This is the situation so far: Resolution works at 1280x1024x32 VGA is recognized as Radeon 3800 series, but with no QE or CI Ethernet works Restart and shutdown work No sound Patched binaries with Marvins patcher 85/87 were succesfully patched I/m able to boot 64bit mode using -force64 boot flag. Next steps are transfering my apps and stuff from 10.5.5 via Migration assistant, then I will try to get QE and CI, then sound, and test it for stability with some hard core usage. If its all gonna work and gonna be stable, I will use it as my primary system GA MA-790X UD4P, AMD Phenom II X2 550 8 Gb DDR2 667 RAM, ATI HD 3850 WD 640 Gb, Seagate 320 GB Win XP 64bit & OSX 10.5.5 |

Good to hear how far you've gotten. You say that resolution works, but does that mean that you can change it in display preferences, or do you have to manually enter it in Boot.plist? Also, since nobody has any hd 2000/3000 cards working with QE/CI, I wouldn't expect it to work for you. If you want to use it as a primary system, I recommend getting a 4000 series card and sell the 3850. If you plan on also using Leopard, I believe you will need a 4800 series card.
You might want to re-run marvin's utility once you've migrated your files as the kernel you used in 10.5.5 probably included the on-the-fly patcher.

I was thinking about getting a newer card, but I was thinking about radeon 5000 series, but tthey will probably not work in SL for a few more months. One more question. I would like to change the boot file on my 10.5.5 disk so I can boot both 10.5 and 10.6 from that disk, but will it hurt booting my 10.5.5?

Hey all,
I am having an issue I hope you can assist me with. I followed the instructions and installed Snow Leopard on to an external USB drive (old 80gb IDE HDD inside). The install went fine, within an hour I was successfully booted into Snow Leopard on my PC. Everything worked so well in fact I decided to do the same install on an internal SATA drive. I cleared out one storage hard drive and followed the instructions again. Originally I was getting a black screen, the error was either SMC related, or "Device in Slot 1" related. Today I happen to have my USB headset plugged in, and when I booted up to test - I heard the welcome music (the music the first time you turn on OSX and go to the registration page) coming through my speakers, but again no video other then the black screen in -v mode. (I also tried -pci0/-pci1 and -x -- none were sucessful). Anyways, I took out my Video Card ( I have a Sapphire 4870 1GB card ) and switched to onboard video in BIOS. The system booted up fine with no flags. I entered the system with no issues at all and it is working fine as we speak. I turned off the computer and put the 4870 in again and tried to boot, but it went right back to the black screen. What confuses me is I had to do absolutely nothing reguarding my Video Card when installing to the external USB drive, but for some reason, while installing to my internal SATA drive, my video card will not operate correctly. (Note: during one of my many tests I copied over the boot file, kernel, /Extras/ folder to my internal sata drive from my working external drive install (i rebuilt the mkext file and changed the UUIDs to the internal.. but that did not work either.)). Any suggestions on what I can try to do to be able to use my 4870? Summary: -- Can boot into OSX with internal graphics. -- Black screen when attempting to boot with Radeon 4870. -- External USB drive works fine WITH the 4870 in. Mobo and GPU: Motherboard: Gigabit MA-790GP-UD4H VC: Sapphire 4870 1GB Processor: Phenom II x4 920 (4x 3.0GHz) Thanks very much! |

I finally upgraded my AMD box to SL. Everything appears to be working except About This Mac; it's crashing, logging out and logging back in like it would back on 10.5.2...I can't seem to find a fix for this on SL (tried the old patches, nothing). Anyone heard of this or have a fix for it? Thanks!
EDIT: JK, finding a bunch of issues with volume slider and such. Either way, I haven't found anything regarding the About This Mac crash Last edited by biird; 12-19-2009 at 09:56 AM. |

I tried everything but I cant get this to work... please help
Hi guys. So Ive been at this all day and I still cant get it working. I got it installed but my computer just turns off after a while before booting into snow leopard.
I have tried multiple different options and used all of -v busratio=20 cpus=1, -v arch=i386 and cpus =1 -v. No matter what I do my computer shuts off by itself. Before it shuts off I get kernel panic saying "CPu halted" and "can't get kextd port" and lastly "poweroff still waiting on appleusbeechi". I have been trying to match the iPC install I used for leopard. To install that and get full funtionality all I had to do was install: - voodoo kernel(which i obviously know i cant use for snow leopard); - appleNForceATA. - ALC88ad2 -AppleSMBios-AnV-MacPro I only had to install these and i got everything working. I have a hp 8530f which includes: -Motherboard: ASUS M2N78-LA -Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 8200 (MCP78PV) -Graphics GeForce 9300 GS (256 MB) 256 MB GDDR2 memory I/O Ports: HDMI and DVI (and VGA using included DVI-to-VGA adapter) - I used OSX86 to insert a graphics string to get video card working in iPC. Anyways any help or advice would be wickedly... out of this world... awesomely... appreciated! Thanks! |

K guys I got it booted via maxmem=4096 but still have a few problems plz help.
1) The only way i can get to the bootloader is by selecting boot device via the bios and then booting to harddrive. If i just let the computer do its thing the screen goes blank and it does not change even if i turn the computer on and off. The only way i can get it to boot back to the bios is by turning the power supply off for 10 seconds and then on. 2) How do i integrate maxmem=4096 into the bootloader so i dont have to type it in everytime. 3)Half the time i boot into sl none of the applications work... the other half only safari and itunes dont work. 4) it only shows one core working.. i used AppleSMBios-AnV-MacPro to get all the cores show on ipc but it does not work with sl. Anyway i can get it to work? After a week of trying i finally got some kind of SL booted but please help me get these issues sorted and make the the happiest hackintosh SL user on the planet. thanks in advance! |

I think I understand now what's happening to my Nvidia 7300GT on SL. QE/CI apparently works, but the problem is OpenCL which (according to Nvidia) is not OpenCL compatible.
Could this be the cause why my SL is so sluggish? Please somebody answer.

Hello to everyone! I am glad to be here!
I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.6 to an AMD PC. My motherboard is the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe. While the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD is loading (with the help of the latest Empire EFI boot cd), i am getting a message that there is no DSDT found and i am getting a kernel panic. What i must do?
