Problelm To Install Snow Leopard
 
I followed this guide to install Snow Leopard on my Dell Inspiron 1420.
I mounted the Snow Leopard image to an external hard drive instead of a USB flash drive.Darwin boots correctly, but when it gets to the Apple logo, it tells me to push the power button and restart again.

I have Leopard installed already on one of the partitions, but it barely works. It works enough, so I can mount the image.

Can anyone show me a way to install Snow Leopard on my Dell Inspiron 1420?

These are my specifications:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750
Intel GM965
Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME)
DDR2 Dual Channel 3072MB
Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family
Sigmatel HD Audio
Broadcom NetLink Fast Ethernet
Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN

No, I didn't try any other guides.
Can you show me links to some guides?

  1. You have not posted picture correctly.
  2. Use -v at boot and tell what error you get.
  3. Use Empire EFI 1.8 or 1.7 Bootable CD.
  4. Set to AHCI in BIOS if have this option.

Ok, here's the link of the picture that I took:http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...t=P1000303.jpg

I couldn't get it to post properly.

As to booting with -v: I can't get to any screen that lets me enter these letters. (But there's a screen where you can boot with safe mode, or verbose mode anyway.)

The computer has been set to AHCI since I bought it.

I'll come back and try those other two methods you suggested.

Your picture is small, i barely see anything.. It is an Kernel Panic.
It will be easier to help you if the error message can be seen clearly.
By the way -v = Verbose.

This might be a little betterhttp://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh134/Yoloni/?action=view&current=P1000303-1.jpg

Thanks for helping.

I am having the same problem of it telling me to restart and I have AHCI enabled and I've used boot 132, Chameleon, and Rebel EFI. None of it works and I'm really pissed off. BTW i'm am using snow leopard. thanks

You're using Snow Leopard. There should be no problem:confused:
