using ur current sl to install on another hd....+ combo update to 10.6.7.
then install bootloader on it , copy ur dsdt and smbios to Extra folder and those hac kernel like fakeSMC , nullcpupowermanagement and other ur mobo kext driver ..and repair EXtension.mkext on extra folder..
ur i3 proc need hack kernel ...need to replace it on root .....boot it with -v -f -x

for DSDT i hope u can create ur own 1...and upload it on here ..i will help u to mod it for support sata fix orange icon , restart, sleep(no sure can work with hack kernel), hdef, s5 shut down , and usb fix

Hi Wiraone. im successfully on Hackintosh 10.6.7.
Can u guide me how to make this harddisk to external hard disk backup?
i want to use it if my hackintosh crash. any software that can copy all the drive to another drive?

Yes, you can download a carbon copy cloner, it is a free software. What you can do is to have a hfs+ partition in your external drive, you don't need the exact same space, just enough to have everything in there.. 10GB should be more than enough .. and use CCC to copy the system partition to the new drive.

You can then test this out by either 1) boot directly from the USB/external drive by specifying in the BIOS or 2) during boot, just hit any keys, I believe it will list out all drives that have OS in there and will let you choose which one to boot.

Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply wiraone.
I will try this method to make backup.

i will try after i finish my study..this is my final year in the Uni..so got plenty of time after this..hehe:)

Anybody else on Sandy Bridge? I'm trying to use DSDT but it just doesn't want to work for me. I found an .AML for my motherboard (GA P67A-UD3-B3 BIOS F2). What the easiest to make the bootloader to use the DSDT file? Do I just shove it into the /Extra folder? I tried this and it doesn't work, so I tried using MultiBeast, the AML in my desktop .. it seems to 'work' (I mean the bootloader probably use it), but I get a black screen instead.

Configuration that I have: GA P67A-UD3-B3-F2 Bios, i5 2400, 4GB RAM, 1TB HD, GT430 graphics card. I'm trying to get either the sleep or hibernate to work and best to have the power button calling the shutdown window when it is pressed.. but this doesn't work either

Sandy Bridge. amd proc ,intel atom proc hv to use legacy kernel (mean no the orig mac vanilla kernel) ...sleep is will no work
i think sandy bridge user hv to wait for some more time ...hope apple will release update(maybe lion) which kernel can support it ..like b4 i7 and i5 proc

Well, I've no idea what do you mean by legacy kernel. I've updated mine to 10.6.7 and the kernel shown by uname is 10.7.3 after I run the BridgeHelper. My boot.plist has the mach_kernel string in it. Someone has it working on his setup, but I just couldn't get mine to work.

Attached is the DSDT.aml generated by DSDT Patcher. And I've attached the .dsl generated by DSDTSE too.

Added on April 9, 2011, 9:03 amBTW, is my graphics card setup depends on the DSDT file too? Currently I need to add a hex string into my boot.plist to get it recognised or otherwise it will boot at lower resolution.

DTDS no hv device UHCI ...make me blur a bit ur mobo DSDT EHC1 and EHC2 using adress UHC1 and UHC2...maybe this reason ur pc wont go to sleep
If u can mind to create ur own DSDT.. ...using DSDT_Patcher by fassl --> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=133683
or if got backup system ....u can try boot ur rig without DSDT.aml (is beter to create like this) then create it with DSDTSE or DSDT_Patcher but u need to add some kext or E/E or S/L/E
FakeSMC , NullCPUPowerManagement and EllionForceLeagcyRTC (will kp with some mobo )

then upload the DSDT for me and also IORegsitryExplorer files too

what is ur GC model and what bootloader u using ?

The pc that I use to generate the aml/dsl wasn't booted with DSDT, veriied this using demsg and all the required kexts in E/E are there except the EllionForce (may I know what this kext for?).

I'm using Nvidia GT430 and it has 1GB, bootloader is Chameleon 2.0rc5 with Sandy Bridge support.

Added on April 9, 2011, 10:39 amOh btw, the dsl file is unpatched from dsdtse. I really need read back all the info about this dsdt file. I will take a look at the patcher that you mentioned. The pc is now at my dughter's room.. Told her that never ever to put the thing on sleep

This post has been edited by wiraone: Apr 9 2011, 10:39 AM

EllionForceLegacyRTC is for dont let ur rig CMOS(bios) get reset when restart if booting without DSDT

how come no hv any UHCI/USB ...my x58 mobo got 8 and my old ep45 mobo got 6

I'll try to compare the dsl found on the net and one that is generated from my mobo and see if they're the same.

@wiraone
u should read this guide --> http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=16323
sleep mode need to add some flag on com.bootplist in extra folder
bout DSDT usb/UHCI is no need on ur mobo coz EHCI edy hv Device RHUB

Yup, followed his guide, there few other guys who can't get the sleep to work. Probably due to the kernel used? If you checked toward the end of that thread, you'll see some of my posts too

@wiraone
i try to mod ur DSDT (GA-P67A-UD3-B3-F2-dsdt) by myself ..no using any autopatcher or wat else...all do it in manually ..
maybe tomolo i can upload for u

Digswell, thanks.. BTW, there is something wrong with my extracted dsl file, you can see the diff in the tonymac thread. I believe that probably the main reason mine goes to black/blank screen when I specified the DSDT file.

Added on April 9, 2011, 4:25 pmDigswell, here is my IORegistry file. It seems that the DSDT.aml generated by autopatcher has the wrong base address, the IORegistry file seems to be pointing to the correct address 0xf0000000 while the one in .aml generated by either autopatcher or the one generated when I run ubuntu is pointing to 0xf4000000.
