10.4.3 8111a SUCCESS!

[Korrupted]

I redownloaded the ISO i was using, and it installed flawlessly onto my Sony Vaio PCG-K33 laptop. The issues now, with no hope of fixing, as far as i can tell:

 

No sound(Realtek AC97 Audio, no clue about chipset)

No Wireless lan(LAN-Express as IEEE 802.11g)

No fullscreen resolution(Mobile ATI Radeon 345)

Does not play DVDs.

 

Aside from these flaws, the hardwire ethernet port works, usb works, touchpad works, as does the cd/dvd drive, except it will not play movies. So I am happy.

You'll probably get some use out of the program "Unknown Devices" from this site. This lets you look at the deep technical info for all devices giving IDs to your system.

 

The technical details that are important for a sound driver areL

The chip (mine is Chip: Intel Corporation 82801FB ICH6 High Definition Audio Controller), and the PNP ID (mine is VEN_8086&DEV_2668&SUBSYS_26688086&REV_03).

 

The vendor and device are 4 characters each, device first. So the code inside one of these audio kext files would have to have 0x26688086 in them somewhere, which of course they don't, so I can't hear squat either.

 

I've tried adding my PNP ID to the existing ICH6 audio entry, but that was no good. Therefore, I don't know what the process entails to get an unlisted chipset working with OS X.

 

In some cases, if you right click on a specific chip or manufacturer name in the Unknown Devices list and ask to search the net, sometimes you can end up at a driver download site. Some have OS X drivers. Not many.

 

Halfdone is getting some porno site piracy, it's been on and offline. If you can find Unknowndevices.exe on some other Windows software download site, you may have to go there.
