Yes! An external hdd works, as it's how I did my install on a rev 2 board. I even had a drive with 2 partitions, added a third 10gb partition, and put snow install on it. I'm not sure if it matters, but is your drive guid partition mapped? |

Hi
Yes it is guid , I am waiting for the board that is mentioned in the post to turn up so I thought I would try to build the boot disk on my old emac onto a usb hdd I have , I have tried different format options as well , I then tried the usb hdd on a dell optiplex gx 520 which normally like hackintosh but just get a blinking cursor. |

Update 10.6.2
Looks like the 6.2 (nov 11) breaks the install. Hopefully It wont require a reinstall.

Netkas has a way to upgrade to 10.6.2
Quote:
1. Boot from the USB Installer and go to the install drive and remove /Extra/CustomExtensions/SleepEnabler.kext 2. Rebuild /Extra/Extensions.kext. I used MkextTool. Drag all the extensions in /Extra/CustomExtensions Change the folder to /Extra and enter Build. It will over-write the previous version of /Extra/Extensions.mkext 3. If you have not updated yet, Update to 10.6.2. Reboot 4. Put the patched SleepEnabler.kext from netkas into /Extra/CustomExtensions 5. Rebuild /Extra/Extensions.mkext (see (2) I generally use linux dd command to save an exact copy of my partition before doing this kind of work. |

sleep issues
Followed the guide here, and on netkas's site to update to 10.6.2 fine.
Everything works fine, always has. But i've always had a problem with sleep not being reliable. Sometimes it'll go to sleep fine, then when I wake it (keyboard or power button) it'll all spin up but nothing, blank screen (and dead to any ping/ssh attempts). Any ideas people? It's not an easily reproducible error, and nothing seems to get written to the logs. Suggestions as to how I could even track down the issue would be welcome. |

Maybe you can try -v in Kernel Flags in /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist

Maybe you can try putting in the -v (verbose) flag in the /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist and see what happens? Coming out of sleep takes a different path though so maybe you should ask netkas the question. He is the real guru. He may have a way of tracing the problem. The other thing I noted in my issues were that sleep problems were created when the system was going to sleep. I would see some errors in the log then. I would see nothing bad on waking up. |
