fingers crossed... im hoping adding that kext will solve the "unsupported cpu" error... i havent seen anybody else running snow leo on celeron processors yet... maybe u could be the first :-) if it still says that after adding the kext to ur usb drive's /extra/extensions, try booting with the following boot flag: (interrupt chameleon at boot by pressing any key and simply type in the following and hit enter) cpus=1 and dont worry too much about the instructions on the actual script... what u should do next is: boot into the snow installer (after resolving the current unsupported cpu problem)... launch disk utility from within the installer... format ur target SL partition (internal drive)... i suggest u create another test partition for SL rather than overwriting ur existing leo installation... maybe u should do that first from within leo cos that way u could resize ur leo partition and create a new SL partition with around 10gb for testing... im not too sure if the installer's disk utility will let u resize partitions... so do it from leo and prepare ur target SL partition before u fire up the usb installer... hope that makes it clear... then from the installer's terminal, type: "/snow-installer/installnow" and make the SL target partition bootable... just like u made the installer bootable by running the script from ur leo desktop... then just go ahead with the installer.... oh and if nullcpupm kext is what solves ur "unsupported cpu" problem, u should add it to your usb drive's "/snow-installer/filez/extra/extensions" as well so that it'll get installed to ur SL partition and let u boot into ur installed SL... or u will see the "unsupp. cpu" problem again after restarting and booting into ur newly installed SL... let me know how u go... take notes/pics of any error msgs u see and remember what u did when u did it... :-) good luck!!! PS: u know what... u could do all ur SL testing on ur external usb drive itself if there's more free space left on it... how big is ur usb? the installer partition should be around 6-7gigs... does it have another 5-6gigs left for a test SL partition? this way u wont mess up ur internal LEO installation... this is how i tested SL when it came out, without touching my old 10.5 leo... if u end up going this way, remember to run my script for each partition... ie: once for the installer, once for the installed SL... even if its on the same disk...

hi djnitehawk
I try so many ways to install snow leopard, I do have it work right now, but with chameleon 1.0.1.2 32bit, when I want to use 64bit mode I hive to reboot and type in at boot, [ boot: -x64 ] Yah, I no, it can be put in the [ com.apple.boot.com] , but it doesn't work me. but anyway I have to say that you are the first person that got it right!!, on forum very nice work there dude. 4 starts for you.. So I download your file and started a new install, boy I I have to say that the installation when Nice No problems at all.. So let say how I install it, 1} Restore DMG on a 40GB disk2, name: Mac OS X DVD Install. 2} Download the file: Snow_Installer_V1.1.zip 3} Unzip to my OSX 10.5.8 Desktop. 4} Ran the Installer and follow the prompts , install to " MySnowLeo " Drive. Now the next step I did different. I open my " Mac OSX Install DVD " and I can see what your script did. 5} So I ran the install from installation package. And when the install was Done, I didn't reboot. I ran the install script again. And add kext's that I needed. 6} Open a Terminal and did the following: * sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions * sudo chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions * sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/NAMEOFSNOWVOLUME * sudo touch /system/library/extensions 7} Reboot the system, it did rest. Snow Leopard 10.6 Install and running in 64-bit mode. sound = working USB = working Network = working --------------------------------- Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail w/ update to 10.6.1, Install Script By dyitehawk -------------------------------------------------- Mother = > Asus Ranpage Extreme X48 Processor = > Q9450 Memory => DDR3 1600Mhz @ 7,7,7,24 T1 Graphic => BFG-8800GTS 640 HO2/ SS2 BIOS => #1202 HD =x3 => Seagate Barracada SATA-300/16 DVD = > Samsung 205RT/ DVD/RW DL SATA2 System is overclock 3.2Ghz @ 1600Mhz/ Stage3 Full waterblock's Cooling System. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8} what I need now is to the following, " command-Line " When I open Pacifist I get this error: Sorry, One or More of the following command-Line tools was not found. /usr/bin/lsbom,/bin/pax,/bin/Mkdir,/bin/chmod or /usr/bin/update_Prebinding. So how can I fix this Thank you. Good Job on that Script.

and the 32bit kernel can run 64bit apps without restarting... if u boot in 32bit and look at the "activity monitor" you will see that all the core apps/processes are infact running in 64bit and if u launch "system profiler" > extensions... u will see that most core drives are running in 64bit mode... |

I forgot to comment. The external usb drive I am using is one of these:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=561 And so fare I have had some SUCESS!! now I get past all the text in chameleon boot but it hangs at the white screen before an apple icon comes up. So YES! Your scrip has made progress. 1 Question: I have the Snow Leopard dmg file on my desktop. Do I only drag it to source and the formatted Snow (thats what I call it) disk (External drive on destop) to destination and then restore. Do I still have to install Snow Leopard dmg over that once its been restored.....thats what I'm not clear on (sorry if you have explained it) Thanks |

now it seems like a graphics detection problem... download & extract the attached natit.kext.zip and place the natit.kext file in ur usb drive's "/Extra/Extensions" and "/snow-installer/filez/extensions" i forgot to say this earlier... u should copy that nullcpupm kex to ur usb drive's "/snow-installer/filez/extra/extensions" as well so that it will get installed to ur ultimate SL target in the future... then reboot into the usb and see if that gives u graphics... and no there's no installing to the restored partition... only restoring the snow dvd is required... only installing is done to the ultimate target... i think u have done it right so far... lemme know how u get on with the natit.kext... PS: forgot to say... u need to edit both "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and "/snow-installer/filez/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and change where it says "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" to "GraphicsEnabler=No" before rebooting into the installer after adding natit...
