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.

I will update the first post soon !

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 ...

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 ...

- 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/

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

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).

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 !

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" ?

- 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 !)
andycool123 wrote: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 !
andycool123 wrote: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 !

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

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?
