baohbab Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi - I'm new on insanelyMac but I've been using an hackintosh for a while now. I was on a 10.5.5, I bought the Snow Leopard Update from Apple Store ( I have the CD - for about 30 $ ) and I tried to install the update using this tutorial : http://www.insanelymac.com/2009/08/how-to-...-pc-hackintosh/ But... then, when I booted, I got a "Still waiting for boot device" or something like that - I also got an error on step 5, the installation process showed "Could not install some files ... ". Now I just reinstalled a 10.5.2 (without having updated anything because I want to go directly to Snow) and I want to know WHERE can I find a tutorial on how to install Snow or to update my Leopard. Here are my specs : -> Motherboard : Asus P5B Delux -> CPU : Intel 4 cores 2.66 Ghz. -> RAM : 4 GB DDR2 -> Hard Disks : 1 000 Gb WD @ 7200 RPM (the one where is installed my current Leo) and a 150 Gb WD @ 10 000 RPM empty (I'm gonna install XP on it to play a few games). I have no problems with the sound or the graphical engine but I just want to know how did you guys updated to snow leopard, do you have a good tutorials working ? Please... PS : If note : could you link me to a 10.5.8 combo update working please... on insanelymac they says that I have to install the updates like any other mac users but I don't believe that...

imacken Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 There are dozens of superb tutorials in these forums. You really need to look around a bit!!! Seriously, you will not get useful replies to posts like that! Just look around and use the search and look in the 'install' forum and the 'Genius Bar'.

Ichixgo Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 greetz dude, how about typing "P5B Deluxe 10.6" in the search tab ? just try to set up a totally vanilla system and then just see what works after the installation and try to fix the non working parts ; ) or just follow this link ^^ PM firezero and pm the guy because he has a retail snow leopard running on your board ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs3xr_fun Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 i don't know about the upgrade dvd but i was able to install full retail with the tutorial Ichixgo mentioned. all i had to do was add VoodooHDA.kext to the KEXT folder before i started running the scripts. the attached file is what i have on my efi partition to have it running but you have to add you own video efi string to the boot.plist EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelkhan Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Also, I recommend for the install, click on the options screen and get rid of everything but the base OS and Rosetta. That solved the "some things did not install" error for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
