success, set to AHCI and HPET eliminate all the probs for my mobo..
Installed and everything works now.. even sound.. thanks again djnitehawk


off topic..
is it me or disks now in SL change to yellow

actually ive never had to do that using the retail dvd installer method as mentioned on the guide... even for installing on usb drives...

ive only had to do that after using the "osintall.mpgk" method from within Leo 10.5 cos the "osinstall.mpgk" doesnt take care of setting the correct permissions....

but the retail dvd installer does take care of the permissions... so ive never had any permission related problems after installing from the retail dvd installer... hence, the chosen method of installing as mentioned on the guide...

thanks for ur input... appreciate it...

it is safe to ignore that... that is output by Fassl's dsdt patcher... its trying to clear the screen but it cant find the clear command on the install dvd... i cant fix that... but it doesnt do any harm... if you look more closely there will be one more error by the dsdt patcher that says something like "TAR command missing" and that is also not a problem...

aha... that is cos i've reduced the time that chameleon waits for your input from 5 secs to 1 sec... you can get chameleon to display a list of drives in either two ways...

1. edit the "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and increase the timeout value from 1 to whatever you want...

2. simply keep pressing the left and right arrow keys one after the other while ur machine boots, and chameleon will be interrupted and the list of drives will be displayed...

again edit the boot plist file and remove the "-v" part from there to get rid of the verbose mode boot... you will have the grey apple screen with the spinning wheely thing...

ive included the -v cos that actually fixed my computer not waking up from sleep... but ur comp might not need that...

try using an EFI string from OSX86Tools... and get rid of the "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" part from the boot plist...

as noted on the main post, sound, network, etc drivers dont work from /extra/extensions...

u gotta install them to /system/library/extensions...

remove them from /E/E

download kext utility... drag and drop voodoohda onto kext utility to install them to /S/L/E...

or move them manually and issue the permission repair commands as noted on the main post...

weird... i dont get that...

so this is what this problem looks like... ive only heard of it...

u gotta install a kext called "ahciblockstorageinjector.kext" to your /extra/extensions...

if that doesnt fix it, ask for help in the forum cos i dont know any other fix for it...

btw glad to hear ur up and running!!!

osx86 tools seems to have done the trick for my video card. My resolution automatically switched to 1920x1080 and it now shows up as it should in the system profiler. I remember reading about something called Quartz Extreme / Core Image being something that needs to be enabled. How do I know if this is working properly?

I'm still having trouble getting my audio to work. I installed the legacy883.kext ( it's supposed to work w\ my board ) using kext utility and there still isn't an audio device showing up in the sound preferences.

Someone in this thread said, "was able to just use the new legacy883.kext in extra/extensions. Although first time did not take. However when cloned to new drive started working. So must have to rebuild mkext or something like that. Try OSX86 Tools and rebuild and Chameleon 2 RC3"

Do you know how I would go about doing such a rebuild? I don't see an option in osx86tools that says it would do this specifically.

Someone also mentions that all they did was "reboot twice both times with -v -f -F. "

Do you know what these extra 'f' and 'F' flags mean?

Is voodoohda.kext some kind of universal sound driver that works with all boards?

I also need a ethernet solution as I have a rev. 2 board. The tp-link tg-3269 was recommended in this thread, but it doesn't seem to be available in any of the US based sites/stores. Is there an alternative NIC that works just as well? I've also though about buying one of these apple usb ethernet adapters as the inside of my case is pretty tightly packed.

Sorry if these questions are beyond the scope of your thread but you seem to really know what you're doing. Thanks DJ.

if you have no choppiness or video lag when playing videos it probably means its enabled... the thing is they say that the system profiler doesnt show the info about CI/QE anymore... ive read that if its not enabled, launching the dvd player app will give u an error... so launch that and see if it errors... if not, ur fine...

i personally havent used legacy883.kext so i cant vouch for that...

i think that's what their goal is... and ive read that voodoohda works with ALC833... so try the following:

1. get rid of all other sound kexts that u have added, from both /E/E and /S/L/E

2. download the latest voodoohda and extract it...

3. copy voodoohda.kext to /S/L/E and run the following commands in terminal to fix repair permissions and rebuid mkext caches...

• sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions
• sudo chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions
• sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/NAMEOFSNOWVOLUME
• sudo touch /system/library/extensions

4. install the voodoohda pref pane by double-clicking on it...

5. reboot and pray to the hackintosh gods :-)

if that didnt work for you, u might have to do some custom DSDT hacking and use some other patched kexts... remember reading about it but cant remember from where... google is ur friend :-)

after some brief searching it looks like a kext for the rev2 board ethernet doesnt exist... (i may be wrong thoug)... keep searchin...

the apple usb adapter thing looks like a good cheap option considering ur space problems...

no worries brotha... and ur welcome...

hello there, the script is running just fine THANK YOU MAN and keep up the good work. i have one question though: can i install on MBR? thanks

cheers

welcome...

honestly man i dont know if it can be installed on mbr partitions, cos i havent tried it myself... u could experiment and let us all know maybe?

im not at home right now to check it...

i have replaced the OSInstall.mpkg on my USB snow install, but i cannot install on MBR disk yet
i will install it on GUID anyway but it would be nice if the script could make MBR install available for people with one HDD and two partitions (windows is one of them)

Cheers

Hi,

any suggestions to "Systemuptime in Nanoseconds=206663406631" system hanging while booting - just before there was a kernelpanic with HPETs not found?

thx
