Tamed G Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I know a bunch of people out there are using these fantastic laptops and having great success with SL using the Empire EFi installation method and very few kexts to get a nice install. (I'm one of them ) Just wondering if anyone has managed to work out how to fully power down their system with shutdown. Closest I get is CPU halt, screen off but my hardware lights and fan stay on.

initial drift eg6 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I have that same laptop and I'm currently working on installing 10.6. Would you mind sharing some problems and methods for getting OSX86 installed? So far I have no wireless, sound, direct rendering, screen rez and most of all my mouse is VERY 'laggy' Regarding your issue, I have experienced similar. I have this link below which might provide a solution http://gtdmarc.blogspot.com/2008/09/shutdo...on-os-x-86.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a good thread that got me to the point I am at... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=211724 Make sure you download the Kext and DSDT pack Kevin171 links in post #17 and use those files. Make sure you have bios 206 or higher ( use 207 for the G60 laptop) Make sure you use Empire Efi boot disk to install OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
