Is it impossible?

[~Snow]

Hello all,

 

So i want to install SL on my machine because of the wonderful benefits, who doesn't right?

 

well i would love any or some help please.

 

I downloaded lawless 10.5 amd/intel - it installs fine, though i have no sound, Ethernet or wifi.

 

I'm getting the retail dvd and will burn after i buy a bigger blank dvd spindle.

 

 

I would love some input on if its snow compatible. Also does anyone know if this guide will work for me : http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide-boot-...d-usb-pc-t3859/

 

Its an HP Pavilion a6530f Desktop PC Man. Web: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...product=3740336

 

Specs:

 

Phenom 2.10 Ghz triple core processor

Socket AM2+

GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipset

Asus M2N68-LA MOBO

640 GB HDD SATA + 12 GB Maxtor HDD ATA

16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive

Modem was removed : lol, lost it actually I added a Trendnet old mimo wireless G/B adapter (wifi)

ALC 888S chipset 8 channel audio

+ Bluetooth usb adapter

Software side:

Removed leo to download snow

Vista ultimate is currently on

 

Is snow possible? and does anyone know if Ethernet/wifi/Bluetooth will work upon installation? where may i have issues?

 

Thank you for any help

The only things I can say that SL uses the RETAIL DVD for installation, so if any special KEXTs or KERNELS must be in the E/E folder of Chamaleon bootloader.

People are saying AMD are trick to install the SL, although there is a Kernel for it.

My main concern in your rig may be the chipset.

 

It would be better to ask some questions on the #snowleopard on the IRC Chat.

 

cheers

I see thank you for the advice,

if at all can anyone confirm this theory

 

I have an external WD 320GB HDD with 40-50GB free, can i use vista's computer management "shrink volume" application and create a partition that leopard can be restored onto and go ahead with a guide. I don't want to destroy my files so i cant format the whole drive. Thank you for any help/advice.

 

Update: SL is finished Downloading, i will try what i believe may work and post back my results,

 

This is what i will try:

 

Install Lawless back--->use either http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/amd-snow-le...-install-t3727/ guide or -----> http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide-boot-...d-usb-pc-t3859/ guide ----> but use my external HDD to place SL iso ---> load with Cam. Bootloader--> hopefully install it..Even if not everything works if i install it i'l just use bootcamp to install windows 7....
