[ PRE-INSTALL AUTOMATOR v1.1 ] For easily installing vanilla snow leo.

[daze]

Thank you for this great guide.

My System: ASUS P5W DH DELUXE, Intel Quad-CPU @2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 50GB SATA HD, Nvidia 8800 GTS (640MB)

Snow Leopard boots just fine in 64-bit and everything, except for the sound is working. But I don't bother for the missing internal audio, because I have a secondary external one.

My problem: transfer-rate on the USB-bus is extremely slow, e.g. syncing my iPhone with iTunes is nearly impossible. It takes ages. I have a separate working Leopard (10.5.8) installation and copying files via USB is very fast there.

Any suggestions where to tweak? Any help appreciated.

try setting ur bios like this: http://p5w-dh-deluxe-osx86.wikidot.com/bios-settings

if that doesnt solve it, can u try booting in 32bit mode with the "arch=i386" boot flag and see if that makes any difference...

does system profiler show ur usb2.0 ports as EHCI? or are all ur usb ports shown as UHCI?

Thank you for the quick reply.

This one actually restored the USB-speed, BUT strangely enough it killed my firewire; no devices found and also the System-Profiler sees no more firewire connections!

In Leopard (10.5.8) FireWire is still there and working.

hi djnitehawk

I try so many ways to install snow leopard, I do have it work right now, but with chameleon 1.0.1.2
32bit, when I want to use 64bit mode I hive to reboot and type in at boot, [ boot: -x64 ]
Yah, I no, it can be put in the [ com.apple.boot.com] , but it doesn't work me. but anyway

I have to say that you are the first person that got it right!!, on forum very nice work there dude.
4 starts for you..

So I download your file and started a new install, boy I I have to say that the installation when Nice
No problems at all..

So let say how I install it,

1} Restore DMG on a 40GB disk2, name: Mac OS X DVD Install.

2} Download the file: Snow_Installer_V1.1.zip

3} Unzip to my OSX 10.5.8 Desktop.

4} Ran the Installer and follow the prompts , install to " MySnowLeo " Drive.

Now the next step I did different.
I open my " Mac OSX Install DVD " and I can see what your script did.

5} So I ran the install from installation package. And when the install was Done, I didn't reboot.
I ran the install script again. And add kext's that I needed.

6} Open a Terminal and did the following:


* sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions
* sudo chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions
* sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/NAMEOFSNOWVOLUME
* sudo touch /system/library/extensions

7} Reboot the system, it did rest.

Snow Leopard 10.6 Install and running in 64-bit mode.

USB = working

8} what I need now is to the following, " command-Line "

When I open Pacifist I get this error:

Sorry, One or More of the following command-Line tools was not found.
/usr/bin/lsbom,/bin/pax,/bin/Mkdir,/bin/chmod or /usr/bin/update_Prebinding.

So how can I fix this


Thank you. Good Job on that Script.

u r welcome... and im glad to hear u have ur snow up and running...

and for setting 64bit in boot plist... have u tried "arch=x86_64"?

not too sure about pacifist... maybe u need upgrade to the latest pacifist which supports snow leo? havent used pacifist in a while so i dont know...

and good job on finding another way to use the script...
