Asus A8js 10.6.8

1. Nawcom Legacy Kernel 10.8.0v2

 Do not install SleepEnabler and Apple HDA if you want to update to 10.6.8


have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.0 with the 10.6.1-10.6.2 Hazard distro, I chose the 10.2.0 Legacy Kernel, AtherosFix, IOATAFamily Fix, AppleIntelPIIXATA Fix and the AMD Patch. Then I installed the Combo Update 10.6.1-10.6.8, replaced the Legacy Kernel 10.2.0 with the Nawcom Legacy Kernel 10.8.0v2 and restart. And all works great, no Kernelpanics or other issues.


Update to 10.6.8 with Combo updater from [10], at the end, don't press restart,

• install legacy_kernel-10.8.0.v2.pkg from http://blog.nawcom.com/legacy_kernel-10.6.8.v2.pkg.zip (more info about this kernel: [11])
• to prevent "PCI Configuration Begin" error, install kexts from here [12] with kext wizard from here [13].

After install all update, delete AppleACPIPlatform.kext before reinstall it from SnowLeo installer pendrive with ACPIThermal package. Open the pendrive in Finder, click "Go" menu "Go to folder…" item, write "System", browse and install the package System/Installation/Packages/notebook/ACPIThermal.pkg
