Thank you, you could maybe help me a little more ...
When you say :

Create a folder named Extra on the Install partition and copy these items to it:

* com.apple.Boot.plist
…
…

How do you do that whithout a working OSX for the install ? The manipulation of DVD files part is where i don't get it .. i only have windows to modify snow leopard files ..

EDIT : and the other tut' is the same : "One HDD (installer HDD) contains a running version of OSX" ... I never had Osx running on my PC and don't have a mac around here ..

Field Note #2 @DocShadow 2009-08-21

Then you should not be installing SL.

Find a copy of iATKOS, Kalyway, iPC OSX 86, iDeneb, or XXX OSX 86 10.5.x distributions and install one of them.

This will get a copy of 10.5 on a drive from which you can install SL.

Learn on the easier Leopard install before tackling SL.

Field Note #3 @DocShadow 2009-08-21

Je comprend …

With the EX58 board, if you don't boot with …

-v cpus=1 busratio=20

.. then the install will fail.

Field Note #4 @DocShadow 2009-08-21

Did you follow my instructions regarding BIOS SETUP (Version F8) in my thread?
