ricki Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 2. At restart, if retail Snow Leopard was properly restored and the bootloader installed, you should now be able to boot with your SnowLeoInstaller. Guys am i suppose to install a bootloader?

Jon1977 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had success with an HP Mini 110? I am so brand new to this. I have 10.5.8 running like a charm on it, but I'd be willing to do a clean install of SL if certain things worked. Mainly, graphics and most importantly, wi-fi! Thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgaga Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Radeon 4870 but with 10.5.8 its function ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerr Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Radeon 4870 just like mine, i thought so !! if it is non-reference (1 dvi, 1 d-sub and several HDMIs) then the situation is as follows: Leopard: 10.5.8 will work with the included ATY_Init but you will be limited in resolutions. There is no 1920x1200@60Hz only 75Hz. Also you have to connect it through hdmi-dvi adapter and to connect d-sub cable in order to have picture at all Snow Leopard: Again everything will work with EVOEnabler.kext. Just make Extensions.mkext with evoenabler in the kexts folder in of this giude. before you rerun the 2_SnowLeoInstaller go to your SnowLeoInstaller and delete the alredy made Extensions.mkext from extra folder. You will be able to install SL and get everything working, BUT the pc will freeze. So far i have not found solutions for both of this problems ! If the card is reference 4870 (2 DVIs and tvout) then is much easier. Go and read carefully netaks's site, there are several solutions. In any case try everything, may be my freezes are just brand related and you will not have them...who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've done I launched 1_GetDSDT and the DSDT file is not found. It seems that it doesn't exist on the hard drive as I made a research with spotlight too.

Zeroburn Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Anyone having issues booting off the internal hard drive after installing Snow Leopard off the USB key? I have a HP Pavilion DV3000 series notebook, and I'm getting that issue. Even after doing the Macloader install, and the Chamelon 2.0 RC3 installation to my hard drive. I get this waiting for auto-negotiation message, as if the Ethernet adapter is waiting for getting a connection. Anyone experience this or have a solution? I would like to just boot to the hard drive without the usb key so I can then work on better Kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerr Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 macgaga, do this: 1. Follow the guide to the point when your SnowLeoInstaller drive is ready 2. Download PC EFI 10.4 Beta from this tread 3. Replace boot file in the root of your SnowLeoInstaller drive with the pc efi 4. In Extra folder add this lines to com.apple.boot.plist <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> 5. Now your card should work and you should be able to install SL. If it doesn't then i cannot help you further and you should look for another solution... 6. If your installation is successful enter SL and before you proceed with Phase 3 point 3, replace the boot file in the Scripts/i386 of the guide's folder with pc efi 10.4, then double-click the "3_MacLoader" file and follow prompts. Before you restart go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and add the lines from 4 to com.apple.boot.plist. Repair permissions and then restart. 7. That's it !!! If you were following strictly this and you are a little lucky you should have SL 10.6 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobie Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks Macusers I was trying to post it as a photo. Still no takers for the Motu PCIe dual kext dependancy?? I have poured over the forums and not found a solution as yet, back to the drawing board. Or does anyone know someone who's speciality is in this field, for me to try a PM. Because as far as I am aware this card runs on Mac. Just that none of the builds with it have used the DP35DP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob08 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 hello, just tried your guide and everything was mostly successful until when i tried to boot into my snowleopard install drive.

thedomsta Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi All! Big thanks to all involved - especially MACinized for this guide. I'm having a few n00b issues and after reading this whole thread (as well as many other threads) I'm still a little lost so if anyone can help, I'd be most grateful. I've got iDeneb's 1.4 Leopard installed on my HP TC4200 laptop (Intel Centrino M, 1GB RAM) and after fiddling with that for ages I managed to get a working half decent install but I'd much prefer a Vanilla SnowLeo (which is why we're all here, right). So, following this guide, I get these issues: 1) When editing the DSDT.aml file, there is no "Device (RTC)" line. Does this mean I have to add it or do I just skip this step? So, I just skipped that step for now... 2) KEXTS - this is a gray area for me as I'm not too familiar with them. I didn't add any to the KEXTs folder when creating the SnowLeoInstaller. Where do I find the Kexts my current system is using and which ones should I copy over? So, with no added Kexts for now... 3) I get as far as booting the SnowLeoInstaller volume from the Chameleon bootloader but it hangs here on the white screen with the Apple logo. On booting in VERBOSE mode, I get the message "Still waiting for root device". Is this related to the missing RTC line in my DSDT.aml or the lack of Kexts added as decribed above or have I missed something else? Again, any help would be most appreciated.
