If you're up for some work, follow this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=201330
Only catch is you'll need 10.5 up and working first. OR.......... I hope talking about distros here doesn't get me in trouble with the moderators, but it might be the only way to get you up and running. Get a hold of Hazards distro. Just google it. Either put it on a usb drive and boot from it, or burn it to a DVD. When it starts loading, press F8 and enter the following flags: -v busratio=20 When you get to the installation section, press customize. The only things you should have checked are the following: Choose the latest chameleon build available under bootloaders Evoreboot Choose the lan kext that matches your specs closest Honestly, thats all you need. After install upon first boot, enter the following flags: -v busratio=20 This should at least get you in. Your resolution will probably be locked at 1024x768 and your sound won't work, but you should at least have an internet connection. Once at this point, download the combo update for 10.6.7 and the file I mentioned before from nawcom. Open up the nawcom package and let it sit. Install the combo update...do not press restart. Install the nawcom package and then restart. This time, you don't need the busratio flag. This should get you to 10.6.7. At this point, back up the entire partition to another disk in case you run into trouble later - at least you'll have a working install ready to go. Search for others with your specs for kexts/solutions for your video card, sound, and other stuff. You'll probably want to update chameleon at least. Good luck. |
I'll try hazards.
Had a problem with my external that has a lot of data that i need on it, so all my attention was on that sorry guys. Will be sorted shortly. |
This is a wonderful time to be out of blank DVDs..just AMAZING timing..like only me.
Is there any way to install this from a USB, i downloaded Hazards DVD and am ready to try it...but...no blanks! EDIT: found a guide, gonna try and restore it to a external USB and install from there. Another side mission, im not giving up lmao |
Well i've been at this a good 7 hours straight trying to figure out how to make a USB bootable with Hazard.... *shrugs* bout ready to throw in the towel on mac.
|
Finally made the USB bootable...figured out how to use the iAtkos CD to install chameleon to the USB so i could boot into it. everything went well until i tried to install.
tried cpus=1 and 4 with and without busratio 16 and 20 with and without -v and -x, always leads to this sorry about the quality. i took as many as i could before the batteries gave out http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0015.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0014.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0013.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0012.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0011.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0010.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0009.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0008.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/IMG_0007.jpg |
Just got done installing 10.6.7 for AMD. Went the same route you did. Spent weeks dealing with so many different methods and finally found one that works. Nawcom 3.1. You also need the retail dvd ($30) works like a charm.
If you need help, pm me. |
BTW i installed the iatkos, i finally gotit to boot in safe mode, i tried the kernel that was suggested , it made the apple screen show up when i booted but it freezes at the white/gray screen with the apple logo, and some type of status bar spins, then stops
|
Like I said, I've been through iAtkos... waste of time. Do nawcom with retail. It's probably the only way you will get that system to accept SL 10.6.7
