I've installed Leohazard's distro (Snow_Leopard_Client_Server_10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard) with following patches: EFI 10.5, ati 1600 (mine is x1950xt but that seemed closest, also leohazard gave me EFI string for mine but I have no idea how to use it), voodoo, nforcelan. Once I try to boot the kernel with -v -x , I see some HFS+ messages then it immediately restarts my PC before I can read the error (if there's any, that is). Any ideas?

Here's my mainboard's OSX86 hardware compatibility wiki entry for OS X 10.6.0 (not 10.6.2).

Kernel: mach_kernel.test7 from modbin Graphic: PNY GeForce 8400 GS (use Chameleon rc3 with PC EFI 10.5 used OSX86Tools to install EFI) Sound: working with Voodoo sound kext LAN: using nForceLan.kext 0.64 from 10.5 Restart/Shutdown: working after DSDT patch (make sure to edit RTC set Length = 0x02 not 0x04) Sleep: not tested nForce 430…

My hardware are as follows;

GA-M61PM-S2 Mainboard, Athlon X2 250, 2GB RAM, 250GB SATA HDD, ATI X1950XT Graphics.
