lol - yeah I wasn't clear.

I know how to drill down to the plist - I just don't know what to add in there :)

 

ohhhh look at the guide, it will tell you how to do LSPCI through osx86 tools, post the output here and i'll edit the kext for you. its tough to explain.

heres your kext, use jmicronata, and ahciinjector with it.

AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext.zip

 

sorry for the long response, flashGX and I are working on somthing

 

Wasn't long at all and thank you very much for helping out.

Much appreciated.

lol JMicronATA.kext caused KP.

 

I'll just have to look for conflicts in my S/L/E I think

I'll also re-download kexts from here and keep 'em separate from the millions of others I have downloaded :)

 

thanks again

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the guide. I followed the hidden EFI method and it worked. I can boot into a stable Snow Leopard. There are a few things I need to sort out though, like the EFI stings for my nVidia GeForce 9500 GS and my AC79 audio kext (Which I gather I can't use from Leopard?). Networking works just fine, and all my USB ports seem to work. Wonderful stuff and again thanks :P

So close to getting up and running, thought mabe you could take a look and see what kexts would help me out.

 

-I know Graphics is a nogo and so is wifi, but laptop keyboard and touchpad don't work, still get acpi errors, camera doesn't work

 

- Thanks a bunch

I have to send you my thanks, I got Snow Leopard installed (albiet via a very roundabout way) & running on my EP45-UD3P with AHCI on in bios (C2E off & C1E, TM2, EIST & VT on).

 

I had errors restoring the image to an 8GB USB flash drive (GUID or MBR formatted). I restored onto a separate hard drive GUID partitioned, and the stock Chameleon 2.0rc2 would always cause a kernel panic just as the bootloader exited, the screen turned black & the OS would boot. I created a boot CD using your "Making a Boot-132 Disc + Method". I think that DSDT.aml when burned wasn't working - or wasn't in the right place, I had the cmos error, but the same file works fine from an EFI partition.

 

For chameleon, I had read that I needed an /Extra/Extension.mkext for Snow Leopard (I had always skipped this on Leopard). Still, no joy. But on a lark, I tried the chameleon 2.0rc2 which you have listed. It isn't the same as the chameleon project release:

 

stock Chameleon2.0 RC2:

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC2 r640

Build date: 2009-07-25 21:16:41

 

your Chaemeleon 2.0 RC2:

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC2 r

Build date: 2009-08-05 13:12:51

 

but sure enough, it booted right through. Thanks for this. Did you compile this yourself, or did you find it somewhere else?

Hmm, okay I give up. I tried to restart Snow Leo after installing a audio kext and now my PC is unfixably broke, it wont even load the BIOS at start-up, just a blank screen. I have a feeling its got something todo with the CMOS bug. Oh well, least I almost had it lol.

Reporting success on my Asrock ION 330.

Thanks for this guide and for all the contributors.

 

Used the Hidden EFI partition method, and booted from a second partition with the installer files aboard.

Used the 'boot' file, fakesmc.kext, NullCUManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, VooDooHDA (64), and NVinject.kext (cant for the life of me figure out EFI strings or dsdt.aml fix for this).

Had to disable Multithread in BIOS (would love to solve this too. I even tried using dtst auto patcher without effect)

 

Video is choppy (again, Im sure this can be remedied with proper strings/aml)

 

Otherwise.. It's sure a sweet little big cat, snappy in all other ways other than videos.

 

Cheers.

Okay I seemed to have got the PC to boot again, I think when I rebooted from SL it reset my SATA mode back to IDE and I had to turn the PC off at the back to remedy it. I then changed it back to AHCI and all works again. So now I have three things to fix, graphics, audio and this bios problem (CMOS bug?)

It won't work without a working graphics card, you will get a boot hang

you can try this kext.

EVOenabler.kext.zip

 

Is it ICH9 or ICH9R

check the optional section for these

AHCIInjecter + ahciblockstorage

 

 

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the guide. I followed the hidden EFI method and it worked. I can boot into a stable Snow Leopard. There are a few things I need to sort out though, like the EFI stings for my nVidia GeForce 9500 GS and my AC79 audio kext (Which I gather I can't use from Leopard?). Networking works just fine, and all my USB ports seem to work. Wonderful stuff and again thanks :D

 

 

with a Geforce you can make your own efi string using a script built into osx86 tools.

 

or you can try one of the nvidia graphics kexts posted in the graphics drivers section in the guide.

 

you probably won't be able to use it. because it will cause an installation hang, but just try to get a clean install done first. then work on getting the extras working.

but sure enough, it booted right through. Thanks for this. Did you compile this yourself, or did you find it somewhere else?

 

you don't need an extensions.mkext, you can put individual kexts into /Extra/Extensions

 

I didn't make it myself, I believe modbin compiled the boot file.

 

 

I have the same problem, setting this bootflag didn't change anything.

 

 

You probably have a kext from leopard loading over one from snow leopard, causing a KP

 

hey noob i now have a leopard install, so we can run some more tests if you can come online

 

be on when i can

The Asrock ION 330 uses the new nVidia ION chipset (I believe it's a 9400m). It reads as 0x087d10de.

