Hazard Hackintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.6i to 10.6.8 with an Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz. I've never gotten this to work on my system, maybe my system is not compatible because I've followed many guides and still never get it to update properly. But I must say that a lot of the guides are confusing.

System Specs:

Amd Phenom II x965 black edition 3.4ghz

Gigabyte Gtx 470 1280mb card

Asus M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790x Atx Amd
4 gigs ddr3 ram


Other information about how I installed 10.6.6i on my computer. 10.6.6i has worked pretty flawlessly the past months with the exception that it takes like a minute to pass the apple logo screen each time I start up my mac side(not a big deal, I'm assuming its because I'm on Amd that or maybe I am installing my Snow Leopard Operating system wrong? Sometimes, I get a kernel error when its at the apple logo(rarely) but when I reset computer it goes away. I usually never get that Kernel Error but I'm assuming its probably linked to me using Amd.


This is how I installed my Hackintosh Snow leopard 10.6.6i on my computer. I had to use ModCd to get Hazard Hackintosh to even work on my computer. Then I had to swap discs press the F5 button so it could read Hazard Hackintosh 10.6.6i disc. Then I typed in the boot command -v -x -f cpus=1 busration=20 arch=i386 (I do 32 bit Mac because for whatever reason if I do arch=x86_64 it won't even recognize it and will still just automatically install the 32 bit version of Mac).

After that happens a black page comes up loading all types of kexts and then I finally can get to the installation side of the Mac where I can set my hard-drive up. I click Legacy Kernel, Chameleon RC5 and RC4 both work on my computer, ElliotForceLegacyRtC, and I think I install a couple other things like x11 or whatever that is.

That is how I install Hazard Hackintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.6i on my computer. But I never got 10.6.8 update to work even when I installed the amd kernel ment for 10.6.8 before I did the update.



Thanks for your help guys, If you need any other information feel free to ask. Also, sorry if I have a lot of grammar mistakes. I'm not a very good typer.





One thing I do notice on my Hazard Hackintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.6i is that when I play flash content on youtube I sometimes get v-sync problems and get a little bit of screen tearing. I don't know if thats linked to the nvidia drivers I have installed or what, or maybe this would fix up if I was some how able to get 10.6.8 update to work? It doesn't do it on .avi, .wmv, or files played on VLC Media player. It will how ever do screen tearing on Mac video games if I install Mac video games but I usually do most gaming on my Windows 7 side.






Here's a picture of my Hazard Hackintosh, tho it has inaccurate information. It reads my ddr3 ram as ddr2 and it reads it slower for whatever reason that is. It also reads my Amd Phenom at slower speed, it says 3ghz instead of 3.4ghz...

If you are able to run 10.6.6, you should be able to run 10.6.8.

There is a specific thread on how to update to 10.6.8 in leohazard.

I followed that instruction and have no issue.

Basically you just don't reboot after installing update.
you must change the kernel, sleepenabler, change IOPCIfamily and AppleACPIplatform to 10.6.7 version and reboot.

Where do I get the correct download files for Kernel, Sleepenabler, and IOPCIfamily and AppleACPIplatform? I don't know, something makes me feel like I did this before and it still didn't load Mac after I updated... Hmmm... I hope I'm wrong...

Edit: Do I repair Permissions in Disk Utility after doing this or no that doesn't matter or could repairing Permissions mess with it?

I didn't have to do it.
I suggest you follow the instruction on LeoHazard and update to 10.6.7 first.

It froze again, this time at the chameleon screen.

Are you not using latest chameleon?

I'm using Chameleon 5, is that latest one? It's the latest version on 10.6.6i Hazard's Hackintosh. Don't know if there's a newer version.
