RETIRED

Done
I've added u
any opinions?

It looks like you should try burning the DVD again but at the slowest speed.

All working

I've already burned on a good media at the lowest speed (8x) as I remember or the lowest available
I'm getting frustrated

on the install: maybe your iso is bad, get a different distro
perhaps put it onto a usb stick as apposed to a dvd, and boot from that
- or do the best install method: and use the retail dvd and adjust kexts/kernel/bootloader as needed. $29 and you can rule out any dvd burning issues completely.

looking into the distro you downloaded, you may be able to take hints from what is in there and get updated versions of individual components online, in addition to following one of the many guides on this and other forums

and as an amd user myself, getting a leopard 10.5.7 distro and installing it before snow leopard was extreemly helpful for learning what everything was, using that install as a foundation to install 10.6 from. 10.5 has been out alot longer then 10.6, and for most rigs - every conceivable issue has been fixed and explanations posted in forums by multiple people. with 10.6 there is less of a pool of resources.. atm

(iatkos v7 or ideneb, can't remember which finally worked)

something to chew on regarding your graphics card, it may not work with hardware acceleration out of the box.. or ever. maybe that iso has an option for it once you get it to boot. you can of course install OS X without any graphics acceleration, tho it will not lead to the final experience you are seeking. i say this because for your graphics card, I found some posts saying "Unfortunately, there is no driver in existence for the HD 3200" and your card is very close in the series. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/ati-raedon-mobile-hd-3200-t3600/. I did see a working kext(driver) for the 34xx series, which is slightly higher of a revision of your card. this website has information and downloads for other ati cards, i was just glancing but maybe there is something for your card specifically out there that you might find in a more refined google search http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=107526


00010, would you consider if it might be helpful to respond to people in an open forum, so others can follow along? this is the biggest reason i read the forums, to see the advice people give to others. you could mention the ability to donate and the link for it in your signature

thank you for your attempt to help me
although I find many expressions vague for me and cannot how to do that
I did first post this issue at a forum named hazard forum (the one who created the distro) but did not got any support
I wish to find how to do
- (get updated versions of individual components online,)
I got a distro which says it is as installing to AMD no need for AMD boot disk, adding more HW dirvers, or making snow leopard drive
all that I did not full tutorial for noobs
all are assuming that the target person knows how to install previous versions of mac osx, but no I'm not

I'm getting frustrated, also I want to ask
I heard a rumor that apple will provide an osx version to be installed directly to PC, is that true and when?

I tried the distro on a laptop and worked smoothly the installation
converted the a drive then success installed leopard
but after reboot I got the message
MBR error 1
then MBR error 2
!!!
what is that?
