hello there,

yes you have to have a working osx for running the installer script, partition it with GUID and then you need to restore the original DVD or image that i suppose you have of SNow Leopard 10.6 onto it. After your USB is ready you proceed to boot with -v or cpus=1 if you need it,

cheers

Hi flip360!

Thanks for the quick answer. I will try it in a vmware leopard (because I don't have a Mac).
I am still interesed in the other topic, install from dvd.
What can you suggest me?
Should the retail install dvd boot with the k50in boot cd? Won't boot for me, I'll try the Hazard edition tomorrow.
If not, what is the correct method to boot the retail install dvd?

Best Regards!
Adam

@ keresztesvitez: I havent ried the K50IN boot cd so i duuno if it works, but the USB method works and its fast too,
@ Georgie99: Try and add NullCPUPowermanagement.kext to the extra folder and see if that passes the ACPI error during boot,

cheers

you can either copy it to Extra/Extensions through Windows or as i did, copied it to my USB installer. Mind you that i dont longer need it because the native applecpupowermanager is working fine,

cheers

Hi,

I'm a newbie and I was trying to install Snow Leopard in my new Asus K40IN-X1 laptop. I downloaded the Asus K50in bootCD v2 and I followed the steps installing from an original Snow Leopard DVD. In the first try I received the "Still waiting for root device" message so I booted the CD with the -x -v parameters and the installation began. According to the installer, the installation was successful. However when the system restarted, the error "devfs_kernel_mount: f " appeared in the screen and the boot process halted. I searched in google and in the forum and I changed the SATA configuration from "Enhanced" to "Compatible" but I'm still stuck in the "Still waiting for root device" error. What's the next step to follow to make a successful installation?

Thanks

Hi Georgie99!

I have managed to download the kext you mentioned. It's a zip file. Once I was able to install Leopard, but it won't boots up so I gave up, but I have managed to copy files to the mac partition with MacDrive8.
