Author Update #1 @nocturnal 2012-11-12

@goriarell,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have succeeded in installing MAC on my system with Nawcom+ retail OS X 10.6

LAN : working fine
AUDIO : works too
QE/CI : video crashes while playing,mouse flickers; resolution:1024x768
RAM detected : 2 GB DDR2
processor : AMD phenom II 555 single core

&vrequired nawcom bootcd to log in into MAC

updated with 10.6.7 combo_update and installed legacy_kernel 10.6.6
Now,
reboots without nawcom boot cd
LAN :not recognised
AUDIO : HD audio detected
QE/CI: not working
RAM detected : 4 GB DDR2
processor : AMD phenom II 555 (2 cores)

Tried: NVenabler.kext,NVinject.kext,Graphic enabler=yes for in-built Graphics NVIDIA Geforce7025 (256MB) card

Found: nForce 0.62.13 kext for nForce630a Ethernet bult-in

Can you help with the graphics ?

Field Note #1 @goriarell 2011-12-27

Have you tried nawcom mod cd yet

You should try retail install with nawcom mod cd. I have your same motherboard and i have a successful install with it. If you have problems i am willing to help you out.

Field Note #2 @ricciolini 2012-02-25

Mobo M4N68T-M-LE-V2 Snow Leoprad

I have the same mobo and having a harsh time trying to install MAC OS.

Basically it doesn't start the installation at all. I tried with retail DVD and iBooot. Also different have Hazard isos but no luck so far.

Could you please give some tips?

Thanks,

Miguel

Field Note #3 @todesto 2012-02-26

when booting with nawcom CD, try following flag:
arch=i386 -force64 busratio=20 -v

When booting with Hazard DVD:
-v -F maxmem=4096 fsb=200000000 cpus=2 (<- cpus could be optional)

both works for me.
