sorry for that taking so long: here is my pcmcia kext http://www.sendspace.com/file/64k02u , its from 10.4 or something, i don't remember anymore, you have to put it in /System/Library/Extensions/.
another question, how do i get my microphone working?

a and btw for everyone that uses this guide, if you want to connect multiple displays, you will be very happy with this tool: http://www.fabiancanas.com/Projects/MirrorDisplays/ . i use to start it from spotlight when my screen gets corrupted.

Thanks for that ! ... Did you try to put it in /Extra/Extension ? ... so we can keep our Vanilla /S/L/E ?
I will update the first post soon !

another question, how do i get my microphone working?

I followed Silencer's researches, and I usedthis thread to get a working VoodooHDA (2.5.6) with my mike ...

There are may successful report on this board ...

Here is my VoodooHDA sound driver for T60 ( 2008 - CTO ) running 10.6.0 snow leopard , with working internal microphone:

I got it here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=355 (Download here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=483 - russian ) with node patches (NodesToPatch) info.plist section from here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.p ... #entry2283

... Great method ... I will also update the first post with it ! thanks !

[nuskoolkiddie]

voodoohda seems like a lot of wwork for a function (mic) i rarely use, also i can't find any suggestions where to put it, /E/E/ or /S/L/E/

[Sebinouse]

Actually it is pretty easy, because all the hard work has been done by other people ... just grab several VoodooHDA.kext (here or in the DSDT patching thread), put it in /E/E/ and use the command in terminal :

Code: Select all

sudo kextload /Extra/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

Code: Select all

kextunload /Extra/extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

until you find the right file ...

[nuskoolkiddie]

sounds nice, thanks, should i uninstall applehda, previous to doing this? also, do i need the prefpane, and if so is the version relevant or is there only one prefpane

[Sebinouse]

If you use my DSDT (or Silencer's), it has already been disabled, or if you are comfortable with DSDT edit you can apply the AppleHDA disabler from DSDT patching for Dummies or you can just delete AppleHDA.kext from /S/L/E and rebuilt kextcaches (run pfix) ...

You don't need to run pfix each time you try a VoodooHDA.kext, do it only when you have found the right file ...

[shooteagle]

can you please clarify on the MBR step.

I launch "ShowAllFiles" and select "Show"

And i see the two files, OS Install.mpkg and OSInstall, in the two different directories.
can you please clarify which file goes where and which file need to be delete if so.

thanks.

1) USB Key
- ...
- If you need a MBR partition table :

• - Launch "ShowAllFiles" and select "Show"

• - Replace:
  
  • ...
  
  
  • OSInstall.mpkg in /Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Installation/Packages
  
  
  • ...
  
  
  • OSInstall in /Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSInstall.framework/Versions/A/
  
  
  • ...

• - Launch once again "ShowAllFiles" and select "Hide"

- Launch "pfix" and select your "USB Key"

[shooteagle]

sorry for being so dense. but do i need to replace both files? or do take the file call "OSInstall" in /Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSInstall.framework/Versions/A/ and move it to /Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Installation/Packages

[Sebinouse]

I confirm ... you have to replace the 2 files.

[shooteagle]

thanks. i did. the x60s booted and the white screen with apple logo appears. ~ 20 seconds, the installation screen appear but with a picture of seeming like a mac desktop tower and a zooming picture of a slidering button with an arrow pointing up. It hangs on that screen, also i notice i can't move my mouse. any ideas?

[shooteagle]

the image I'm using is 10.6.3. do you think that is the problem?

[shooteagle]

On usb key, i have originally 3 folders, OS-X Install, Option Install and another directory which i can't remember. Then i add two more folder which is the MacPNT folder and the /Extra folder.

Congrats' your ubs key is bootable !

I don't remember ... doesn't matter ... if you follow the guide CAREFULLY !

the image I'm using is 10.6.3. do you think that is the problem?

Already answered : no (and just to be sure, it is a retail/original/genuine Apple DVD ?)

It hangs on that screen, also i notice i can't move my mouse. any ideas?

run pfix and select the usb key ... then you WILL be able to move the mouse and even use the keyboard !

1) USB Key
- On "MacOSX"
- ...
- Launch "pfix" and select your "USB Key"

[shooteagle]

I did the pfix, but still it hangs there? have you seen that screen with the image of mac desktop tower and the a zoom picture of sliding button?

[Sebinouse]

for me the first image I get is one like this one : http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/ ... nguage.jpg

Can you try to find yours on the web, or take a picture of it ?

PS: about your retail DVD where did you get it ?

[shooteagle]

off internet (demonoid.xxx). do i need a retail copy from Apple store?

