Also, after installation, when I tried to boot. it says
boot0: testing boot0:testing boot0: error I delete the source parition which had OS installation partition so that i can boot into secondardy partition where OS was installed. everyone i was booting my laptop, it was boot from installation partition rather than where OS was install. A help would be really helpful. I am trying hard for last3 weeks to get this to install. It is not working. I used retail MAC OS X to dump image then ran the utility mention begining of this forum. thanks a log again. |

I wouldn't have thought it mattered to use Tiger, but once I created the USB stick with my existing 10.5.8 hack install, it booted right up. (I used the lifehacker/stell script to fix the stick.) Miles to go before I'm totally done, but at least I got past the first hurdle. Thanks again. |
Sorry guys. I am in the wrong threads. Actually, I tried so many solutions, i cannot even make it to work. This threads solution is the only thing that took me to install snow leopard successfully.
If you dont' mind, can you please direct me place where I can find some solution. I have VGN-BZ560 laptop. Google it a lot and couldn't find anybody who had success install Snow Leopard. Again, when I tried to install SL from USB, it doesn't see my laptop internal HD and after installing into different partition from USB, i cannot boot from it. I get error message as: error0:test error0:test error0: failed. Please help me to right place or solution that might work for my laptop. Really appreciate for your help and valuable time. |

Just checking back to this thread to update my install previously done with the old instructions using the hidden EFI partition. From what I've read, there's no pros or cons to either method other than one's preference on having the required files in the root of the drive or hidden. So I've made the required changes: generated my own DSDT and updated to 10.6.2 and all looks well. Have the following questions though: 1. Bonjour fix - Like the quoted above, I also ran the SnowR1000 and it ran successfully but I don't see the kext in S/L/E. Have also copied it to S/L/E and dragged it to kext utility and rebuild extensions.mkext but I'm not sure if anything has changed or improved. I have a rev 1 board and ethernet worked out of the box. However, my samba shares are wonky in that I get intermittent disconnects when streaming media from the hackintosh. When this happens, my other devices will fail to connect to the samba shares. After some length of time, things work again. 2. Auto sleep doesn't work reliably. It seems to work right after startup but at some point stops working. Will try the script soon. 3. Speedstep - Would like to get this working as well but have not tried. Anyone successfully done this with a E5300? Thanks |

I'm trying to get through the guide (original post). I started with 10.5.7 installed on the G31M-ES2L. I made my usb stick and went through the steps listed in the OP. Press F12 in start up, select my usb drive, do the install. Then I restart, press f12, select the usb drive again, but it only gives me the option to select a drive to install to again. How do I enable the startup from SATA drive where I installed SL? Am I missing a step between the lines?

I'm booting into SL on the usb drive, but when I try to create the dsdt.dsl file I get some errors and no ASL file (only a log file). Any advice?
