abdo 5: what method did you use to enable audio support before? dsdt patch? voodooHDA? did you ensure to put the AppleHDA 10.6.2 in /S/L/E ? what audio device do you have? I just need a more clear description to really know what to suggest to you.

pesto: Simple solution would be to add an empty /System/Library/Extensions folder to the device in question.

Alternatively you could remove the following check, but I would not recommend this to anyone other than experienced users:

if [ ! -d "$VOLUME/System/Library/Extensions" ]
then
echo “$VOLUME does not appear to contain a valid OSx86 installation.”
selecttarget
fi

Is there a way to tell PFIX to repair/touch my “extra” folder which is not on the system partition (error “/Volumes/… does not appear to contain a valid OSx86 installation”)? Doing it manually each time I change kext is a pain in the butt.

THX for any help :)

Grand merci pour ce merveilleux myHack qui simplifie au maximum l’installation de Snow sur PC. A son auteur, je dis “bravo” et bonne continuation.
Je vous prie de m’excuser pour la langue: je ne parle pas anglais.

Thanks for your help. I now have a fully functioning SnowLeopard System!

I also ran into an issue with the “load_smbfs” file set to 644, not 755. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t mount any SMB shares, and some searching led me to this page. I actually have been using pfix v2.6, and still ran into this issue. Now that I know what causes it, it’s not a big issue.

Thanks for the utilities (and the myhack installer), as I was able to upgrade my hackintosh to Snow Leopard (w/ the chocolate kernel) on my old P4 3.0GHz box.

Hi Conti,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have finally resolved the issue.

Basically I deleted my kexts (as I suspect the NVEnabler 64.kext that I have installed to be cause of the error) and rebuilt the kext cache :)

Cheers

bryan: My first impression is that this sounds like you need to setup GraphicsEnabler and ensure that it is using the correct pci root.

Hi Conti,

Thanks to your guide (after innumerous searches on the internet), I have been able to successfully set up a dual boot system for Leopard and Win 7 on my P55/Intel Core i5 system.

What baffles me is everytime I start up my pc and selects Leopard as the system to boot, the pc will immediately cease to send signals to my monitor after the “Taking iSuck out of..”/spinning wheel screen. The hard disk LED continues to blink, indicating that there is hard disk activity but nothing happens on my monitor. Only after a second boot will Leopard load successfully after the spinning wheel screen. This happens all the time.

Any idea what went wrong ??

Regards
Bryan
