Well try this...
Run a linux live CD on the machine and run lspci and we'll see what USB controller your using and find out if there's support for it, may I ask is it absolutely necessary to run Snow Leopard, Like my eMachine Leopard is the only thing that will run or even install, I would suggest trying iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 FINAL, or iAtkos v7, both of these distros have on boot USB patches I believe. Hazards distro should have on boot USB patches aswell, but I can't say for sure. 00010 |
I just tried running iATKOS v7. Running it with just "-v" causes it to crash and reboot. Running it with "-v cpus=1 busratio=12" causes it to get stuck at the dreaded "still waiting for root device." I have not tried iPC yet.
Below is the results of running lspci in terminal on Ubuntu 10.4 live cd. Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DMI (rev 11) |
Slices' patch should work fine if you can get Leopard to boot, I would try iPC then, its what I use on my eMachine and it runs great, just remember if you get it to boot make sure to select the patched USB drivers in the customize menu in the installer, iPC should have patched USB kext files on boot for you to use a USB keyboard while you install, it may also have PS2 kext files for you to try a PS2 keybaord and mouse during install.

Tried iPC, still waiting for root device. I'm guessing this is the end of the line. No? :(

Go for Snow Leopard , jeez.

Leopard is great, especially on an AMD system because with the older Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel it has on the fly CPUID patching, which is something Snow Leopard patched kernels are lacking,
Try this for the "Still waiting for root device" error. rd=disk0 or rd=disk0s1 or rd=disk0s2 or or rd=disk2 00010 |
