ScoobyStew Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I don't know if this thread is completely dead now or not, but I'm trying to use these instructions to install my retail version of Snow Leopard onto my Dell Dimension e520. I actually got it installed entirely, sort of. I can get into the operating system, but when I go to use the OSX86tools.app to install the Intel82566MM.kext and VoodooHDA.kext , it will only let me install the voodoo kext, and not the intel one. I'm not sure what to do from here. I can't connect to the web with the setup the way it is. I tossed my drive with Win7 back into the machine so i could check the forums and see if I could get some help. If anyone has any tips, or maybe knows of a newer install that should work with a Dell e520, please let me know. My basic specs are: Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz 4GB of DDR2 RAM I'd really love to have a fully functional Hackintosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed14 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hey guys. Is it possible to dual boot with this setup if you have 2 separate disks. I've got my install up and running on a separate disk than Vista except every time I want to boot into Snow Leopard I have to use the boot disk. This would be fine and all except in order to get graphics working I need to run efi strings and that won't work if I have to boot from the boot disk every time. Any ideas or suggestions. This guide was really simple and I really do not want to go through all the work of wmarsh's guide to get a dual boot going. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then set the boot priority so that your computer boots fromt hat drive. (So chameleon always loads) You may have to re arrange the SATA ports that the hard disks are installed on. No big deal =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsim Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 After loading boot cd, and I switch to the Snow Leopard DVD, hit enter, some text scrolled thru and screen goes black. I also tried rd=disc0 -v-x also same black screen. My bios is v2.2, does my e520 need to be upgraded to bios v2.4 for this to work? Also, I also tried with hdd installed with windows xp and also empty partition,, all the same black screen after load boot cd and SL DVD. Any help and comments is appreciated.
