SL OSInstall.mpkg method results in permissions troubles?
I installed SnowLeo from Leopard using OSInstall.mpkg method just fine but I'm unsure if the installation is right.
The installation completed successfully but: - I got a few errors in the installation log, about not being able to run some chrooted commands, not sure if those are expected or important. - Extensions.mkext never gets created when booting even after many -f reboots. - It seems I got no package or permissions database because I cant fix them using Disk Utility?. Anyone experienced this? The partition was erase before installation and its "Owner's enabled" before installing SL and permissions seem to be right (i.e. /S/L/E owned by root:wheel) but I think something is not right with this installation.

Same thing here. No mkext, no permissions repair. It doesn't error, it just says complete after less than a second. If i could fix those and get my dsdt to compile i'd have a near vanilla install.

Install Snow Leopard using that method, then install Snow Leopard within Snow leopard using the OSinstall

Using the disc/dmg itself and not the mpkg?

No, using OSInstall.mpkg

That's what i thought you meant. I tried that, but when i try installing SL from within SL, my SL drive doesn't show up to install on. All i see is my TM, Windows, and Leo partitions, so i thought maybe i misunderstood you. You're directions seem pretty straightforward, so what is it I'm screwing up here?

Not over, but Within. Open the installer in snow leopard and install on another partition or HDD.

Just installed SL on my third machine and I agree with x986123.
If you have Leo then install SL from Leo. When you boot into this SL, then install SL onto another drive/partition. The last SL install will result in a very 'clean' SL install.
