re: Chameleon, yea i forgot that too that RC3 doesnt have an official pkg yet, i installed mine using terminal that's why and for some reason RC1 and RC2 errors out at the end. Still choose either automatic injection or EFI strings, important thing is your VGA is working w/ QE/CI  re: PleaseSleep, no problems on my end using Apple wired aluminum KB and Wireless BT mighty mouse, tested it a few times and so far it's been performing well on my end. i didnt remove sleepenabler and havent tried running without it.. will test it sometime and post here if sleep still works which im hoping it wont hehe.

Great guide sk1nhd33t, thank you for taking the time to write it up.
Quick question, how long should it take to restore the SL dvd to the thumb drive? I've tried it as per the instructions on my 10.5.8 hackintosh and from my macbook but it is painfully slow. Disk utility showed over 1 day before I stopped it. Thumb drive seems to be normal as I tried transferring a 700mb file and it was quick. Also tried to restore from the SL dmg file located on the hd vs from the dvd rom. Still slow.

could be a corrupt dmg? or just wait it out a few minutes and maybe it will change the time from days to minutes? worth a try.

Okay, Dr. Hurts RC3 installer worked, then I copied over 10.3 boot.
The thing I had to do was to set my USB Flash to be priority boot over HDD in bios. Then it booted fine and installed fine too. I did not specify (" -v -x32 ") before the install. Is that bad? Now, my next problem is about "Back on Leopard" step. I have two machines - old PPC iMac G5 and PC hackintosh (brand new) that I'm trying to install SL on. So what can I do to install Chameleon now onto the new hackintosh SL box? Edit: I figured it out. Just used the flash drive to boot to Chameleon and then selected the new HDD with SL install. Got it to boot on its own. Now to get the video card working (GeForce EN9600GSO). Any good tutorials on how to get that working? Another edit: Got my video card to work using Universal Installer using custom install. Want to tanks Sk1n for all the great help! Last edited by russianbandit; 09-24-2009 at 03:12 AM.

ok, sk1nhd33t i finally manage to install SL...with bits of this tuto and part of the OSInstall.mpkg method, and lots of try/error/try again. I was forced to use AppleIntelPIIXATA from leopard because somehow the new one for SL did not recognize my mac partition, during install on your method or any other method too
 . i used Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640 and EFI 2.0.Sound works good, internet too, no Kp (only when i was trying to install Photo CS4),sleep is working, the problem is when i come back from sleep sound is full of glitchs (like leopard too). my major annoyance is every time i boot to SL (installed on one hdd of 3 at my disposal) i have to boot with flags -v -f -x32 otherwise it will stall. i edited boot.plist like this but still will not boot. <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1440x900x32</string> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-f -x32</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>boot-uuid=B5375017-4D34-3E88-9B6867110FDFEA89</string> <key>Theme</key> <string>Default</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>1</string> <key>device-properties</key> is there any way to make it boot automatically without typing those fags everytime

I downloaded the PleaseSleep application, which seems to work just fine!
But its really really ugly and there is no setting to hide it completely, remove the menu bar icon or the floating window, you must have atleast one, and i would like it to run completely in the background. I really dont need to change any preferences at any time. So how's this done? Using it on my netbook too, therefore i need the space in the menu bar, cause of the low resolution.

My thought exactly ... have you try to choose the non-menu bar option (floating window) then go to preferences-> accounts and you'll have the option to see what app that auto-run when login automatically and make hidden? That way it'll be minimized to the dock.

PleaseSleep cant be hidden even if you tick hide on startup so what i did was change it's menubar icon, at least now i dont see a tricolor "Zzz" icon and it matched other icons in my menubar
 pleasesleep is the icon before MainMenu (eraser icon)

My mainboard has 2 NICs, w/ one disabled booting setup took a very long time, both enabled and it would freeze after network initialization. Purchased and installed an RTL-8169 card and disabled the onboard cards, ut now I get a kernel panic. Any suggestions?
