Thanks for the howto, tho i didn't worked for me.

I'm trying to install SL on my Asus P5KPL-AM SE (G31 Chipset) with a HD4850 512MB.

I've tried to bind in some kexts, but i always get:

 

AppleACPIPlatform

 

Kernel Panics upon first boot.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Just an update:

 

Managed to get QE/CI working perfectly now on the ION 330.

When using NVinject.kext, I would get resolution change ability, but no QE/CI. I switched to SilentNatit (64), but had to modify the NVCAP settings to match the IONs onboard GPU.

 

I changed it from <data>BAAAAAAAAwAMAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=</data> (the default in Natit.kext) to <data>BAAAAAAAAwAcAAAAAAAACgAAAAA=</data>.

 

Blammo! Full video goodness, with resolution change ability, and QE/CI.

 

The only odd thing I can see, is that it wont load Natit.kext from my hidden EFI partition on boot, only from S/L/E. Same as Voodoo.kext.

Perhps I', missing some there too.

 

Cheers!

Post your LSPCI

 

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?

 

Post your LSPCI

 

how to get the radeon 3870 working?

 

Try EVOEnabler.

Same thing happening here with 4850 512MB. Tried plenty of things to try fix it to no avail.

Hi, I decided to try Snow Leopard and I thought it would be easy, but it was not...

I used efi string for graphic card so there should not be a problem.

 

Maybe I am missing some kext, so I came here where someone can help me with kext and kp.

AHCIPortInjector.kext + Updated_With_DevID_z0r_AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext.zip + EVOEnabler.kext + Needed Kexts

No reason to apologize, your answers are indeed fast enough.

 

The question is what those "Needed Kexts" might be. Even with AHCIPortInjector, the updated AppleIntelPIIXATA and the EVOenabler, I get the white striped black screen.

 

Starting the installer with -x -v works fine and after completed installation, I can start the OS with -x -v (ofc in 1024x768 only).

 

Don't know if it matters but when starting the installer with no options at all I just get an empty gray screen and no mouse cursor.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I reckon it's the display drivers that is the problem.

Thanks for fast reply, and again no need for apologies. We all need good and well deserved sleep :)

 

It seems I was using right kexts...

 

chameleon usb bootloader works, but when I select Snow Leopard Installer partition the same kernel panic appears. (screenshot posted in the first post on this page)

 

 

Update

 

Solved (-bios settings-)

 

-this motherboard is incredible complicated to setup

-SATA must be set as IDE with COMBINED (if I didnt accidentally clicked that, I would never have figure it out)

the needed kexts are fakesmc.kext, openhaltrestart.kext, and nullcpupowermanagement.kext, check the graphics card section of these forums and see if you can find a solution to your card.

 

If you are still KP, try changing the bios set up for your IDE/AHCI/SATA cards to get it to boot.

Unfortunately, I already have those kexts, so it seems to be the driver that need some manipulation.

 

But thanks for your effort to help anyhow!

List all the kexts you have in your extra/extensions folder. i'll tell you which ones to take out.

 

Thank You. I have fakesmc.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, and NullCpuPowermangement.kext in extra/extensions.

 

In my Extra folder i have a DSDT.aml that worked with my 10.5 install and i modified to fix the cmos snow leopard bug, i also have a com.apple.boot.plist from and an extensions.mkext that i took from another snow leopard pack.
