Hope you guys can provide some assistance. I'm having problems installing Snow Leopard. I downloaded the Snow Leopard Torrent by Hazard and unzip it. I then proceed it to burn the iso onto a DVD and tried booting off it. However, after…

I currently have a 3 boot system composed of /dev/sda===>Gentoo /dev/sdb===>Windows 7 /dev/sdc===> Snow Leopard. I'm able to boot into Gentoo just fine, but I cant say the same for windows & SL. I'm aware of other bootloaders out there,…

I'm been trying with several distros, and it appears that the only one that works on my hardware is ideneb 10.5.7. After booting off the dvd, i get to the point where I have to select which partition to use. Here is my problem, I currently…

“cottage1909, By any chance did you run "Marvin's AMD Utility" to patch your system? I tried running it but it keeps freezing? So you installed all kernels and all cmos patches? I wonder if that wouldnt cause a kernel panic since you are ins…”

“I will try your suggestion. As far as multiboot, I've read a few tutorial about dual booting windows 7 & mac and it seems pretty easy. Actually during the install, I think you can select to install cameleon which will let you boot both oper…”

“Congrats! Are you having issues with restart/shutdown? How about audio?”

“Did you change your BIOS settings to "AHCI"? Maybe try booting with the following flags busratio=20 cpus=1. If that doesnt work, I would probably look at the HCL and see where you fit with your hardware. After further testing, my sata dvd d…”

“For those following, I did a reinstall this time without selecting snow leopard server and everything seemed to have gone ok. My network is working, "about this mac" is working and recognizes my amd cuad core and my 4gb ram, etc. I just tri…”

“Thanks for the suggestion, I was aware of that, but wanted to install the server distro. If I cant find a fix, I may just reinstall the client only. So are you able to get to the registration screen? Prior to installation, these are the opt…”

“I tried your suggestion but it didnt work. I simply pressed the 3 & 2 together and powered on the computer but didnt work. If it doesnt work, I think I'll do the install again, excpet this time I wont install the server”

“can anyone provide a valid serial number for snow leopard server 10.6.2? the one i tried using is not working: XSVR-106-000-R-LN2-VLQ-PRW-H6C-44L-XH2-P”

“I went out and bought a new drive in order to try installing snow leopard. Everything went fine, except when I reboot and I get the exact message as someone posted below " "mis-match between kernel and cpu pm". This distro needs the null cp…”

“Maybe someone can help me here. I went ahead and downloaded hazard snow leopard client server 10.6.2 and it booted with no problem. However, I'm running into partition problems. I have a 1TB drive which currently holds windows 7. During the…”

“"After I install on phenom/sb750 system and boot sl. It fails with "mis-match between kernel and cpu pm". This distro needs the null cpu management kext. Anyone know how to add this to the distro from windows? I have the kext." I've had suc…”

“Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and booted off the dvd i created by burning the snow leopard iso and my maching just kept rebooting. I should mentioned that I tried a few times and that I also changed my bios to "AHCI" with no success.”

“I hope someone can help me. I downloaded the snow leopard torrent by hazzard and unzip it with winrar. I then burned the iso image using nero. The size of the iso image is 4,37GB, however when I burn it onto a dvd, I end up with 8 files tot…”

“razy60, Thanks for the suggestion. I will download imgburn and give it a go. 00010, I downloaded snowosx universal 3.5 as I could not find version 3.6 and encountered the same problem. After booting off the dvd, it would always crash when l…”

“Thanks for the suggestion. I'm downloading snowosx now and will report back later. This computer is a new build, but I was able to install ideneb 10.5.5 on an AMD dual core system a few months back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are supp…”

“00010 The thought did cross my mind. Is it as simple as putting the kext and iso file in a folder and then burning them onto a dvd? I've read of patching, so maybe I need to download patch-o-matic ( the name could be wrong) in order to patc…”

“I have a similar setup as yours. You may want to try Ideneb 10.5.8 lite edition. Before you boot, make sure you change your bios setting to "ahci".”

“krillinballz, So basically, after you installed Snow Leopard and fixed the audio, network, sleep, etc., you simply downloaded and installed it with Chameleon Bootloader rc5-rev660 and it worked? I will go ahead and give it a try. Thanks.”

“@ krillinballz I too have been looking for a while how to make my ATI 4650 work..but no luck so far. Could you please explain how you got it to work? Are you getting more than one resolution?”

“thanks for your suggestion. I was thinking along the same lines of creating a fat32 partition and then telling diskutility to format it for apple. Just to clarifiy, i do have a little over 630GB of unformatted space. My issue is that when i…”
