Any chance we'll get ahold of a Bonjour fix that'll work in 64-bit?

Very nice tutorial, man.

PCI NIC Not Detected

Thanks for all of your hard work! I have everything up and running, sleep and sound have no problems at all. Unfortunately I was unlucky enough to get a G31M-E2SL 2.0 board from NewEgg for this project, so I also had to install an Encore ENGLA-1320 card (RealTek 8169). It worked out of the box under 10.5.6, with the vanilla IONetworkingFamily kext. In 10.6 it's not detecting any PCI card as installed. It shows up in the POST and it has a light, so I know it's working, I just can't get show up. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot, just paying back the community who made a guide before me.

for 64bit bonjour, as of this message the only way to make it work is via promisc which what im currently using now.

"when install DVD restore is done go to snow folder on your Desktop and copy the following to root of your flash drive

● dsdt.aml
● boot.plist - edit this to match your EFI Strings, timeout and Graphics mode
● Extensions[USB] (rename it to Extensions)
● Themes

when done you can now turn off your Leopard machine."

Do you really mean that we should copy the files from the /Snow/Extra/ folder on the Desktop, to the ROOT of the USB-Stick?

Edit: Also.. I couldnt install Chameleon v2 RC1 on the Snow Leopard disc after the installation.
It stops on "writing package reciept". (allmost at the start of the installer).
Any workaround on this?
I found a way to do it manually. But I really dont know if I did it correctly.

Or is it a typo, and we should really copy it from /Snow/Extra/ to /USBSTICK/Extra/ ?

Because when I copy it to the ROOT of the USB-Stick as you have written here, I cant get to the installation-screen. I only get an gray screen with the mouse-cursor spinning.

When I put it in /USB-STICK/Extra/ I can access the Installation-screen successfully.

it's a typo thanks for noticing it, you should copy it to your USB's Extra folder

editing it now

Thanks for your update to this great guide, new files worked fine.

I wonder, what is the purpose of making your own mkext file? I don't have one on my EFI partition, would it make the boot time shorter if I had?

Another thing I discovered just now is that I can't boot into 32bit. I never tried before but I was trying to get final cut going and thought it might help with 32bit. I'm getting a KP quickly into the boot.

I tried the fix in this thread : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=181209 but no luck.
Also I'm not sure if I should include the kexts in the EFI partition when rebuilding the mkext as the fix says.

Fixed: Writing this in 32 kernel. I moved my installation from efi partition to main partition, but I think the problem was that some of my kexts had root:admin ownership instead of root:wheel. It was kextcache that complained about it and gave me the clue. I guess the fix in the thread above is quite good after all.

no need to transfer it to main, im running my EXTRA folder on a hidden EFI too but no problems on 32/64. To make an mkext just replace the path on the link you provided to the path your EFI partition is, just be sure to mount it first. If starting from scratch (new install) you can also make it in leopard just before the first boot of snow but remove the "-t" command and also replace 0:0 to root:wheel.. i just didnt include it on my guide on purpose to make it a friendly guide (meaning no terminal) and compliment it with kext utility to be run in snow

im still a noob and finding more ways to improve my install since this board is my very first and only hackintosh.

this could the reason but i dont have a 2.0 board so i could be wrong.

Boot uuid

Thanks for Email i had USB Key UUID as part of the boot.plist. So tried to remove as suggested.

I tried exact same install off USB this time without UUID String in boot.plist and this time with 32 bit mode no kernel panics. Completed install part.

As suggested followed 1st post closely (but missed this) and this appears to be the only problem with installer.

Now just gotta get the drive ready to boot off new drive with bootloader again. Is there easy way to do this from terminal after install completes? As i dont have existing leopard on new drive. Will go thru guides again and forum to see if can find out whats next. Is there anyone that can help? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do I have to run installer package again for Chamelon 2 RC1?

Tried Guide with Exact Settings for G31M-E2SL and Unable to Install

Have Rev 2.0 of Board so no Realtek. Have old Dlink DGE-530T, which will use (may try to use SKGE.kext v0.2d or 0.2e but unsure if working in 64 bit mode) later after get to complete actual install. For Video just using onboard GMA3100 for now.

Loaded all stuff on to drive as shown in pics on 1st Page of Thread. (boot file, Extras Folder (with Themes, Extension Folders, and in root boot.plist and DSDT.aml file). Have Retail Snow Leopard.
Edited boot.plist as required with UUID and added kernel flags for -v -x32 mode.

Also dont have running Leopard system other than on Mac Pro.
Machine trying to install on has XP 32 and Win 7 64 Already on it on single SATA drive 0, and then trying to install on second drive.

I am able to boot off usb. (tried with and without verbose mode and get to start install.). Then use disk utituly to format with HFS+ as GUID then select to install on. Then choose custom options and remove fonts and languages not required. Then starts installing and gets to about 24 min or less then kernel panic or crash. Similar to initial posts and post by dmbardal.

Could it be issue with DSDT file for Rev 1 vs Rev 2 Boards. Have tried to recompile/dissassemble of DSDT with no luck from comparing yours to the one extracted from Rev2.0 FC BIOS from July. Also tried 64 bit mode and same things.

I am at a loss. Only KEXT's used are ones in USB folder that suggest. Also tried KEXT's from OS folder but dont get into option to install get problems before installer starts after booting from USB.

Also tried changing BIOS Settings (disabling features for CPU, etc..) . Possible BIOS setup screenshots anyone? Any thoughts on setup here to help me get past install and on my way?
