Snow Leopard on Lenovo Thinkstation D20
Hey everybody, I finally got my new computer, and I need some help getting Snow installed :\
Specs: Intel 5520 Motherboard (Lenovo D20) Two Intel Xeon E5504 Quad Core @ 2.00GHz Each 4GB RAM DDR3 (getting 4 more later) nVidia Quadro FX 580 Two 250GB HDDs SATA, not on RAID controller, using Intel ICH ---- It's been so long since I've done this that things have completely changed. I don't know which way to start. I heard that you're supposed to make a Chameleon flash drive then load it up with kexts but I don't know where to start because there are so many methods out there now. KEXTs are hard to find for this thing too, I know it's a challenge but I'm sure it'll pay off. ~MoC Lenovo D20 8 Core Thinkstation: [Intel 5520 Motherboard | Two Intel Xeon E5504 @ 2GHz | 4GB DDR3 RAM | Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (running in full LP64!) | nVidia Quadro FX 580 Dual HDMI + DVI 512 MB| DVD +RW DL] iBook G4: [14" Mid 2005 | 1 GB RAM | 80 GB HDD | SuperDrive | Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5] ∞

I tried to boot using SnowOSX, and no luck, it either instantly reboots or stalls with a green stripe on my screen, no KP either, just boom and pow.
I tried with the following switches: cpus=1 platform=ACPI platform=X86PC -x86 -x -v -s -f No luck. Regular Leopard discs hang later on while booting =( Lenovo D20 8 Core Thinkstation: [Intel 5520 Motherboard | Two Intel Xeon E5504 @ 2GHz | 4GB DDR3 RAM | Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (running in full LP64!) | nVidia Quadro FX 580 Dual HDMI + DVI 512 MB| DVD +RW DL] iBook G4: [14" Mid 2005 | 1 GB RAM | 80 GB HDD | SuperDrive | Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5] ∞
