Snow Leo OSX86

[aquamac]

Snow 10A261c is working in my Hack well now apart from onboard sound! I am running a pair of GeForce GTX 280's, but 285's should work fine. Both my lan ports are working + my onboard Asus wireless too works better than ever.

I have not got Raid to work yet although I did get it try to boot, but it always ends with a KP just before the blue screen which does mean that all the disks are found but the "boot" file probably needs modding in some way.

Snow is very stable now, there are a couple of glitches I noticed,

1.When you open a window sometimes, it cannot remember which monitor it was last opened on (not going to be a problem generally) but a bit annoying on a 3 monitor setup and the recycle bin always asks you if you are sure that you want to delete even if you have turned that off in finder preferences.

[[This now seems to have fixed itself!]]

Things I still need to fix!

1. Onboard Sound - the fixed kext from Leo for my Asus no longer works. I don't actually use it anyway, but this still annoys me! This probably need to be converted to a 64 bit kext - if I can work out how to do that.

2. Have not got sleep working yet.

3. Shutdown takes a while and reboot does not quite get there - I think this may be related to USB.

Generally though, it's a nice experience!

Do you get your leo distros from Apple? or is that version lose on the net for us other hack junkies?

My QuickSilver should be up and running and here of a GPU F@H OSX client for Snow kitty being in the wings.. maybe a Hack on OSX is long over due.

Hi Joe,

This is a copy I ahem...found, then (sound of whistling), got to work on my hack. Still do not have onboard sound working but have been short of time recently. I got sound to work in system profiler by amalgamating my working Leo kext with the snow kitty one, but it is not showing in sys preferences!

Everything else is nice though! It was really because I wanted to play with my GeForce GTX 280.
