kautmo: If you don’t already know the answer to that question I suggest you just wait for the next iteration of myHack installer which will be released sometime in the next week.

realbabilu: No, actually I tried this the other day and realized I need to update the pfix code to allow it to function correctly when run from a read-only disk. I will include this in the next release of pfix.

danny: The next version of myHack will be updated to support 10.6.2. It would have been done sooner but I have been unable to work on the project in the last month due to travel and hard disc failure.

I have managed to resolve the “cannot locate chocolate_kernel” issue by manually copying the kernel to the destination drive :)

My next question is – will i be able to install the 10.6.2 combo update without using any hacks?

Thanks so much for the installer!

I have used myHack Installer 1.0 RC4.1 to prepare my usb install drive. The entire SL installation was smooth on my Intel Core i5 / MSI P55-CD53 / Nvidia GeForce 7300GT system, except at the end where I got the installation failed message.

Following your instructions, I rebooted my computer to the USB drive. At the boot rpompt, I selected the SATA drive where S/L was installed and hit the Enter key. The following message showed up: “Can’t find chocolate_kernel”.

That’s it. I am stuck at this stage and could not get S/L to load… Hope you can enlighten me on the path ahead :p

Regards
Dan

Dinesh: As it said in the post installation section (section 5) of my guide there is further fine-tuning that is required to get everything working. myHack Installer was designed to get you a ‘functional’ foundation quickly and easily on most hardware but there are a number of adjustments and ‘tweaks’ needed for each individual system – so many combination of hardware make it impossible to automate these adjustments effectively. You should start by patching your dsdt (search for fassl’s patcher on google or see the IRC channel I listed on the home page, it will generate a dsdt file for you to work with that you will then have to manually adjust further as needed). For sound you will have to search for your audio chipset/codec and use a dsdt patch/kext or something like voodooHDA to get work if supported by any of those methods. Wifi has been and continues to be an issue, same with ATI as I have stated numerous times on this website.

Anyway good luck to you, as I said in the preface there is no ‘one click’ installation method unless you have hardware that is 100% supported OOB (like a real mac…). Hop on IRC, search around on google and various forums and be persistent and you will succeed :)

PS: Please post questions like these on the myHack Installer release page in the future, this isn’t really relevant to the pfix utility. Thanks.
