Pre Setup

notes
1- for nforce chipset you must use sata dvd drive also you must set sata on ACHI mode
2- for amd chipset i think all all drive will work but raid mode not work also perfer sata DVD drive and HDD on ACHI mode
3- read updates before follow guide as it will contain new softwares , new ways and solutions

Needed Tools

you will need
1- blank cd for BootCD
2-Apple snow leopard Retail DVD burned on dual layer DVD or you can restore the dmg on USB Flash memory 8GB
3-free HDD to do on it new install
4- you need update 10.6.5 combo
5- tools for after setup

How to perpare setup source

1-you can brun dmg on dual layer DVD use your perfered program for burn
2-or  you can restore dmg on flash 8gb for rapid setup also you can apply MBR  patch to setup mac on MBR tables on HDD if you dont like GPT tables
follow MBR patch from here after you restore dmg on usb flash 8GB do it

this picture show how to restore dmg on usb flash memory 8GB

============================================

Setup

1-Boot from boot cd
2-when you reach to chamleon remove bootcd and put Apple DVD and then press F5 and choose DVD to boot it
or if you have restored it on usb flash memory put it before opening pc and choose it when bootcd reach chamleon
3-if it booted to installer there are no problems and continue setuping
4- if you cant reach to installer boot with flag -v  and picture where it stop and make post on topic
5-after setup do restart

============================================

After Setup

1- to boot your installed mac use bootcd to boot this partion contain Mac
2-after it booted do your account and reach desktop
3-after reaching desktop setup 10.6.5 combo update and restart and boot also from bootcd
4-now we prepare to boot from HDD follow that
*setup latest bootloader from here
*or you can install bootloader manually

we will use AnVAL5.0.5 folder on aftersetup tools
follow this
- run terminal
-type Diskutil List
- you will find all of your partion see where is your mac partion you setuped on it and see what its name like disk0s2
- type sudo -s
-type cd  then pull AnVAL5.0.5 folder to terminal then enter
-type fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskx as x is the numder of HDD if we use above example will be 0 so it will be fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
-type dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskxsn  x is number of HDD and n is numder of partion if we use above example it will be dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2
-then copy boot file from AnVAL5.0.5 folder to mac partion root

*now there are two files on after setup folder named ( pfix , amd_insn_patcher )
   copy them to usr/bin   use show hidden files program to go to this directory

* now copy two kexts fakesmc , atiata to system/library/extensions

* open terminal and type this command

sudo -s
		 rm /mach_kernel
		 amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched
		 cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
		 update_dyld_shared_cache

this was for kernel

*then put mach_kernel file from folder aftersetup on mac partion

*put you other kexts on system/library/extensions
* open terminal again and type

pfix

*type password and then type number of mac partion then enter and wait till finish
*make new folder on mac partion and name it Extra and put on it this boot.plist
 com.apple.Boot.plist.zip   750bytes   1912 downloads

*now we finished installing and now you restart and boot from HDD
*you can complete updates from software update

=============================================

for drivers
*audio you can use voodoohda
*eth you see here about LAN
*GFX nvidia cards will work with with out any effort
for ati you can get HD5600 HD5700 HD5800 HD5900 with out effort
*for anther gfx cards dont ask me

===============================================
updates

if you want to donate you can donate valv to buy AMD pc to make tests on it to add support for amd on bootloader topic  here

This guide is for AMD

CONTENTS
1-Pre Setup
2-Setup
3-After Setup

Pre Setup

notes
1- sata mode --> ACHI
is perfared because
IDE kexts causes some times panic during runing scripts
Raid will cause panic during machine check by Snow
2- many people have restart loop during booting so you need this flag
Busratio=16 or busratio of your processsor
3-For Intel CORE IX user you can follow this guide because vinalla kernel on 10.6 or 10.6.3 not support core ix
so just follow guide till update to 10.6.4 and dont install legacy kernel .pkg
There are two ways to setup snow leopard on your AMD pc

First Way

*It is easy way
*You will need 1-BOOTCD
2-RETIAL DVD
*I made boot cd contain { legacy-kernel 10.4 , Fakesmc 319 , Ati&NforceATA , ps2 , ATY_init , Chameleon rc5 rev 384 , flag busratio=16 }
*Download it from here
*Retial snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD from any source
*Burn them under windows by poweriso

Second Way

*It is complicated way some thing
*You will need 1-pre installed mac os x
2-Flash Memory 8GB
3-Retail DVD
4-Some tools download it from here
*First Partion your flash memory by MBR method and format it Mac os Extended (Journaled)
*Then Setup Chameleon RC4 to flash memory
*After Successful Install of Chameleon Restore Retial DVD to Flash memory with out erase like on Image