[shooteagle]

Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD (Retail/DMG) 10.6.3

[Sebinouse]

ONCE AGAIN ... please read the first post CAREFULLY !

When I say Retail DVD I mean actual/genuine/apple DVD ... not some stuff randomly downloaded/STOLEN from the web !

Snow leopard costs 29$ ...

Your DMG contents many other things (4 partitions !), I don't know what they are and I really don't wanna know (even if I guess bootcamp is loading).

[shooteagle]

ok. off to the apple to buy it... thanks.

[Sebinouse]

i have 10.6.3 installed on x60s, card reader and wireless are two of the items not working. initially had the intel wireless, bought atheros and installed. can anyone help on how to get it working.. thanks.

as detail instruciton as possible as i'm i newbie on this.

This is strange ... because I have got the exact same card and it should be handled by the X60TLegacy kext ... You can give this kext a try : http://netkas.org/?p=315

By card reader, you mean SD card reader ? this should also be handled by VoodooSDHC ... Strange ...

Keep me advice !

[shooteagle]

the link doesn't work from the page you sent me to.

[shooteagle]

is there a way to re-run the two kext for the wireless and the sd card reader. can you tell how if possible? thanks.

[Sebinouse]

the link doesn't work from the page you sent me to.

You're right ... Netkas changed his server ... here is the new link : http://mirror.netkas.org/10.6.2/AtherosFix.kext.zip

Go to to "About his mac" by clicking on the apple on the left top corner. Click on "More info". What exactly do you have under "Hardware" "PCI Card" and under "Network" "Airport" ?

[andycool123]

- Install "Chameleon RC4-AsereBLN-1.1.9" ON THIS "USB KEY" (be careful this could damage your own hardware)

Will this damage the mac that you use to do this step on? Is that what you mean by hardware?

I am going to try this but cannot hurt the iMac I will be using.


Also, when you say to install SL on the HDD Snow, where do you do that from? Do you put it in the laptop and boot from usb key?


And one last thing, how do you install chameleon? I have not gotten snow Leopard yet but will be here tomorrow.

Thanks so much!!!

This installer modifies some partition table stuff on the disk you have selected ... This precaution was written in the guide I used, I prefer relay it !

To avoid any problem, just use it carefully and select the right disk (the "USB Key" and later on the "HDD SNow" but NEVER your working "MacOSX" disk !)

(According myHack there is a way to restore an original apple disk after this mistake ...but this original apple disk will be unbootable in the original apple hardware until you run this patch !)

Also, when you say to install SL on the HDD Snow, where do you do that from? Do you put it in the laptop and boot from usb key?

Once you boot on the "USB Key", the retail Snow Leopard Installer will be launched and you just have to select "HDD Snow" as destination and that's all !

And one last thing, how do you install chameleon? I have not gotten snow Leopard yet but will be here tomorrow.

On "MacOSX" (for you your iMac), just launch "AsereBLN 1.1.9 Bootloader (Based on Chameleon 2 RC4)" from this package and select the USB key /HDD Snow !

... OK ... for me everything it is just fine ... I don't see why there is a problem ...

Can you give me the result of this command in terminal :

Code: Select all

lspci -nn

if it doesn't work, install OSX86Tools and clic on "View PCI devices"
(you should then have a precise list of your hardware)

I also need more info about your Atheros card.

Can you try this in terminal and then try your SD card reader : (replace YourMacHardDrive by the real name of your mac hard drive aka HDDSnow ..)

Code: Select all

sudo kextload /Volumes/YourMacHardDrive/Extra/Extensions/VoodooSDHC.kext/

[shooteagle]

should the AtherosFix.kext and VoodooSDHC.kext be both in the E/E folder and S/L/E folder?

[shooteagle]

master Sebinouse;

I reinstall w/o these two kext. how should i reinstall them. should i install as follow each kext which i got from another forum.

Drag Kext Utility and Kext Helper b7 to your Applications folder.
1. copy the xxx.kext to System – Library – Extensions
3. Open Kext Helper b7.
4. Drag xxx.kext from System – Library – Extensions into Kext Helper b7.
5. Type your password and click EASY INSTALL.
6. Close Kext Helper b7.
7. Open Snow Leopard drive.
8. Drag /Extra/Extensions folder onto Kext Utility application. (This will repair permissions on the folder, backup your cache file, and replace cache file with an updated one.)
9. Drag /System/Library/Extensions folder onto Kext Utility application.
10. Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
11. Highlight Snow Leopard in the left column.
12. Click Repair Permissions. You should now have Ethernet access.

The above doesn't show i putting the xxx.kext in the E/E folder.

Is this right?
