Glad to be here in this forum! I'm from Greece so forgive me, I dont know how to speak English fluently.

So, I have this Asus M3N78-EM together with an AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core 8650 and 4GB of RAM (at 800MHz).

I tried installing with iAtkos v7, iDeneb 10.5.7, still no luck. Can anyone help me on this? I hacked two PCs with Intel processors and I did quite well! But on AMD...uh-oh...

Please?.. where to start from?

Thanks!;)

I have the same mobo, and I managed to install 10.6.7 a few days ago. Tell me what seems to be the problem and I will try to help.

Hi! Sorry I just saw your reply.
Well, the only distro I used was iAtkos V7 to get 10.5.8 installed. Then, I updated using retail 10.6.3 following the tutorial on this forum. I never used Hazard's distro, but I believe the process is the same.
I updated from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 using the 10.6.7 combo update. I used Nawcom's legacy_kernel-10.7.0. Also, I had to patch the dyld and quicktime.
I just updated to 10.6.8 and had to patch the dyld and quicktime again. Everything works except sleep and virtualization.
