If you have pfix installed on your Main HDD. All you need to do is, Boot into the Installer on the 2nd partition of that drive, Open Terminal and type pfix

Select whichever drive using the # beside it.

Put password in and a few min later Done.

Thanks man… This saved me a lot of hassle.. Have an almost perfect SL install but am trying to get the USB working. Made the mistake of installing a carbus kext that I shuddanave and as a result couldn’t even boot in safe.

I have a DT43TF intel mobo and sound, ethernet and usb have been giving me trouble oon an iAtkos install,,, got ethernet, have sound but HDA contriller in pref pane does nothing! I have found that installing the usb driver only from the i>AThos 10.5.7 install has worrked for me previously but really am not sere what is the best kext for my card as I have tried 6 or y others and all have given me KPs,,,

Thanks for the great resource! I first tried with iBoot, but I got black screen. I tried with MyHack, and it worked even updating to 10.6.5!
I’m totally new to the Mac, and I’d like to learn more advanced stuff like how to add Kexts/dsdt/efi string. Can you point to some right tutorial for newbies? I’d love to see your guides on those topics!
Thanks,

Kilter, as I’ve mentioned before simply create a /System/Library/Extensions folder on the EFI volume to bypass the check for a ‘valid’ OSX install.

[...] you may require to the USB drive (add additional kexts, dsdt, etc). Note: Ensure that you have repaired permissions and generated a fresh Extensions.mkext if you have modified any kexts [...]

Thanks for your good work.

However, running pfix 3.1 on Mac Mini 3,1 – 10.6.4 leads to kernel panic (solved by booting without extensions and repairing again permissions with Maintenance).

Any idea??

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Pfix doesn’t like to work with EFI volumes. It reports that there isn’t a ‘valid’ OSX install. Which makes it difficult for users who are using a GUID Partition setup.

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.
