在一台自己装的PC上安装Snow Leopard

这里用的办法是和之前不同的。用的是Snow Leopard的零售版光盘。我刚好之前给MacBook买了一张。用了一个叫Chemeleon的东西做boot loader。比之前的安装稍微麻烦一点。但应该更加稳定可靠。而且可以用在线升级。基本上安装好了之后就和真的Mac一样的。

因为是在一个英文论坛上发的帖。也懒得用中文重写了，所以直接英文发了。语法错误是我的习惯了，所以别太挑剔了。另外，国内上Blogspot要翻墙。

Everything work fine except sleep/wake. I'll try to outline everything I've done.

P55-GD55 is actually identical as GD65, minus the FW400 port. I also use a XFX ATI 4850 512M video card, Intel i5 750 (no OC, TurboBoast on), Kingstone 2G DDR3 ram. And I put an old SB Live! Platinum from my old PC into this one. It's a EMU 10K1-based card. I also have a MacBook unibody, which is regularly backed up with Time Machine, so I can just restore everything from my MacBook to the Hackintosh. I also bought a retail Snow Leopard DVD.

1. Follow the CD-boot guide by tonymacx86. You can find it here: Tonymacx86's guide. I used the MSI version boot CD. So the DSDT is from GD65 (or so I think).

2. After the install, the 4850 didn't work. So I have to boot into safe-mode. I added the Device ID for my card (0x9442) into ATI4800Controller.kext in /System/Library/Extensions. Rebuild the caches, repaire the permissions, restart. And voila, it worked.

3. So everything are almost good now. But the audio was still down, and the SB Live! was not working. For the audio, I use a USB speaker instead (Logitech Z-5), so it's not really bothering me a lot. For the SB Live!, I downloaded the kX Mac driver from kX Project, and the SB Live! worked. Not 100%, because only the output worked, but it's good enough for me.

4. Then comes the most frustrating problem: The system clock ran too fast. And the USB speaker sounded weird. I tried many things, but none worked. Found the solutions just moments ago. Simply use the Chameleon 2.0 RC4. Replace the boot file with the new release, and reboot. All problems are gone now.

The only remaining problem is the sleep/wake. I removed the IOAHCIBLockStoragInjector.kext and NullCPUPowerManage.kext from /Extra/Extensions. Now it seems to really fall in sleep when I click "Sleep", but still can't wake up.

Now I'm booting without DSDT.aml in my root directory. Everything seems fine.

For Bluttooth: I use D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth adaptor to connect my Apple Wireless Keyboard. No problem at all.

Dual display: I connect a Dell and a Samsung LCD to the 4850, which has two DVI ports. Perfect. But DVI-VGA adaptor doesn't work.

Finally, kudos to Tonymacx86!
