Hello again, dunno if this is the place to post this particular question that is buggin me for over one week now. (if not, sorry admins)
during the last week, i got myself a quiet fully working installation on a amilo laptop (98% working) with help (of course) of the know-how of you people here, and of course the amazing software found here (multibeast, iBoot etc.). big thank u shout to all of you. glad to be part of this community.
to get to the point.
after finishing and customizing the installation, my MacOSX project was just perfect, except some hardware related stuff (mic and Cam not working) i did a backup on image (dmg) with ccc (life saving software btw) took about 2 hours to complete.
so i wanted to get the final step, to make either the mic or the cam or both to work. after searching the net, i found some kexts, that supposed to work with my MoBo chipset, and acording to some users, sound, mic worked fine without any dsdt injection (or something like that).
result was, i was not able to get the system up and running again, either with rBoot or some other way. i even got to the point to get into installation, open terminal, and from there to restore the folder EXTRA and SYSTEM back to my installed system. Nothing worked. To get the system back again, i had to do the restore procedure through installer on a second hdd and get all my stuff (mail messages, music etc) from the ruined installation back. trust me, that's a situation where you have to have a lot of time to spend about 25-30 minutes to verify the dmg file from a external hdd, 1 hour to copy over all the backup and about 1 hour to verify files, permissions and anything else the disk utility does. all in all, about 4 hours and you got your system back and running.
so in order to be able, on a mistake (like the installation of a kext, that didnt work and gave an amazing KP) what would be an "easy way" to have a backup of all required files (not the whole installation) so a user will be able to have his system up and running in less than approx. 4 hours ?
i know, this whole hackintosh stuff, is under the 'use at your own risk and don't ask stupid questions' philosophy and for sure i can not ask Apple for help (even Leopard is legit), but to be honest, my system runs smoother than the installation i had before with windows 7 ultimate (yes yes, that is true), and until i have the money to buy me an decent MacBook Pro, im gonna work with my hackintosh.
so any help, walk-through or something else would really be appreciated, not only by me, but im sure for a lot of ppl like me (noops), that just love their hackintosh'es
thank you
