Can OS X Snow Leopard be installed in my machine ???
 

I want to know whether "OS X Snow Leopard" can be installed using patched kernel in my machine which has an old Pentium D 820 proccessor . Can I use 64bit mode as my CPU is of x86-64 architechture ????


System Spec.
GA-G31M-ES2L(Mobo)
Intel PentiumD 820 (CPU)
2GB 667MHz DDR2 (Transcend)
Seagate Baracuda 250GB SATA
RTL 8139C PCI Ethernet Card

there is a guide for leopard on you mobo it wouldnt be much different for snow snow
guide: http://osx86.net/f19/guide-gigabyte-...utorial-t3187/

I am sure you can

My CPU is Pentium 4 HT, just before Pentium D and after Pentium D is Core2

The only difference between Core 2 and your Pentium D CPU is that Core 2 can run vanilla kernel whereas you must use a patched kernel

The best patched kernel for P4 and Pen D is Pcj kernel you can find this kernel here

always replace a vanilla kernel by a patch kernel OR you will get kernel panic

Precisely, you follow other guide to install with an USB ( I find out this is the best way ), and remember to replace vanilla mach_kernel with a patched kernel with the same name (also mach_kernel)

Thanks for all your help :):):)

Kernel Panic after install
 

Tried OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Patched DVD for Intel-AMD by Hazard... It installed fine, used 'Legacy Kernel' but after installation while OS X boots up I get "Debugger called <double panic>" message after loading Apple HDA & TMCey driver or something like that I'm not exactly sure....

But when I reboot the machine I get a CMOS checksum error after the POST !!!!!!

Any suggestions ????
