No luck with my AMD-system? What release?

Hey mates,
I am new here and would like to startwith a questin right now.

I downloaded 2 releases fr my AMD-system, Hazard 10.6.2 and SnowOSX 3.6A.
But nothing does work. [same problem if booting with -v arch=i368]

Hazard shows this in verbose mode:


SnowOSX just reboots, when I want to boot the DVD, it loaded these HFS+-Drivers. Then the line: Starting Mac OS X (or similar) is displayed for less than a second before it reboots.


What to do? I just detected "UniFlash 1.0" - Is that worth a try for me?


My system:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-MA770 DS3
RAM: 4GB MDT DDR2 800 Ram
GPU: GeForce 8800GTS



Thank you so much!

Could you provide your hardware specs? but is probably seems like a wrong chipset driver installed or nothing installed(sata and pata )

Which drive you are trying to boot ? Sata or ide ?

There is one drive already detected while booting but doesnt your boot partition i think.

Actually i am using 790gx chipset and not selecting any chipset driver just set achi in bios for your hardrives otherwise you have to use atiata.kext if you select ide in your bios but not a via-ata.

This should fix your problem.

But firstly you should try achi.

Thanks mate.

But don't get me wrong. I don't reach the install-screen, I cannot even boot.

But I tried AHCI and I still have got the same problems

Thanks, but the installer doesn't appear for me. I tried a retail disc with Empire EFI, but it also says "waiting for root device"

He needs to inject a chipset kext into the DVD for it to work.

I'm having this same issue. I've downloaded Hazard from numerous areas thinking maybe it was the ISO. But apparently not, last thing I see is "Starting Darwin" and then the screen resets and the computer begins to reboot, don't even have the chance to see disk utility. I've tried -x -cpus=4 -busratio=20 -force64 and no luck.

I currently have Lawless PPC running smoothly on my system, but would really like to have Snow Leopard running.

How can I check in my current install what chipset kext is working and inject it into this DVD? would that work?

Please help! Thanks
