Which distro is good for me (AMD and Asus motherboard)

[theCro]

hello, i've got snow leopard by hazard dvd and my configuration is this:


- ASUS-EAH4670 512 MB Powered by Ati Radeon 4670 GFX card
- AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5200+ 2,7 GhZ processor
- 2GB ram
- Network adapter VIA Rhine II Compatible Fast Ethernet Adapter (192.168.1.2)
- Asus M2V-MX SE motherboard

today i've got brand new Western Digital 320 GB hard disk, just for my - to be osx86!

now someone recommended me to get Snow Leopard by Hazard (Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard) according to my above posted configuration.

However, when i boot dvd, and installation starts, very quick my screen goes black and message appears on monitor sayin "NO SIGNAL" and it's black until i restart it...

this never happened to me before, never... only when i got new hdd, but i assume it's not his fault as he seems to work good.

After installed Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard and deleted kext file that was bugging me (delete kext
cd /Volumes/YOUR-VOLUME-NAME/System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf sleepenabler.kext)

i finally got a chanse to see my OSx86 booting, but i could not get past white screen and apple logo, no way...

i tried booting with -v and many other things and this is what i get:

WHAT DISTRO YOU RECOMMEND ME ACCORDING TO MY CONFIGURATION?
None of them - Why OSx86 Distos are bad. (http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2009/09/why-osx86-distros-are-bad/)

Give Retail installation via EmpireEFI for AMD (http://www.mediafire.com/?m5wzzwyfg4m) a try - you might need to boot it using -x to get through the installation.

After Installation create /Extra/Extensions folders on your OS X partition, open Preboot.dmg from the Boot CD and copy over AppleVIAATA.kext, EvOReboot.kext, fakesmc.kext + NullCPUPowermanagment.kext to /Extra/Extensions folder and if you need PS2 Support copy AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext & ApplePS2Controller.kext to /System/Library/Extensions
Get pfix v3 (http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/03/pfix-v3-0-released/), install it and run it on Terminal + choosing your OS X Partition for it.

Copy mach_kernel from Preboot.dmg to your Desktop and rename it to legacy_kernel - copy legacy Kernel to the main folder of your OS X partion.

Copy com.apple.Boot.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration to your Desktop and edit to look like this: <key>Kernel</key>
<string>legacy_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>Copy the edited Boot.plist into /Extra

Get Chameleon v2 RC4 bin from here: http://chameleon.osx86.hu/file_download/39/Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684-bin.tar.gz and install it like beeing descryped in the manual, but with using "boot" from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=214428

Using -x Bootlfag your system should now be able to boot standalone.

After standalone boot use Softwareupdate to upgrade to 10.6.4, edit your com.apple.Boot.plist again and add:<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>Connect your display via DVI and you should be able to boot without using -x Flag and with full graphic accerlation. :)

Look here (http://osx86.net/f36/10-4-0-xnu-kernel-for-intel-amd-t6268/) for Kernel Update & CPUID patching.
Add VoodooHDA for sound and look for other things you need to have fixed - google usually provides you a solution.

So far the theoretical part - easy as it is. :D If everything wents fine you will be running a very stable OSx86 configuration using just the minimal required patches. :)
