Im yet to see a clear cut tutorial for a AMD install. so im really lost.

Im using iATKOS S3 v2.0 Snow Leopard10.6.7 if that helps.
When i customize i enabled qoopz 10.3 and evo enabler. Ive tried to install this before and got the same thing, so i tried enabling those two things to see if it would make a difference...but they didnt.

Ive tried booting with arch=i386 busratio=(15 and 16) -v
^ But it doesnt work unless i add -x for some reason, if i don't add -x i'll get stuck at "ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to to full-secure"

Ok so i googled, it said disable Firewire in BIOS, i did that, no dice.

My BIOS settings that i change (was told to)
onchip sata type = AHCI
onchip sata port 4/5 type = as SATA type
onboard GSata/IDE=AHCI
onboard ESata mode =AHCI



Any help would be appreciated, id really like to have this working

If I boot my leopard laptop in verbose, I get that error. What is actually stopping you is your graphics. You need to work on those. That's the last thing to load.

work on it how? detail my man details

I'm not sure. I just think your gfx aren't loading. Whether you need to enable graphicsenabler, or if you need to use a injection string, or a kext, I can't say. google "(video card) snow leopard hackintosh" and see what they did to get it working.

thanks for the suggestions, i'll try this out tonight check back im sure i'll mess something up along the way and need you lmao

Im gettinga DOS screen ive never seen before.

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC5pre11AnVAL2 r171:172
VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)
hd(0,1) OSX


If i select the HDD and press enter, it just reboots.

i tried -x and -v got a reboot as well

Tried again with a diff boot loader selected, got the same thing, just reboots over and over.

Use the latest chameleon you can find. it boots fine.

Some type of progress atleast, but still a huge problem i guess.

When i boot, i get this screen

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC5pre12 r115
Build date 2010-2-24
4092MB memory
VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)
hd(0,1) MAC

If i hit enter it just reboots.




If i put arch=i386 busratio -x -v or without the -x i can boot.

But, why do i have to put that in just to boot?

And i checked the wireless option to be installed. but the wifi isnt working? i miss something?
And my graphics isnt maxed its stuck at 1024x768

Good to see the desktop atleast lol

Ok EDIT: Another problem, i had both , well it was default, the audio options were checked during custom screen, but when i try and play a file with itunes i get no sound, and the speed seems to be stuck on fast forward if i try and play something.

Thanks in advance for help

You may not have a compatible wifi card. What is it? GFX, what is the card? And for music, do you get some sound? What is the model of the audio?

And then for the boot flags, (thats the -v arch=i386 busratio -x)
heres what everything means:
-v is verbose mode. you can leave this off, and instead of it having the scrolling words, it'll boot with just the apple. but you want to use this until at least you have everything worked out.
arch=i386 is what you need to boot with. this boots into 32-bit mode. to stop from having to type this in everytime you boot up, go to the root of your hard drive, and then go to /Library/Preferences/SystemCongfiguration then click com.boot.apple.plist and add this:

If there is already a kernel flag key, then add the second one. Then you should be good without typing that.

And busratio shouldn't affect it, because you have to specify a number, so I have no clue what the effect is with no number.

let me know.

EDIT: Oh and -x is safe mode. Don't use it unless you have to.
