gr8 wrk dj-nitehawk
 
gr8 thx dj-nitehawk for your hard-work!!

i would like to install Autodesk Smoke for mac and for that minimum sys req is Snow Leopard 10.6.2, hence it would be great if you can update your script for 10.6.2

btw, right now i hav iPC Leopard 10.5.6 running

also, hope snowleopard_10a432_userdvd can be used to install SL by ur method, with my current dual-boot staying intact (i.e. WinXP and iPC 10.5.6), coz will need WinXP as well.

and can i install SL 10.6 (10a432) from ur guide and then software update to 10.6.2??

-anyway, gr8 thx!! gr8 job!! ;)

I've tried a couple of installation methods, Lifehacker's and sk1nhd33t's. I've restored a retail dmg to a Sandisk 8gb thumb drive, partitioned in GUID. I am trying to install on a 60gb IDE HDD in an external USB case. I have a 500 gb SATA drive for data, but not installed yet. I only get a blinking cursor at boot-up.
pertinent (I believe) BIOS settings
1st boot device: USB Sandisk
SATA: AHCI
HPET: Enabled
AM I missing a USB BOOT enabled? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

*SOLVED*
I had a bad USB Thumb drive.

Now I can make it through setup, but am unable to log in. It doesn't recognize Username, Password. I re-setup with no password, but still no luck. It is an external drive, so I can go to a SL machine if anyone knows how to get past log in.

Thanks

managed to get to the boot screen and pressed enter to get the installation started. It started reading then this happend.

I've the same result using an ASUS K50IN, using 10.6.3 version
Almost the same screen from tukangreka, final message: System uptime in nanoseconds: some large number
I've already tried:
-boot with "ForceHPET=Yes"
-nullcpupowermanagement ktext
-there is no option for enabling the HPET via the bios

There is a lot of people in this forum with a successful asus k50IN hackintosh, some say this is the ideal laptop for osx...
Someone can help me?
