I FINALLY got it to boot thanks to the new Chameleon RC3 that just came out.

That is good ! but i have a question for you: the devices connected to PCI bus are working (Network & Wireless Card ) ?

At least in my laptop i need the IOPCIFamily.kext for Snow patched ....

Hi,

I have a Presario C700 laptop and I am trying to put Snow Leopard onto it.
Did you follow a guide to put it on? I can't even get a bootable USB drive with Snow Leopard install to boot let alone the actual system.

If you could upload the kexts and DSDT you used that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance
JM

I have a successful install on 2 Compaq A900 (my wife and my own laptops). For awhile I had iAktkos v1.2 10.5.4 that's what I believe most people have been able to install. So I've made install for may friends on different laptops and even on my own desktops I decided to take the challenge and install Snow Leo 10.6.2 on our 2 Compaq's (which are the same as C700 if google it you'll find it true).
Everything works except the built in camera, that always been an issue. Sleep works but only on 32 bit boot mode. The install is very tricky and I believe its not for rookies or people with moderate to advance knowledge.
I can create a guide if still there are out there enough people with these laptops that don't want to give them up like me. Actually the install came out that good and because the nice screen that theese A900 have (a 17" brightview) that it made me to try also a CPU swap on my wife one since hers was overheating a lot and self turning off (a well known issue on these laptops). The swap was also so successful that I will now mine as well. I got T8300 on hers and planning to get the same for mine. The cores temperature went from constant 80-84 Celsius down to 52-56 C.
I will update on insanely forum where I'm a bit more active user (I don't post a lot it doesn't mean I don't follow all the community issues).

Thanks, this solved my install.

I got it to install fine but the fan doesn't run properly. Runs really hot and then fan kicks in. Can some help. Thanks
