I am trying to load Snow Leopard on my PC using Empire EFI
I get the EFI screen showing the HDD's, insert OSx disk in drive and press F5 to continue, but nothing happens. Initially I get icons representing the EFI CD, and my HDD's with W7 and Vista on it but not the blank drive. Then when I insert the OSx DVD and press F5, after about 2 minutes I get Icons for all the HDD's inc the blank drive but I cannot select the blank drive and the CD icon has disappeared! any ideas?

Legacy EFI | Sudden Reboot
My hardware would be:
* Mainboard | MSI MS-7204 Ver: 1.A * CPU | Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHz * RAM | 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM * GPU | Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT 512 MB So, at first I tried the regular V1.08 and I got the sweet "Memory allocation error". Then I thought, why not try the Legacy Version for once. And, in fact: The boot menue came up successfully and I changed the disk in the drive. Fenomenal, even that one was regocnized. With full motivation I chose the disk on the screen ... and then ... well ... BAAAAM! ... the PC just simply rebooted. A very warm welcome to Windows XP. Woohooo. Well, that wasn't quite what I expected... I hope at least someone of you got an idea, how I'd get on. Greetings, Dan

Ok I have progressed a little further... it is all in the timing!!
You MUST wait 10 -20 seconds before loading the SL disk after ejecting the Empire EFI disk. You MUST wait the 30 -60 seconds before hitting the F5 key after loading the SL disk. failure to do so caused system hangs requiring reboots Now I am getting the Mac OS to start loading then gets to a point where its says "still waiting for root device" I am now trying to tweak the bios to get things to progress... BTW my system specs are:-

Waiting for root device error only affects married HDD's...
 Make sure you have AHCI set in your bios... Pretty sure that resolved my "waiting for root device" error but cause BSOD with my Win installs.. had to "fix" that with a registry edit... post if you need details I now have a bootable SL OS but no sound, sleep lock ups, and basic VGA resolution... still working on it though.

Hello guys, first time poster here. So I attempted to install SL10.62 using EFI Empire 1.85RC2 and the x58-patched version 1.06. I've tabbed after detecting the disk, and added GraphicsEnabler=Y PciRoot=0 on the 1.85, and also tried -pci0 with the 1.06 x58-patched. However both disks gives me the same results. I also enabled AHCI.
At the end, I get an error message stating: "Patched DMI Table ACPI Table not Found: DSDT.aml Starting Darwin x86 Press any Key to Continue...." Upon pressing that I get to a screen..attached picture link... It would be great if you could help me! Thanks!

I got this -> NO DSDT found using 0 as id value efi_inject_get_devprop_string NULL trying stringdata Loaded HFS+ file [Extra/smbios.plist] 416 bytesfrom 42521fo Patched DMI table. NO DSDT replacement found. Leaving ACPI dara as is. Starting Darwin x86 Press en key to continue.... followed by an instant reboot !
