Snow Leopard by Hazard Problem I have a little problem with installing Snow Leo 1.6.2 by Hazard on my PC. I have my SATA mode set to AHCI and there are no problems with installing any of Leopard (1.5.6, 1.5.8) distros, but this one doesn't want to cooperate though. When…	Snow Leopard 10.6	11,158 reads 2010-05-10 · 9 notes
Need some files from retail SL install some time ago, I finally managed to install Snow Leopard on my PC. I can't install retail version, because Empire EFI doesn't work for me, so I'm using Haazaard's distro. It works fine, but they've changed some files (added ugly distro's…	Snow Leopard 10.6	6,599 reads 2010-06-29 · 10 notes

AnV XNU 9.8.0 V1.6 “Thanks, works good for me so far. Even iWork '09 doesn't crash randomly at start anymore, as it did on Qoopz 9.8.0 The only problem is that I get a kernel panic at shutdown, which didn't happen on Voodoo 9.5.0 (photo)”	10.X Core	2009-08-28 95,354 dossier reads
Install Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on AMD Phenom II 920 “That's bad, since I thought that my inability to boot the installer comes from wrong BIOS settings Anyway, I would change a little bit in your tutorial - if you don't want to mess with all the bootloader and BCD stuff do it like this: Befor…”	Snow Leopard 10.6	2010-05-23 62,613 dossier reads

iATKOS S3 released :) “if you read through the release notes, you will se that even though they include the kernel, the dvd is NOT compatible with AMD...

iATKOS S3 released :) “That's nice Support for AMD isn't mentioned on their forum (it says "iATKOS S3 Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Intel DVD"), but since the installer has option for qoopz kernel and VIA SATA, I guess it should also work for AMD. I'll try it tomorrow. Tha…”	10.X Core	2010-06-14 49,173 dossier reads
Snow Leopard by Hazard Problem “I can't, since I have no Leopard installed now, and the script in that folder is written for OS X. But I'll try if I have access to some Mac.”	Snow Leopard 10.6	2010-05-15 11,158 dossier reads
Snow Leopard by Hazard Problem “OK, I've tried it a moment ago and it doesn't boot into windows, but gives me "memory allocation error" even before the bootloader shows I tried removing some RAM from my PC, but it didn't make any effect...Anyone had that problem ?”	Snow Leopard 10.6	2010-05-14 11,158 dossier reads

Preparing usb drive no mac “Well, Ubuntu's utilities can partition a pendrive using GPT, so this part souldn't be a problem. I guess there's also a way to "restore" partition from ISO file, so you could get a DMG image of Snow Leopard disc, convert it to ISO and then …”	Snow Leopard 10.6	2010-05-28 10,312 dossier reads
Preparing usb drive no mac “If you can, just install iAtkos, use it to prepare your USB drive, then erase iAtkos' partition and install Snow Leopard with prepared USB drive on it.”	Snow Leopard 10.6	2010-05-27 10,312 dossier reads

How to install OS X on same drive with already installed Dell d820 with W7Ultimate “You have to modify installation image, so it would allow you to install OS X on MBR disk. Check this out : pra sys.co.cc/2009/08/installing-snow-leopard-for-osx86/”	10.X Core	2010-06-29 5,971 dossier reads
Apple in advance discussions to adopt AMD chips “That would be good... I think AMD based Macs wouldn't be much cheaper than Intel ones, but at least that would mean better osx86 support for AMD (being able to use vanilla kernel and working power management... would be very nice )”	10.X Core	2010-05-05 4,956 dossier reads
AMD Phenom II 720 “Try "Snow Leopard Client-Server 10.6.2 by Hazard". Set your "SATA mode" in BIOS to "AHCI".
