Restart. While booting, press F8 if needed, and in prompt enter "mach_kernel.test7" to boot using the new one for sure. If this works, You can edit boot.plist file and change kernel to .test7 there - this way it's easier to avoid problems with updates etc. cause You always have Your working kernel untouched.

kernel should be 644 if i m not mistake..
for me i just place the kernel in root because i have chown 0:0 /Volumes/Snow

aryajuanda

You have characteristics mach_kernel.test7 ?
At its use with Р4 it is necessary disabler.kext ?

Fantastic guide aryajuanda, it helped me a lot with my snow leo installation.

FYI everything is working great just like on my old 10.5.8, though I had to place appleac97audio, voodoops2controller and nforcelan kexts inside /s/l/ext, as they won't load from the extra folder. The video card is injected via EFI string and my realtek card is working right out of the box.
Everything feels snappier, faster, hope it lasts.

Thanks again aryajuanda!!!

EDIT:
After a couple of days I must say that it's really behaving more stable and faster than 10.5.8, the only issue I've found (and not a big one) is that I cannot set the volume with the slider next to the clock or the keyboard, it seems to move but it turns back to the previous state once I drop the slider. The strange thing is that I can change it from the audio preferences :P

Any idea???

I manged to install SL using a combination of this guide and the guide on ihackintosh, but I'm not able to boot it.

I installed on my external USB drive (GUID), installed this kexts:

I get KP every time when I try to boot (I tried booting with -v -f -s -x, no go )
vanilla kernel gives me restarts, withz modbin test7 I get this KP:

Can anyone help me with this KP?

My specs are:
AMD Athlon II X2 550
Gigabyte 790fx UD4p
8Gb RAM
ati radeon 3850

For intel user or some one who like to try boot 64 bit mode on testt7 kernel you can try boot with -64_bit

Not working on my rig becauce amd doesnot have syscall64, but i can see 64 bit mode enable with -64_bit boot arg

This isn't so simple as it seems.i am sure if you go to itunes preferences, itunes wont show anything and also if you check Sysytem Preferences/spotlight under privacy tab it will crash the system.

These problems along with volume slider can be fixed using marvins amd utility by checking patch all binaries and select the System/library folder.If you check specific folders it will just show a "Unable to determine encrypted files...." message.

HOWEVER if you do this front row will stop from starting. Havent found a solution on this one yet.

Thanks for the answer maxx... I've patched every binary on /Library since my first boot and never had that itunes and spotlight problem, that slider thing is the only issue I had so far.
Also FrontRow is not working here as you said, but I never use it, so...

I think I'll do the same, have you tried building the one he posted earlier today?
