I have after weeks of hard struggling finally managed to get a "ok" hackintosh. Still have some problems that I hope to get help with from the forum members. This is my specs:

Samsung R780 64bit
Motherboard Intel HM55
Intel® Core™ i5 430
4 GB (DDR3 / 2 GB x 2)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M with 1GB gDDR3
Soundcard ALC 889
Ethernetcard Marvell Yukon 88E8059
Wifi Atheros AR9285
500 GB (5,400 rpm S - ATA)
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR*
Webcam VIMICRO SCB 1900n

I used iboot supported to install, and a orginal 10.6.3 Snow Leopard disk. The installation went fine and when the computer started the first time did I have bluetooth, webcam, graphic (showing up as unknown Nvidia card), touchpad, Keyboard and sound (microphone didnt work) working. But after upgrading from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 and used multibeast did I lose the sound & the keyboard. I later also notice that after several struggles to get the sound and other things to work did I start to get the "Hibernate image is too old XXXXXX seconds use forcewake=y" in the startup.

The wifi AR9285 did I managed to get 100% working with this kext. Took me ages to find this one. (Airport and everything else works excellent in x64) See attached file. or download from here http://www.kexts.com/view/462-atheros_ar9285.html

My problems is that the Marvell Yukon 88E8059 dont work, and Im still trying to find a working kext. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ONE.

The ALC889 is still not working as it should, I tried the VodooHDA and it will give me working sound, but still no support for microphone so if anyone has a working kext for that problem please tell me!

The Samsung R780 is a great machine to make a Hackintosh with, and I can really recommend it. Just with some extra KEXT will this be a perfect machine!

Hope some other people has some tips to get my machine working better.

For example do I try to get the inbuilt multi touchpad (Synaptics) to go from basic to advanced, so I will be able to write chinese characters on the touchpad and so on.

I only spent 1 month as a TOTAL beginner trying to fix my Hackintosh, and Im sure with just 1-2 extra months will I have everything working.

Thanks Tonymac and all others for the great help and tips.

Best regards Bumbi

hey i got the sound working on my samsung r580 using the kext's in multibeast.

did you get the brightness able to be adjusted?

Sorry, im still not able to adjust the Brightness (its always 100%) Samsung R780/580/480 all have special drivers for the brightness control. So im not sure how to fix it. Glad to hear that you got the sound working, but did you get the microphone to work?

Good luck with your Samsung!

Awesome dude. I got the Samsung R580. I've been having troubles on installing the AR9285. How did you do it? By the way, I think no one's working on the Ethernet.

This is the way to install the AR9285 Kext:

1.Open the Kext Helper (You can install Kext helper using Multibeast).
2.Drag the kext file into the kext helper.
3.Write your password
4.Press easy install
5.Restart computer
6.Enjoy a fully working AR9285 Wifi

And the ethernet card is still a no go, the same with sound and microphone input for the alc889 soundcard (im able to get the sound working with VodooHDA, but the mic is a no go). But im still working on it, would be great if someone could make a dsdt for Intel HM55.

Good luck with the WIFI

Perhaps adding the reference 88E8059 in the info.plist file of the plugin yukon located inside the kept IONetworkingFamily.kext ?

Hey there bumbi! Got my WIFI working now. Thanks! Hmm, yeah, about the audio stuff, my speakers work but the mic doesn't. I've tried using the latest VoodooHDA. Problem is, you can't control the mic. I'm gonna search the net for dsdt's and kexts. Good luck to us. Btw, we should keep this tread alive so that we can help fellow Samsung(-ians).

jhayzt nice to hear that you got the Wifi working , and Cyberdog thanks for the tips, but after hours of "fiddling" with the kext am I only able to get the ethernet card reqognized but the downside is that it still dont work anyway, I wíll keep on trying. And thanks for the tips.

thank everybody
it work for me
