Kernel Panic after install
Tried OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Patched DVD for Intel-AMD by Hazard... It installed fine, used 'Legacy Kernel' but after installation while OS X boots up I get "Debugger called <double panic>" message after loading Apple HDA & TMCey driver or something like that I'm not exactly sure…
But when I reboot the machine I get a CMOS checksum error after the POST !
Any suggestions ?

there is a guide for leopard on you mobo it wouldnt be much different for snow snow
guide: osx 86.net/f19/guide-gigabyte-g31m-es2l-retail-tutorial-t3187/
I am sure you can
My CPU is Pentium 4 HT, just before Pentium D and after Pentium D is Core2
The only difference between Core 2 and your Pentium D CPU is that Core 2 can run vanilla kernel whereas you must use a patched kernel
The best patched kernel for P4 and Pen D is Pcj kernel you can find this kernel here
always replace a vanilla kernel by a patch kernel OR you will get kernel panic
Precisely, you follow other guide to install with an USB ( I find out this is the best way ), and remember to replace vanilla mach_kernel with a patched kernel with the same name (also mach_kernel)