 

http://www.asrock.com/nettop/spec/ION%20330.asp

 

I tried NVinject (works for res changes, but no QE/CI). Tried NVEnabler, no dice at all (I placed the 0x087d10de in the appropriate files).

I was thinking I needed to do some voodoo with dsdt.aml to get this working.

 

Here is an LSPCI

 

Cheers!

can you post your LSPCI, and how much memory is on the graphics card

 

you might have to wait until the graphics card gets a little older so more people have it

 

here is a guide extracted from DSDTSE.app to patch for nVidia desktop graphics cards

This method must be included in the DSDT (In any location, preferably right after the Headers, so the hacks of video audio, net etc work)

Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)
{
	If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
			{
				/* 0000 */	0xC6, 0xB7, 0xB5, 0xA0, 0x18, 0x13, 0x1C, 0x44, 
				/* 0008 */	0xB0, 0xC9, 0xFE, 0x69, 0x5E, 0xAF, 0x94, 0x9B
			}))
	{
		If (LEqual (Arg1, One))
		{
			If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
			{
				Store (Buffer (One)
					{
						0x03
					}, Arg4)
				Return (One)
			}

			If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
			{
				Return (One)
			}
		}
	}

	Store (Buffer (One)
		{
			0x00
		}, Arg4)
	Return (Zero)
}



Example:

To use this hack, you must first insert the "DTGP Method" (Search in the app menu for DSDT Hacks).


In this hack, we must locate the code corresponding to PCI, and place the hack where indicated below.



PCI Code:

Device (PCI0) 
	{ 
		Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03")) 
		Name (_ADR, 0x00) 
		Name (_UID, 0x01) 
		Name (_BBN, 0x00) 
		Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized) 
		{ 
			If (LEqual (OSFL, 0x02)) 
			{ 
				Return (0x02) 
			} 
			Else 
			{ 
				Return (0x03) 
			} 
		 .................. elcódigo original continua.



PCI Code with Hack:

Here we show you two sections that we should configure depending on our card.				

The NVCAP should be extracted with ioregistry explorer while having our cards working correctly with QE/CI, previous to injecting it in the DSDT, to ensure you have
the correct values.



								"DSDT ROM v.1a by #EvOsx86 (c)"  // <------ Here you can change the name of your card rom

								VRAM,totalsize", 
								Buffer (0x04) 
								{ 
									0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x20   //<----------- Here is the video card's memory amount
								},


								"NVCAP",	
								Buffer (0x18) 
								{ 
									/* 0000 */	0x04, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00, //<--------- Aquí el NVCAP.
									/* 0008 */	0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x07, 
									/* 0010 */	0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

first of all i would like to thank noob and flashGX for this amazing guide.

i can install Snow Leopard flawlessly on my machine (GA-X48-DQ6).

 

what is buggin me now is that i can't have internet (DSL connected to ethernet port), without booting up with -f -v boot flag.

if i tried to boot normally without flags, the ethernet port is not working (not connected, and sometimes has self ip address with no connection). and if that happens, i have to boot back to my leopard and reboot again lo snow using boot flags. if i tried to boot right back to snow with -f -v flags, it still won't connect. i have to boot to leopard first to "trigger" the lan, boot with -f -v flags, and then and only then that i can have my ethernet connected.

 

now the extra folder is in my boot directory (not in EFi partition), and in E/E i have Realtek R1000.kext. i read from the dsdt guide that i use, that i don't need that R1000.kext once i patched my dsdt with LAN function, but i found out that if i remove the R1000.kext from E/E, then my ethernet is not connected at all.

 

in leopard usually i used rtgmac for this ethernet problem. do anyone know any snow version of rtgmac?

i know that this is hardware specific, but any help/link/guide to solve this is greatly appreciated.

btw, my ethernet chip is Realtek 8111C.

you are probably missing dependencies, place R1000.kext in system/library/extensions and repair permissions.

Thanks Noob766. My lspci was posted in my original reply as an image (snapped it via remote-desktop).

 

I did come across the DSDTSE app last night, and looked through the chipset hacks you listed. Sadly, I believe the ION chipset is unique in that it is neither the desktop or laptop profile given its unique architecture. There is NO Device (PEGP) in my .aml file.

For kicks, I tried that code, but never could find the right spot to insert/replace existing code in my current file given its differences. I think I either overwrote too much, or didnt insert enough.

I am still reading up on it, and will not let the 7 or 8 failed compiles deter me hehe.

 

Found this using ioreg.. looks important to my untrained eye... (image attached)

@noob766, thanks for the info for the Graphics card. I know it worked in 10.5.6, so I was thinking of getting leopard to that then getting the EFI strings from that, but I'll try the OSx86tools as well ;). Also with the resetting SATA mode to IDE i don't have any usbs plugged in, the EFI partition is on the drive if thats what you mean. Is DSMOS.kext worth trying?

Seems like I have some problems getting my Gigabyte 4850 (GV-R485MC-1GH) running using this method. Booting from USB I keep getting a black screen with some white strange looking stripes on the screen when having the evoenabler.kext added in E/E.

 

Are there any other extensions to try first, or is it fiddling with DSDT or EFI strings that might be my reprieve?
