Hi!

Put the file dsdt.aml into Extra folder in root of Snow HDD and tell us (I suppose that all the files of blackch are copy to the appropiate folders and extensions.mkext is in Extra folder too. Bye

 

 

Hi,

 

Yes I have the dsdt.aml file both in the Snow HDD Root and in the Extra Folder,

 

I have copied all files from blackch to the appropriate folders and yes i have the extensinos.mkext in the extra folder once permissions etc and reset using mkextMaker

 

i notice smilenkovski suggested removing the IOATAFamily.kext. from System>Libary>Extensions

 

from the look of the instruction you have to replace the original one in this path with the one from blackch Extra folder.

Maybe you should try non modified video kexts. Download this version from here and use kextutility to install...

Hello smilenkovski:

The first, sorry for not knowing. I tell you:

The steps that I taken were:

I copy the kext file to the folder Snow/Extras / Extensions. I Drag & Drop this folder to kextutility. Restart the PC (does not work neither arch=i386 or with arch = i386-v because I have the same kernel panic, but I restarted with arch = i386-x-fy and I have the desktop well but with the resolution of 1024x768). I must say that the video kext from the original installation are in System / Library / Extensions I have not deleted, should I do? .To install the kext, I'm doing well???. Thank you very much again for your time.

DO NOt copy kexts into any folder. Just drag them to kextutility like files. Remove video kexts from Extra folder.

And of course you can check the link blackch is suggesting.

Good luck.

Hello again:

I've completed the first three steps again. I installed the HD on the PC. I installed the kext with kextutility (without copying any kext to any directory). I rebooted with arch = i386 and leaves the gray screen pc shut down and restart. I tried the boot with arch = i386-x-f and neither does: it appears gray screen again shut down and restart. What am I doing wrong?. I am desperate. Help please.

Just checking. It seems that you can't install SL at all? I tough that you have already done before but you had video problems only. Never mind , just carefully follow the guide and it is almost impossible to fail. We have same computers O.K?

Hi, smilenkovski!

Firstly, I wanna sad "Big Thanks!!!" for your theme. In AppleLife.ru I created theme about installing Mac OS X 10.6 on HP Compaq 6720s. It's in Russian, but important ideas and solutions are understandable.

So, I have a problem with USB. Modifed IOPCIFamily.kext in S/L/E. USBBusFix=Yes isn't help for me. Kernel log:

Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:	  1.781   AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff80053f3000]: unable to get filterInterruptEventSource
Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:	  1.782   AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff80053f3000]::UIMInitialize - Error occurred (0xe00002be)
Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:	  1.812   AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff80053f3000]::start unable to initialize UIM

Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: Kernel is LP64
Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete
Feb  3 23:11:01 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:	  7. 20   AppleUSBUHCI[0xffffff8024fb7000]::start unable to initialize UIMUSBF:   7. 20   AppleUSBUHCI[0xffffff8024fb1000]::start unable to initialize UIM

If I try to booting with -f parameter, then all working very well.

BlackCH posted from his theme about DSDT:

The most important thing is that fixes the IRQ conflicts between HPET and USB. Now you can load AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without loosing USB, therefore you can start using native SpeedStep (yes, it works).

Is it solution for me?

Sorry for my English :)

Hi Vlad.

I saw you article on SL on HP 6720s. I can understand a bit of Russian because I'm macedonian and our languages has the same root, slavic root. It is very nice article but, at the end of the article you are saying that sound, sleep don't work. If you follow the procedure from my guide you should have sound and sleep working. You wouldn't be happy with the temperature of your laptop but if you follow juanerson guide on temps you can solve that problem too.

Glad to help.

P.S.

I'm not using my HP 6720s several months because my daughter is using for school so I have rare opportunities to check things on it.

Hey finally made it xP it boots changed the kext that was making the kernel panic (dual boot with windows7 and macdrive8 help xP)

 

but when i install the kext's with kext helper...when i reboot the laptop...it stays still i cant remember if it showed kernel panic or not..but im fully tired of trying to get the right kexts...so to make it fast i ran the osxtools application and checked my laptop specs, cuz i think they are a little bit diferent from urs HP6720s here it is:

those up there aint probs anymore..now the big deal is that i changed the bootloader..and aparently it {censored}ed up the kexts for the graphics and the usb stuff..i think the usb started working when i putted the DSDT from BlackOH.

So how to fix this huge and anoying non-sense?

Hi, Clearly according to the image your problem (KP) is caused by the extension voodoobattery.kext, you can see that? Now, the solution is delete it from System/Library/Extensions and put the AppleACPIbatteryManager(x32) from my signature in /Extra/Extensions/, rebuilt the hybrid (x32-x64) cache Extensions.mkext (/Extra) with kext utility 2.4.2 by cVaD, and restart for test. And you are right, using the DSDT.aml for your machine (laptop I think) is the "only way" to obtain USB functionality in Snow Leopard, at least its my case. Bye.

Hi.

For patching dsdt in windows follow this thread. You'll find guide and software for patching there. Best place on internet on that issue. You can use my guide for installing kexts but it involves removing the HD from the laptop installing SL on some other Mac or hackintosh running SL than putting it back. I'm not experienced on installig SL on laptop using usb. There is a info on that in blackosx guide on installing SL here.
