cmartin64x Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have a Dell XPS 1640. I managed to install Snow Leopard with 10.6.2 seek files sharing : with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.0 Patched for PC You need a USB dongle with at least 8gb. Make sure you set device mode when flashing. Also, use default setting during installation. After boot in safe mode and delete the file ATIRadeonX200.kext. You should be able to boot normally. No success at installing network and wireless. Any one on this ? Can u use a kext from Leopard release on Snow Leopard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been successful with installing Leopard but not Snow Leopard using iAtkos v7. Also, by just deleting that kext that you mentioned does that give you higher resolutions?

cdcdude Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 So I've managed to install Snow Leopard via the usb flash method, but I can't get it to boot. When I boot -v it gets Stuck at DSMOS has arrived..=( Can anyone please make my life easier and help me out. I've been working on this for a week straight now, researching and losing sleep. I was able to install iatkos v7 with no real problems, if thats of any value. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to manually remove the atiradeon200.kext manually in debug mode. As I said earlier you need to download VoodooPS2.kext for it to work and uncheck PS2 driver in the installation. There are no drivers for the video card (not Leopard nor on Snow Leopard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel G Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I installed Snow Leopard using Empire EFI v 1.085 booting with -v -x install did gone well after restart it did remain on the window for login where you must set an user and password, i did set them but the button Continue and back were locked and all moving ok using usb mouse, because the track pad did not function, but the keyboard did, so i did a restart, i did think it may be from my video card, so i did boot same but having -v -x -s and then delete all ATI files, rm -r /S/L/E/ATI* and reboot after that using efi cd just choose your partition where yo have SL and it should boot fine, no network, no wifi, no audio, i did not tested other things.
