@milancaWelcome to InfiniteMac! Enjoy your stay here! It's quite a nice laptop but not OSX's favorite, unfortunately. Graphics isn't supported so no fun running it with software renderer and without acceleration. Wifi also isn't but it can be replaced what isn't the case with intel4500hd video card. Everything else should run ok. Please no…
Thank for your reply. I'm sure I'll enjoy this forum. Sorry for the torrent.
So. What do I need to do? Download another .iso?
Can I run it without the acceleration?
Ok. I have selected all the info you posted and I got this error:
0x0000000000000000Picture:
I got this error when I try to enter the cd… code:
What I'm doing wrong?
Also... My KINGSTON did not appear in the volumes…

Please no torrent links in the posts in the future, as stated in Forum Rules. Thanks.
pick:
Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update Combo, it will install the update together with vanilla kernel (you don't need any other kernel, vanilla will work on C2D's)
Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.5 , A MUST ! Later you will upgrade it with later Chameleon and thus you'll have no need for UUID fix (but select it now uuid fix as i am not sure if chameleon guys fixed it in rc3 or rxc4)
Kernels: none
Graphics: none
Audio: nothing for now, not sure which one you have and it can be all added later
Network: not now
Laptop:
AppleACPIBatteryManager - might need it
VoodooPS2Trackpad - also
System:
You have ICH-9M. Can you set it in bios to run in AHCI mode? If so, do it.
AHCI SATA Fix Extra/Extensions - tick
IOATAFamily SATA Fix Extra/Extensions - tick
UUID - also select it for now
Dsmos - Don't play with devil not to select this little dude Later you could install the latest FakeSMC 2.5 and remove dsmos.
That's it. Now you should explore a bit on your own, no fun if i tell you everything
Boot with: -x32 -v
Yes, dsmos is causing kernel panic on 10.6.2.
Go to netkas site and download fakesmc, the latest.. put it on usb flash, boot with installer dvd and launch terminal and go to System/Library/Extensions
cd System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf dsmos.kext
found what volums is your usb flash drive:
ls -la /Volumes
for example: Kingston
cp -r /Volumes/Kingston/fakesmc.kext /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 fakesmc.kext
chown -R root:wheel fakesmc.kextrebuild cache with:
kextcache -v 1 -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions/
When you boot from DVD your root path, /System/Library/... will be on the partition you booted from. In this case that is your DVD.
Extensions folder on your HDD will be:
/Volumes/~PartitionName/System/Library/Extensions/
list your Volumes to find the partition name where you installed SL.
(example)
/Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions/
If you can't see your usb drive try with Disk Utility first. Plug it in then try to mount it in Disk Utility. If it won't go burn it on rewritable cd or dvd.
Again, pay attention when copying.
/Volumes/~CDPartitionName/fakesmc.kext to /Volumes/~HDDPartitionName/...
