dgobe Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 10.6.1 Geekbench 8547 i920 2.67GHz 10.6.2 Geekbench 8344 i920 2.67GHz No noticeable system differences as far as performance is concerned. Maybe some of you have disabled speedstep as part of your overclocking efforts and that might account for the different idle temps. My experiences are like sea_man's when disabling/enabling vanilla power management. I have the BIOS settings as either Enabled, All or Auto(A20M excepted) with regards to any CPU and Power settings. If that doesn't do anything you could post some info: ls -lR /Extra > ~/Desktop/Extra.txt ls -l / > ~/Desktop/root.txt ls -lR /System/Library/Extensions > ~/Desktop/sle.txt Go here: http://www.osx86.es/?p=610 and use the DSDTSE program to get your DSDT, save it in text format. I can check if there are any differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st3p Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hallo everybody. First of all, THANKS for this guide & thanks for keeping updated with fixes, kexts and so on... Great job. Very usefull. Good community. I followed the guide, used Chamaleon from the 1st post, but dgobe's post123 kexts & files instead of those in 1st post. Now, when I reboot for the first time with the -v -f flags, system boots. All is working. Then I repair permissions and after rebooting, I get stuck at the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement loading. If I reboot again with -f it loads again. Weird: using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext fixes that. Weird 'cause with dgobe's dsdt.aml (same mobo and cpu) everything should work. I discovered this by updating to 10.6.2, where the new NullCPU from Netkas is required. Wake from sleep also isn't working. All the rest seems ok. Any idea?

Thanks in adv Simple permissions error, this should fix it: sudo chmod 777 /Volumes/Mac/etc Of course, replace the file path with the one you're getting stuck on.

st3p Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Ok, remade the setup from scratch following guide but with post123's files and netkas' PC-EFI 10.5, rebooted with -v -f options, rebooted again, repaired permissions, updated straight to 10.6.2 using netkas' advices and after rebooting added his sleepenabler. This is a F*****G fast machine ! Thanks to all of you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanmartin Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 body { background: #FFFFFF; margin: 0px; padding: 4px; font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; } Please, I do need some help with my snow leopard install. I have been following this guide to install snowleopard on my PC. My setup is: Asus p6t6 ws revolution Corei7 965 3.2 GHZ 12 GB ram XFX GTX 280 I have obtained a working leopard install by following MJ:s guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=144639 I used chameleon-2.0-RC3-r658 (latest version) and the very same DSDT.aml that worked so nicely in leopard. I removed NVInject.kext sinc I have heard that this does not work in 64-bit. The boot is really slow and it snow leopard actually freezes during boot. First I get a line Bug: launchctl.c:3557 (23930):17: ioctl(s6, SIOAIFADDR_IN6, &ifra6) != -1 Running fsck on the boot volume... Then it stucks for a while (Several minutes) at waiting for DSMOS... finally it hangs at ACPI SMC platform plugin TIMEOUT Please, any help would be appreciated.

tula06 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Dear all, I'm trying to follow this guide, combined with the guide to install retail snow leopard using the thumb drive (http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build-a-hackintosh-with-snow-leopard-start-to-finish) because i don't have an external hdd encasing. My setup is : Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Intel core i7 920 @ 2.66 Ati 4870 500Gb Seagate Sata Drive I'm having a problem on installing snow leo, I set my bios to disable HT, use only 1 core, set SATA controller to AHCI. Everytime I boot up from my thumb drive the screen shows the apple logo and the rotating lines. After that, the screen just suddenly went off and I can't seem to do anything. I've searched the forum for solutions but can't seem to find it. Currently I'm using the extra files from post 123, chameleon-2.0-RC3-r658, and PC-EFI 10.5 Any help would be very appreciated, thank you. SOLVED Turns out I need to use my dvi2vga adaptor.

fc bayern Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 It's hanging on Devise slot 1, that's the slot for Your Ati graphic card. I've had the same problem before switching to Nvidia. You should remove the Ati2000.kext in order to get into the desktop, but no resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3p Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just wanted to say there is a new bios, but requires a new DSDT.aml New DSDT.aml is in this page, scroll at end ! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...40&start=60 I still didn't test...so, as usual, do it at your own risk!

st3p Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 has anyone tried the new FakeSMC 2.5.. http://netkas.org/ Yes, works, but gives me only 2 cores temperatures. @dgobe: thanks for your files and infos, you made my day (and my mac) !!! Just a question: you use a powermanagement disabler or you go with stock appleintelpowermanagement? If I delete the disabler, upate cache and reboot...KP assured! Weird. With files in post 123 it should work without, if I'm not wrong. Anyway, I also upgraded to 10.6 and maybe that's the 'cause? Netkas says to use a disabler...mhhh... I come from Linux world and I'm quite noob in this kind of things...so I ask to you to understand. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgobe Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Mine works fine with stock power management kext. It seems there are some people that have different results though. A few posts up I requested posting some information so I could see if there were any differences with their setup. No one took me up on it. I also mentioned some BIOS settings that might be a factor. 10.6.2 works fine for me. Netkas said "Use any disabler for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, for example – NullCPUPM.kext, install it to Extra mkext and reboot, of course if you made AppleIntelCPUPM to speedstep your cpu, you can skip this step." I fall into the latter, skip this step group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, tonight I'll made a fresh install and tell you exactly informations about my setup and if the KP with stock power management will happen, I'll take a screenshot at it. I also remember that first time I installed, booting by -f option, did the trick. Booting normally, did the KP! Maybe this could explain something?
