New kit available! (new dsdt, other changes)
click here to go to the download site for "
JaavrOS_1068_kit_013013.zip". Thanks and enjoy!
Note: The latest instructions have been moved to
Insanelymac, HERE. There are also instructions on OSXLatitude, but I've misplaced my forum password, and cannot reply to support questions there.
Instructions:
Copy to the root of your hard drive the 3 items: machkernel, boot, extra.
....in other words, drag those 3 items onto your hard drive icon.
Install "fixkext" (unzip and run installer).
thanks go out to nawcom for this utitlity
Open a Terminal window. Type "sudo fixkext" (without parentheses). Type password then return, (it will not respond while typing password).
Restart when prompted.
The purpose of the utility "fixkext", is to reset the Kext Cache. Any time you install or change any kexts, you should again run the utility "fixkext".
NOTE: Having a 2 GB RAM chip installed is required for this kit.
(Otherwise, power management might not work correctly. If you want to use 1 GB RAM you must edit the DSDT file).
If anyone is having issues with the sd card unmounting, add IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext to /extra/extensions/
It is available
here:
(Thanks to Francois for recommending it)
... run the terminal application "fixkext" after adding kext.
Some improvements:
This has updated bootloader, and some other files.
Newer fakesmc... CPU temp can now be monitored.
What works and don't. Please feel free give suggestions for any improvements.
Works:
Mostly everything just works. Including lid sleep, sound, wifi, ethernet, HD and CPU temperature monitoring, Power management, fan speeds.
Things that don't work:
Wake from sleep is problematic with USB drives mounted. Workaround: the application "Jettison". (the terminal program "sleepwatcher" has also been recommended for this purpose)
Sound is slightly muted after wake from sleep. Solution is to install the application Spark to set-up F-Keys for sound volume and mute.
Wifi works well with the built-in device, as long as you have the correct kext.
I swapped my wifi card for a Broadcom card and flashed it to be an Airport Extreme.
Please let me know if your wifi doesn't work with the stock wifi card. I can find you a different kext which might work.
