this is my system cnfig:

gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H (AM2/ddr2 - AMD 790GX + SB750 Chipset)
amd x3@x4(fourth core unlocked via bios) overclocked at 3.6ghz
4*2gb ddr2 1066mhz
ati hd4850 1gb
hdd and dvdrw sata

this is what i've done for now:
booted pc with OSX86 ModCD 0.3.1, and then swap with SL 10.6.3 dvd and install it.
rebooted again with ModCD,run SL from hdd and then installed combo update 10.6.5 from pkg
again rebooted with ModCD, run SL from hdd and installed Chameleon 2 RC5 from pkg
rebooted from hdd and installed legacy kernel 10.6.5 from pkg found on nawcom's blog

now i have the system working but have a few problem:

when i reboot i have a bios corruption, and i have to restore system default.this happen every time i reboot my system!how i can solve this?

Hi:

bios corruption,--> Use ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext in Extra folder.

Ati 4850-->

Add your device id in plist.

Use Chameleon 2.0-RC5-r8xx/9xx:

and try.

Sorry my bad English, I´m an spanish native speaker

Good luck

this is an example when i try to run kexkthelper, but i've already try with osx86tools, firefox, chrome, dsdt patcher and more!

For the ati 4850 1gb i've noticed that it already have qe/ci active, and it's recognized like ati 4800 series with 1gb of memory!
When i come back home from work i've to make a fresh install, but i've to solve the program installation in first!(i've tryed 2 installation and have the same problem!maybe it's the -force64 flag selected on the legacy kernel 10.6.5 installation?cause with 10.6.3 seems to work with program installations!

Look here:

http://osx86.co/f57/cant-install-new-apps-t7183/

I use Kext Utility, KextHelper not work for me (Snow 10.6.7)

okaiuz · #5 06-16-2011, 07:48 AM

yeah now it is fully working!

i have some other question:

- which is the best way to backup my current installation and restore it if i have a problem?
can i clone my hdd and restore it?which program i have to use?

- i can run snow leo only in 32 bit, if i try to run with x86_64 i have a kernel panic,can i solve this?there's a real difference between run leo in 32 or 64 bit mode?my pc was recognized as macmini 2,1, can be the cause of that?
