Here is a small utility I created to compare the MD5 hashes of files. If anybody finds it useful then I may do some more work on it.

I am away for a while, those who know me will know why…

I haven’t had any time to post at all lately but I have just followed this guide and it worked fine on my M7720

I have yet to update my hacks to Lion (updated my mini) due to work commitments but from around the 5th August I will be free to finally get started. I will try and post a decent guide for a way to update the M7720 to Lion as soon as possible as this is still my main machine (with the nvidia card). I cant wait to get some time off!!!!

Here is the legacy 10.6.8 kernel, update in the usual manner!

When I ran out of space on my paid account with another provider, I decided to find another free option to boost my cloud storage. Enter SugarSync, its proved to be every bit as fast, reliable and customisable and 5GB for free should be enough for most who want to backup their photographs or word documents!

Whilst playing with my Wii today I noticed something odd. A hard-coded April Fool joke in Configurable USB Loader! I love this one as it was so unexpected!

Here is the 10.6.7 Legacy Kernel and also SleepEnabler.kext for 10.6.7

Warning – YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA! DO NOT DO THIS ON A HACKINTOSH. THIS POST REFERS TO A REAL MAC!

I recently installed OS X Lion developer preview on my Mac Mini and once I had played around a bit decided to revert / downgrade the installation to Snow Leopard again. I had been reading about people having problems with their Snow Leopard DVDs not booting to the installer after Lion was installed but I hadn’t paid too much attention. Then it happened to me!

I solved the problem as follows, I hope it might help others out in the same situation:

1)  Boot into OS X Lion

2)  Insert your OS X Snow Leopard DVD

3)  Applications / System Preferences / Startup Disk

4)  Click your Snow Leopard DVD in the list and click Restart. Your Mac will now reboot fully to the installer, erase the partition and install!

There is little information as to why this might happen, its mainly just speculation that having Lion on the hard drive simply doesn’t allow the installer to fully boot, often hanging at the apple logo. This doesn’t really make sense when you follow my steps and it works.
