I'm trying to patch a Hazard ISO I got, filename is Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard. Will this patch work for it? I'm trying fix a kernal panic to do with my AMD Phenom II x6 1100T

Hello,

Are you sure that the kernel is the problem?
I know that there is a problem with amd x6 cpus but you can solve this issue by using the kernelflag -force64.

If it doesn´t work with hazard i would try the nawcom mod cd and a Snow Leopard Retail DVD.

-force64 didn't work for me but I found a few flags that did

this gets me to the install GUI but it doesn't seem to recognise the virtual sata hard drive (I'm using Virtual Box)

are there any tutorials or reference articles detailing the setup flags? I'd like to see what's possible, perhaps I need to specify what the hard drive is called or "where" it is, etc. Also I'd like to under stand it better, I know what FSB means but not what the -x flag does

Thanks a lot

EDIT: Do I need a kext for the virtual disks? how would that work?

EDIT: Here's a screen shot of the problem http://www.flickr.com/photos/2623346...in/photostream

The -x flag is for booting into safe mode.

For your SATA- Controller you´ve to find out which kext will be needed.
I don´t know which kext is needed for virtual box and i also don´t know if there is any that will work. I just know that there is a solution to get it working in vmware.

You have to integrate it into your boot cd.
How you integrate it belongs to your boot-cd but usually kexts will be stored in Extra/Extensions or in System/Library/Extensions.

Hi again, sorry I've kind of hijacked this thread but just wanted to see if I could get some more advice from you.

I got the hard drive working, turns out you need to use the disk utility to partition it. Thanks anyway.

Now I've got OSX installed and it boots! However it crashes after the Chameleon black screen turns into the grey screen with the silver Mac logo. I don't get the spinning loading symbol I'd expect near the bottom of the screen. The VirtualBox window just closes without any error message and without marking the last run as having been aborted.

I suspect it's either to do with the kernal(s) I have or with other custom packages I need to install. I've tried several options, such as using the Legacy Kernal v10.2.0, then using Mobdin v10.0 (which puts up a screen saying I need to reset the computer every time). I've tried putting on each of the System_Support/CMOS_Reset_Fix/ RTC packages, to no avail.

I've also tried adding the kernal supplied on this thread to the install ISO but can't find an ISO program that can do it properly! MagicISO can read the ISO the right way and add the file, but always says that it can't write the new ISO for some reason. But even if I did replace the kernal, surely that's just the install kernal? How would I add DarkKnight's kernals to the Kernal package options or maybe after it's installed?

I have a AMD Phenom II x6 1100T CPU 3.3GHz, 16 GB ram, ASRock 880G chipset motherboard running VirtualBox 4 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

Any help really appreciated. Thanks again!

To help you we need a screenshot from the kernelpanic or something.
Without it we can´t help you. Your systems hardware doesn´t matter if you´re installing it on a virtual machine.
For the RTC fix you can edit your dsdt or you can use elliotforcertc.kext.
To install a other kernel just replace the mach_kernel or legacy_kernel in root on your drive and you have to look up in the boot.plist which kernel is used by default.

Did you try to find something about installing mac os x on virtualbox?
Because i´m not sure that it will work ever.

Why don´t you install it on your local system, because that would be the best solution?! VM´s are much slower running a cracked mac os x and working doesn´t make fun.

I also tried installing mac os on a vm but the speed is horrible.

I would think about it!

So, for instance, run it on it's own partition? Interesting, I hadn't thought of it...

Can you recommend a good ISO editor because the ones I've used won't let me edit the ISO and save it. I've tried PowerISO, MagicISO, UltraISO and CDRoller. Even an ISO unpacker would be nice, could work with that because I have an ISO maker (that's all it does...) Could be for linux also because I have that running (on a virtual box).

Are there any good tutorials for editing boot.plist files and adding different kernals?

And one more question, on the install ISO, is the kernal in the root directory the install kernal, the kernal to be installed or both?

Thanks
