Wondering what your recommendations would be to patch Apps to work in Snow Leopard, I've seen a listing of Marvins and AMD Patch Utility, but they look like they were released for just Leopard? I can run basic functions in Snow Leopard on…

I've attempted to install iDeneb v1.5.7, iAtkos v7 on my system, it gets to the point of a grey screen with the spinning beachball but gets no further. I have not added any kexts to help my install and not sure if i need to or not. I have…

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction? What should I use to get this card to work, I have iDeneb 1.6 installed, when I boot up I get a grey screen with a silver apple. If I try using -x it just goes black. If I need a kext can…

Is it ok to have to use -x to install iDeneb, if I don't use it, the install goes to a grey screen and the beach ball keeps spinning. Since I haven't been able to get my install working correctly I was worried maybe i was keeping it from…

“Will this correct issues with Apps in Snow Leopard?”

“These P5N-E owners have got it to work, check this thread out. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83092”

“When you did the install, did you choose to install a bootloader like Chameleon? If you didn't, go to kexts.com, go to downloads, bootloaders, and download the RC4 package, install it while within Leopard, reboot. Keep in mind that if you h…”

“Is your ATI HD3600 built into your mainboard, or is it a seperate PCI card? I had issues with my built in HD4200 not being supported and had to purchase a EVGA Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 1GB Check out this link, lists all the cards that are know…”

“Also disable your onboard ethernet (may be the cause for the waiting for error...), and sound if you can in the bios. If not make sure your network cable is unplugged from your ethernet port.”

“sahandii, When installing try using the safe mode option -x and see if that makes a difference. Also being on an AMD rig myself, the only success I have had with a Snow Leopard install was using the Hazard Snow Leopard Client Server ISO. So…”

“Nice Bunglehaze!, I will definitely try that out and report back. Thank you srs5694, you got me a step farther than I was and I appreciate all your help. --- SUCCESS! Thanks Bunglehaze, that did the trick, didn't even need to patch by using…”

“Thanks for this. I see Marvin's Patch Utility in the Applications folder now, however when I click on it, nothing appears on screen? Not even an error. I saw the HD light running, then it stopped.”

“srs5694, My frustration has come from weeks of not getting any response to other questions, it finally came to a head with this issue. I'm not trying to offend anyone, it would just be nice to be responded too, I know I am not the only one …”

“Come on.. some one? I have to say when i first found this site I was willing to donate to keep it running, however I'm not seeing a whole lot of help going on... I'm usually a patient person... but this is just ridiculous...”

“I know I need to patch cpuid's, but Marvins nor Zeophyroths patchers will run... I'm running on the legacy kernel which I an guessing doesn't have on the fly patching is there a kernel for AMDs that does right now in Snow Leopard?”

“Thanks SportsGuy for responding to me, I agree I'll eventually get it, like I did all the other steps however after finding success of the install it would just be nice to have it done and over with and I know there are people on here that …”

“I have to say a big part of my frustration of this whole thing is the lack of help I get from others on this forum, luckily Bunglehaze and I have tried to help one another, however I have only had one other member answer my post, pretty fru…”

“Actually have Hazard running now, but yea I can't get itunes to run or kexthelper, its really strange.. I can't get the AMD software patch utility to run either”

“I'm having this same issue. I've downloaded Hazard from numerous areas thinking maybe it was the ISO. But apparently not, last thing I see is "Starting Darwin" and then the screen resets and the computer begins to reboot, don't even have th…”

“Hey Bunglehaze, does Marvin's patcher work for you, in your install?”

“I finally got it working on my system using the Hazard Client Server ISO, it detected my video and dual displays right away, got my sound working and it detected my Atheros Wireless card and I am connected... However I have run into the sam…”

“When I try to install Hazard it just reboots, I don't even get a chance to see the first setup screens, i've tried all the tags to get in, even safe mode and it kicks me out... did you have that problem as well?”

“Yea thats the one i used, its Leopard, I was confused at first. I am in the process of trying to update, once I figure out how to do that I will let you know. I know for starters you need to update the kernel to VooDoo, as the Lawless insta…”

“I've been going through the same issues as you, doesn't work in iDeneb, doesn't work in iAtkos, doesn't work in Hazard…however I finally found success using LawlessPPC. I needed to use safe mode -x to install, which went through successfull…”

“Definitely try safemode, and look at the page I gave you with the video cards that are supported. Safemode should at least get you fully into Hazard so you can add and remove the right kexts... I still have yet to be able to get into a dist…”

“Without any success with iDeneb and iAtkos, and Hazard i thought i would give LawlessPPC a try. Well what do you know it worked. I have to use -x to install it. Then during the start up installation i fell into that keyboard/previous accoun…”

“Ok I have since purchased an EVGA GeForce 9500GT 1GB. The system profiler recognizes the video card which is a step in the right directon... or so I hope. I have installed and reinstalled iDeneb 1.6 numerous times with success, but when it …”

“Thank you spalek83 for responding to me Also thank you for the link, i would have been lost with out it.”

“Possibly a step further... Tracked down a copy of iDeneb v1.6, during the install I used the Hardware Info segment in the install menu. Within the list it states "1002:9710 Ati Technologies, Inc. Error: Unknown Device" Since I knew my video…”

“Ok so I got a little bit further on my own. I had not tried using the -x option as of yet, so when I did I actually got to the install screen, was able to utilize the disk utility for partitioning and formating, and it did the complete inst…”

“No problem. When you pop the disc in and boots, hit F8 so you can enter the options -x -v -x being safemode, I had to use this to install both of my versions. If it appears to stall, let it sit, its likely looking for something, and might s…”

“Which distribution and version did you download? iAtkos, iDeneb, Hazard, LawlessPPC?”

“I'm at the same spot as you in regards to dual/tri-booting. Just found this tutorial on insanelymac. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=207585 Check it out”

“I was wondering if you were installing Mac OS to a seperate partition or drive. I definitely recommend doing one or the other as it will affect your current install of Win7. You will need to get a bootloader installed that will allow you to…”
