lcsmdna Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hmm, I did this and I got the exact same kernel panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2013 Silly me, it wasn't due a kext in /E/E (EDP system build's default settings do not use VoodooHDA audio kext), I forgot that ModCD puts some kexts directly in /S/L/E. In this particular case, it's VoodooHDA v2.7.2 which appears incompatible with 10.6.8 (later versions are Ok though). Anyway, I've reproduced your issue and here's how you can fix things: boot with -x flag once on the Mac OS X desktop, browse to /System/Library/Extensions folder and delete the VoodooHDA kext that ModCD placed in there reboot and you should be Ok This is the reason why we always advocate to use myHack as installation tool: myHack uses kexts placed in /Extra/Extensions, bumps up their version and copies them to a PlugIns folder of myHack.kext in /S/L/E for subsequent loading at boot time and integration in kext cache . The great advantage of this method is that it leaves /S/L/E completely Vanilla and that any additional or replacement kext must be placed in /E/E to be taken into account. To enjoy a cleaner installation, you could now make your myHack installer USB key and re-install SL from scratch. We'll then see at how you can optimize your SL installation a bit further. NB: I've updated my previous guidance posts to reflect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcsmdna Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 So I booted fine into desktop with -x. But there is no "VoodooHDA.kext" in Extra/Extensions . I rebooted normally just to make sure, and it still gives the exact same kernel panic, mentioning VoodooHDA.kext. However there is VoodooBattery, VoodooTSCSync and VoodooPState (which I assume has nothing to do with the problem but letting you know anyway).Also under "/" volume, there are the folders: backup, Backup Extensions, Extra.backup.24-08-13.00-09 and ExtraBackups.Maybe these aren't supposed to be there? Again I have no idea, but the kernel panic definitely still says "VoodooHDA" and the "dependency: com.apple" stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2013 check in /System/Library/Extensions for voodoohda. and /Library/Extensions if you find it then run a my fix to rebuild cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2013 So I booted fine into desktop with -x. But there is no "VoodooHDA.kext" in Extra/Extensions . Not in /Extra/Extensions, in /System/Library/Extensions as indicated above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcsmdna Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ah, my bad. Looked at the wrong post I think.Ok I found it and deleted it, I then did a myFix like Bronxteck indicated. I am very pleased to say that my d630 booted into Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with no more issues .Thank you both for being so dedicated and helping me out. Cheers!

lcsmdna Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Spoke too soon... the sound does not work even after all that. Flash videos have no sound, and iTunes will not start any songs.How can I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You have no sound because you have no audio kext (driver). You will need to install a compatible kext. Check the D630 section and find whats working for others and add that, my MyFix and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcsmdna Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Not to sound completely helpless but could you direct me to where I can find a kext sound driver for d630 snow leopard? And also the process to get this kext installed? I don't want to carelessly install something and ruin what I've spent so much time trying to get to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 25, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2013 The EDP System Build includes all that. The default settings for the D630 Intel LoRes 1280x800 does include the patched AppleHDA kexts. You would see those in /E/E (AppleHDA + FakeSTAC9205 + IOaudioFamily + OSvKernDSPLib). Personally, I prefer to modify that choice in EDP and opt for VoodooHDA#3. It uses less kexts and then the audio icon in the menu bar is fully functional (you see the level go up and down - something not happening with AppleHDA/STAC9205).
