Snow Leopard AMD?

agg23 · #1 07-28-2009, 06:51 PM

Hi,

I am new to these forums. I came here from InsanelyMac because they do not have a Snow Leopard forum.

Anyway, I would like to know how to go about installing Snow on my AMD laptop. I don't understand everything with OSx86 but I have learned a lot.

Thanks for any help,
Agg23

if you are novice maybe you would wait for full featured non legacy amd kernel,that be only after realese 10.6
legacy kernel has some limitation.

What are some of the limitations? Snow Leopard will be only for fun since my graphics card will never be supported.

You could try running DmitriK's Legacy kernel from the first post in the topic in the link posted above.

Ya gotta start somewhere

Open up Terminal
type (without quotes) "sudo -s"
then type "cp /path/to/kernel /Volumes/SnowLeopardPartitionName"
Thats it! Reboot

Thanks for understanding

It seems like most OSx86 users expect you to know everything.

Back to the subject,
How should I install Snow? With Pacifist? Is there any build (of Snow) you would recommend?

Thanks again,

The best Snow Leopard build image to start off with is 10A380. There are instructions on how to install in this guide:

Should I follow the complete guide?

Also the DmitriK kernel that is posted says it is for Snow Leopard 10A394. Will this work with 10A380?

With the install process on the topic you linked to, will all of those tools needed work on Tiger? I will me replacing my Leopard install with Snow so I cannot use it.

Thanks
