u can use a Marvin's AMD Utilities to do this patch.
for Fix some problem u can run a cpuid patch on :

iTunes

Code:

/System/Library/QuickTime/

and 

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/

Spotlight

Code:

/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Spotlight.prefPane

Arya, please help me with this.... what is the file that's contain CPUID to run cpuid patch

and how to enable QE/CI on my VGA 9600GT 512MB

I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.6 to an AMD PC. My motherboard is the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe. While the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD is loading (with the help of the latest Empire EFI boot cd), i am getting a message that there is no DSDT found and i am getting a kernel panic. What i must do?

Thank you very much!

I have the same motherboard and got the same problem. Using the Empire EFI for AMD Processors no problem booting up on the empire cd works great.
I can also change to the osx cd and start it.. it starts to load alot of files and then after a while i get a kernel panic. so i tried cpus=1 -f -v -x -s and could see it loaded alot of file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3346837/PICT1847.AVI <-- little video of what it is doing.

After a while it stops with this screen http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3346837/PICT1850.JPG and when i hit return i get this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3346837/PICT1861.JPG

Sorry for shitty pictures

Anyone how has an ide of what is wrong and who can put me in the right direction or maybe to site where i can find more info. maybe i am looking in the wrong places coz. can't find any info.

Your can get more info in my signature

I am getting exactly the same things.

Before we begin to install Snow leopard On AMD system we need to prepare some file :

1. Kernel : Because AMD cant boot with vanila kernel..
for me the most success kernel is mach_kernel.test7 from modbin.
test7 its because its kernel number 7 i have test from modbin (all other kernel get me a KP)
you can get the kernel : here
2. Chameleon rc 2.640 pkg... you can get it from their website or : here
3. boot file to replace chameleon 2 boot file : here
4. DSDT.aml for your system. Google it to find out how
you will need a cmos reset fix in your DSDT.aml, DSDT patch also can be use to make your HDA sound working with vanilla AppleHDA.kext
5. Some kext like:

dsmos.kext - required to decrypt encrypted binaries
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext - attaches in place of the real AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement which doesn't work right on PCs (kernel panic, cpu running hot)
OpenHaltRestart.kext - very simple kext that makes reboot and shutdown work on PCs
PlatformUUID.kext - sets the platform UUID so that you have a uniform UUID from the very start of the boot.. this UUID is used in your preferences files (among other things) and I think it is important for a clean install to have this right from the first boot.

you can get it here

Next Step Installing Snow...
(install from a working leopard)
1. prepare an empty volume with disk utilities n get the uuid of the volume in this sample name it "snow''

Make sure that the new volume's root directory is owned by the root user.

Code:

chown 0:0 /Volumes/Snow

2. Mount the installer
a. if you have a GPT (GUUID Partition Table)
mount the snow leopard installation dmg/iso

Code:

open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg

b if you have an MBR partition u need to edit the OSInstall.mpkg or you can download : here
u can restore the dmg/iso to an empty partition and change the Osinstall.mpkg its located on /Volume/"some volume name"/System/Installation/Packages/
run the Os install.mpkg

3. Install Snow leopard to targeted volume
4. Install Chameleon Rc 2.640 to targeted volume.
5. Replace the boot file
5. Place the new kernel in the root of volume
6. create an smbios.plist and place in to /Extra (in the targeted volume)
this is the dummy:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</plist>

change the UUID with volume UUID that u have before (point 1)
also place the UUID in the PlatformUUID.kext its located on PlatformUUID.kext/content/info.plist

7. Place dmos.kext, PlatformUUID.kext, Openhaltrestart.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in /Extra/Extensions/
8. Edit your /extra/com.apple.Boot.plist
this is just a sample with EfiString for my nVidia Geforce 9600 GT

</dict>

</plist>

9. Place your fixed DSDT.aml in the root of targeted volume
10. if you have other kext like voodooHDA or sumthing you can also install it (i use dsdt to get my sound working)

11. Reboot your PC and boot from targeted volume

Good Luck....

Update:
P.S Please Check Post #3 for some fix.....

I can not create DSDT.aml It always error (many errors). How to solve it? Can I boot to SL without DSDT.aml????
Thank you

Chameleon not booting

I am a noob at hackintosh. I followed the steps to install snow leopard on amd pc. Restored image to thumb drive.
Installed chameleon rc2, but failed.
I only succeded after changing the additional options to chameleon efi hfs and not the standard.
As a result, the bootloader boots but is unable to boot from my os x install usb.
Can any one help me with this? By the way, the usb is not in GUID partition.

i think that's why some application like e.g. photoshop, illustrator
crash after opening :

"i think that's why some application like e.g. photoshop, illustrator

Have you figured out why this is happening? I've installed CS5 Master suite and everything works but Illustrator. I got CS4 to open by removing an palette plugin, but I can't get CS5 to open. Photoshop, InDesign and the rest are fine.

Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

issues installing on amd

hi there i followed the example step by set and when i boot up i get the error
Boot0: GPT
Boot0:Testing
Boot0:Testing
Boot0:Done
Boot1: /boot

would i need to install the Apple VIA kexts as i have a via chipset?

I have same motherboard

Mine has a phenom 2.5 and is running iatkos 10.6.3 very nicely using an nvidia 9500 gt card. I installed with just via chipset (supervia i believe it is) and nvenabler and I use NO NETWORK DRIVER at all and it detects my SMC gigabit card. the internal one is realtek 1000 or 8169 driver I believe but try no driver first because that may work. If i put in a realtek driver (either one) it detects card b ut doesn't connect to internet at all. in reg leopard 10.5.8 i used realtek 1000 driver, but discovered the no driver trick for Snow Leopard and have used it on other machines with realtek cards/chips. I can't seem to get 64bit to work though and I'm not sure why... (anyone have this MB working at 64 bit out there?) but with Quartz Extreme and 4 gigs ram, it's pretty damn fast! I also have a pentium Duo Quad machine running same drivers except it's intel chipset (same graphics same sound chip) and it runs 64 bit no problem. Best way to see if a MB will be 64 bit is just install chipset and nvenabler drivers first and see if it comes up in 64 bit. then add drivers one at a time for sound and network and check to see if still booting 64 bit.

Good luck!

The AMD is nice though because it supports virtual machines so you can use parallels which I like better than VMWare which is all I can run on my intel machine...

Good luck!

SL on AMD Athlon II 250

I have followed the instructions at the site "http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/09/install-snow-leopard-106-on-amd-pc-hackintosh/" to try to install SL on my system with an ECS IC780M-A motherboard with an AMD Athlon II 250 CPU (dual core 3.0 Ghz). It uses the Modbin test7 kernel. When I try to boot the installation I get the following error message after the gray screen with the silver Apple logo:

"panic(CPU 0 caller 0x2e71f459):"Unsupported CPU:family=0x10,model=0x6,stepping=0x2"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/Apple/IntelCPUPowerManagement-90/pmProcessor.c:210"

Can anyone help?
