The challenges of installing Snow Leopard on an AMD laptop
So, I have 3 partitions on my laptop: Win 7, Leopard, and one for Snow Leopard.
Windows 7 installed without issue, and I used the ideneb 1.3 distro for Leopard (which only boots with these flags: -v maxmem=2048 cpus=1 busratio=20 noapic). Now I've moved on to the challenge of installing Snow Leopard. I used the Taranfx Guide where everything installed as it should have. I have Easy BCD setup so that I can boot into Win 7 or Chameleon. Unfortunately, Chameleon loads a ton of files and then goes to a black screen. The last few things it loads are: "Patched DMI table" "Loaded HFS+ file: DSDT.aml" "Patched ACPI version 2 DSDT" "Starting Darwin x86" then a black screen. I'm using the Snow Leopard retail disk. My system: Processor: 2.20 GHz AMD Turion II Dual-Core Mobile Processor M500 Memory: 4 GB Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Graphics Please, if you have any ideas, let me know. |
