ChefDude Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi I think I've worn out google and the search on this site doesn't seem to work here in my office I'm quite happy getting my hands dirty - multiple windows install experience, ubuntu, fedora, suse, etc, but OSX has me totally foxed! I have retail Leopard install (10.5?) and Snow Leopard Upgrade disks and a mac mini 2ghz too. The best progress I have made is getting a kernel panic after booting from a snow leopard restore on a usb stick with the MACLoader patcher. If someone could answer these, I promise I'll go away and try and figure it out For my setup, should I start with Leopard or Snow Leopard? Can someone advise which boot loader is the best option using a vanilla install disk? With my mobo and gfx card, which kexts do you suggest I start with? I have set the bios to AHCI and tried to match the bios settings with those in the lifehacker tutorial - is there anything else that is a *must* set option? Do I have to tell the boot information what cpu, ram, etc I have - does it reject the boot if the hardware doesn't match what is in the boot config? Thanks in advance Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
