1. What's needed

• G41M_Files.zip (All the files im using are in there)
• G41M-ES2L Motherboard (Bios F4)
• Retail version of Snow Leopard
• A graphic card (Since the build-in doesnt work)
• 8GB USB (If you dont have any : Use a partition or your iPod something with 8gb on it)
• Running Mac Os X Machine (Could be another partition or a borrowed macbook)

2. Preparation USB 1)

Insert your Snow Leopard DVD into your DVD drive. An icon will popup at your desktop.

Now insert your 8GB Usb (Or ipod, sd card anything with 8gb on it) .
Go to Disk Utility and go to your USB stick. Click on erase (Use Mac Os X Journaled). Name it OSX86 (Optional)
Now, go to restore. Drag the Snow Leopard DVD icon (which is on your desktop) to the source. (Dont click on image)
Now drag your USB (OX86) to destination. Be sure to uncheck erase destination.

Now it should look like this:


Now click on restore!

This will take about 20 minutes (Depends on the speed of your usb)

2. Preparation USB 2)

Now go to your G41M_Files folder and find myHack. Run it! (Located: Tools)
Select to install it on the USB (Important!)
Just before hitting Install click on customize and select the following kexts:

• com.apple.Boot.plist
• GraphicsEnabler
• PS2Controller (Optional: Use only if you have PS/2 keyboard)
• FakeSMC.kext
• LegacyAppleRTC.kext
• NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
• OpenHaltRestart.kext
• PlatformUUID.kext

Now it should look like this:



Hit install!

Now you're almost ready to boot from your USB!

Now copy the folder G41M_Files to your USB (We need some files later!)

2. Preparing your HD

Go to Disk Utility and choose your HD you want to install Snow Leopard on. Open the partition tab and change it from "Current" to 1 Partition. Use the Mac OS X Journaled. Name it. Now click "Option" and select "GUID Partition Table" (Important!)

Click Apply!

Note: You can do this step while installing snow leopard. Just before you choose your HD go to utilities and choose Disk Utility. The process is the same.

2. Boot from USB

Click the power button and hit F12 to bring up the boot options. Choose USB FDD and hit enter.
You'll see the bootloader. Press any key and then choose the OSX86 USB.

If you're lucky you'll get to the "Select Language Screen". Install SL and reboot.

3. Configuring the installaion

Press F12 and choose Hardrive and then choose the USB. You'll see the bootloader (You can install in verbose mode with -v). You'll see a nice intro video. We have snow leopard installed! But wait, the video is laggy and we have no sound. We have to fix this!

When you configured your country and name etc. you'll finally see the desktop.

My Hack

Go to your USB and open up the G41M_Files folder. Go to Tools and run myHack. This time you should choose your HD instead of your USB to install. Customize your installation and choose:

• com.apple.Boot.plist
• GraphicsEnabler
• PS2Controller (Optional: Use only if you have PS/2 keyboard)
• FakeSMC.kext
• LegacyAppleRTC.kext
• NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
• OpenHaltRestart.kext
• PlatformUUID.kext
• Sleepenabler.kext

Hit install!

Audio

Open up G41M_Files/Audio and run AzaliaAudio.pkg. Install it on your HD.

Lan

To get your internet to work you have to install a kext. It's easier then it sounds.

Go to G41M_Files/Tools and double click the Kext Helper b7.zip. Open up Kext Helper b7.

Now go to G41M_Files/Lan double click RealtekR1000SL.kext.zip and then drag the RealtekR1000SL.kext to the Kext Helper b7. Enter your password and hit "Easy Install"

It should look like this:



Cross your fingers and reboot!

4. Finnishing up

There is a "Extra" folder in the G41M_Files folder. Open it up. Copy dsdt.aml.

Now go to Your HD/Extra. Paste dsdt.aml (If you wish you can do your own DSDT. Files are provided under "Make your own DSDT".

Do the same for com.apple.Boot.plist and SMBIOS.plist. If you're not happy what's in your "About this Mac Screen" change the SMBIOS.plist with TextMate (/Tools).

REBOOT AGAIN AND YOU ARE FINISHED!

HAVE FUN WITH SNOW LEOPARD
