I reformatted my hard-drive again ( to clear off all the snow-install files) and tried the installation again. Same thing. I attached an image of the install log. The errors start about 3/4 of the way down. I'm going to try boot with it anyway in a moment.

Hey, so oddly enough, I am able to boot into osx from my hard-drive through chameleon. It's strange that two identical 'OSX' drives appear but hey, it seems to work. I guess my next step is to test it it out and figure out what is and is not working properly. Thanks DJ for all of your help. Have a good night!

Alright, so I am now successfully booting into 10.6 without the help of my thumb drive. I am still unsure of how solid this install is as the previously mentioned errors in the install log are still a mystery as well as these errors when I run your script while in the osx installer:
" -I get a 'sh: clear: command not found' twice.. the original clear command is definitely in there.. And then there is : Enter 'help' for information fdisk: 1> Partition 2 marked active fdisk:*1> Writing current MBR to disk. Device could not be accessed exclusively The last line in particular doesn't seem right.. " I'm not getting any kernel panics or anything but I don't think my video card is being recognized properly and my sound fails to work. I downloaded EFI studio but there is no option for my 9800 GTX 512 MB. To fix my sound I tried using kext utility to install LegacyALC883.kext, which was provided in this thread for my particular board, but that didn't work either. My motherboard ( the GA-G31M-E2SL rev. 2) doesn't have a supported ethernet so I tried using my Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 wireless dongle but osx isn't recognizing it (the latest drivers are for 10.5.0?). I bought it because it was highly recommended on that leopard soup site that has been down for the past few weeks. Anyway.. I feel like I'm half way there. Just a few more things to sort out and I should be up and running. Thanks again for your help DJ.

good to hear...
i just woke up and i will get on to fixing the script now... so yeh being able to boot into a new snow installation without any panics or freezes is only half the battler... getting all ur other devices detected and working is the other half (which is sort of out of the scope of my script) anyways...
and have u tried installing osx via the installer and then running script rather than the other way around like i've suggested in my guide? that might resolve the installer error about not being able to start osx and ending prematurely...Enter 'help' for information the funny thing is... i didnt experience any of these problems when testing this on my system... but this is good... the script will get more stable this way and it will work for a lot more ppl in the future...

The system profiler reports a 'NVIDIA' device w\ 32 MB of VRAM so it doesn't seem to be detecting it correctly. I'll give the preset in osx86 tools a shot tomorrow but I don't know anything about creating custom EFI strings.
I get a 'System Extensionn can not be used' error if I try to move any of the .kexts from extra/extensions to system/library/extensions. Is this why the kext utility exists? What do those commands you provided do exactly? The 2nd time I installed Snow Leopard I did so without running your script and it still failed at the same spot. I recreated the partition as well to make sure that nothing was still lingering from the script on the drive.. Does this have anything to do with running the installer in 32-bit mode as opposed to 64-bit? I have to go to sleep. I'll continue troubleshooting in the morning.. Thanks!

aha... it is always safer to run everything in 32bit mode until you have a working install...
that might be the cause of the installer failing... and those commands for repairing permissions on the moved kexts and renewing boot caches so that they execute properly... just ignore the error msgs and run those commands or try kext utility.... ive only had mixed results with KU... thats why i take care of that myself with those commands... and good news... i think ive solved most of the problems we faced last night... ill upload v1.1 of the script soon... just doing some final testing... gnite and sweet dreams... u might be dreaming about leopards and snowflakes tonight :-) hehehe!!!

ok guys... ive updated the main post with v1.1 and revised the guide...
do re-read and retry if you had trouble using version 1... might pay to wipe everything you've done with v1.0 before trying v1.1... and of course report back with your experiences... good luck!!!

@teamka42
whats ur hardware config? mobo, graphic card, etc? try this when booting from your usb drive: interrupt chameleon by pressing any key when it shows up. then type the following: "GraphicsEnabler=No" without the quotes then select ur pendrive by using the left/right arrows and hit enter... see if you can boot into the installer with just basic graphics support... if the above is successful, that means chameleons auto graphics card detection didnt work for your card... and u would have to update the boot plist file with an EFI string for ur graphics card or use an injector to get full graphics... if the above didnt help, could we have a look at the messages that get displayed when it boots? u will have to take a photo of it and post here... good luck!!! 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