* It will take long time dont worry
* After restoring
*delete Mach_kernel that on flash memory after restoring show it by this or this
*copy mach_kernel that i linked above to flash memory
*copy extensions folder and boot.plist to extra folder on flash memory
*If You want to set up snow on HDD partioned with MBR Follow This
there are two files copy them on flash memory as directory mentioned
*now You are ready to setup

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Setup

For First Way

*First boot from Boot cd
*When chameleon boot screen pop up ask for Retail DVD
*eject Boot cd and put retail DVD
*Press F5
*The name of DVD will apper stand on it
* if you want to use any flag write it ( i already added busratio=16 ) you dont want to write it
*Now Press ENTER and wait till set up screen apper
*This Way is easy but slow some thing than flash and you cant set up snow on MBR HDD

For Second Way

*Boot from flash memory
*write flag that you want to write ( i already added busratio=16 to boot.plist ) you dont want to write it
*Now Press ENTER and wait till set up screen apper
*This Way is complicated some thing but fast and you can setup snow on MBR HDD

The way to setup Mac OS X IS Known I will pass it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boot After Setup

For First Way

*After set up you will use boot CD to boot your partion contian setup of Snow Leopard
*Stand on Partion and press flag you want ( i already added busratio=16 to boot.plist ) you dont want to write it
*complete set up to become on desktop

For Second Way
*After set up you will use Flash Memory to boot your partion contian setup of Snow Leopard
*Stand on Partion and write This flag
hd(0,1)/mach_kernel
*complete set up to become on desktop

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Setup

* Now we finish our work
*First download 10.6.4 update from apple
*After Setup Dont restart
*Setup Chamelon RC4
*after Setup boot loader put your boot.plist that contian flag busratio=16 on extra it is very important to next step
*After thus setup legacy kernel it will add kernel name to boot.plist we added before and patch CPUID
*before you reboot you must install FakeSMC.kext use Kext helper from here with latest Fakesmc
*Now you can Restart
*After restart you can now install your kexts you need eth , Audio , GFX
*There A good library for kexts from NAWCOM thanks to him you can download what you want from here

* For sleep use this but your usb may not work after sleep

Big Thanks to all Software programers whom made all thing on this topic

---------------------------------------------------
updatw 9/10/2010 important
people whom have problem from bootloader cant work after install just follow this command

1- download this new tools
2- you will find compressed files we need for boot loader i386 folder uncompress it
3- run terminal
4-type Diskutil List
5- you will find all of your partion see where is your mac partion you setuped on it and see what its name like disk0s2
6- type sudo -s
7-type cd  then pull i386 folder to terminal then enter
8-type fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskx as x is the numder of HDD if we use above exapmle will be 0 so it will be fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
9-type dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskxsn  x is number of HDD and n is numder of partion if we use above example it will be dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2
10- if this done successfully  copy boot file from i386 to mac partion
11- now it must boot from HDD  


people whom cant deal with new kernel please do this
1- download above tools
2-you will find two files mach_kernel and amd patcher
3 run terminal
4- type rm /mach_kernel
5-copy mach_kernel on tools to mac partion
6-now patch some files
7- first copy amd patcher to /usr/bin
8- run terminal again
9- type this command

sudo -s
   amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/dyld /usr/lib/dyld.patched
   cp /usr/lib/dyld.patched /usr/lib/dyld
   amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched
   cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

now you finished patching

you need to add to boot.plist
on kernel flags
-force64
this flag important to run on 64bit

people whon have problem with fakesmc panic
there are fakesmc on tools free from plugin use it

and run pfix  

good luck

-------------------------------------------
14/10/2010
new bootcd 0.6
just small fix replace 64bit (-force64)
to normal 32bit
as 64bit cause problems after setup with nivida cards gery blinking black screen
enjoy it  

---------------------------------------------

how to update to 10.6.5
you will download 10.6.5 update from apple combo if you will setup it on 10.6.3 or less
http://support.apple...Combo10.6.5.dmg

or use update only if you have 10.6.4
http://support.apple...SXUpd10.6.5.dmg

then after download setup it
and after set finish
bont restart
and backup this two kexts to safe place

IOUSBfamily.kext
IOUSBmassStorageclass.kext

then put this two old kext on extensions and pfix
http://www.kexts.com...10.6.4_usb.html

if you didnt do this you will lose usb
ithink relase of 10.5 kernel will fix usb bug
so no need for this but now you must do this

[sirbow2]

it has saved me alot, if i mess up my retail install i fall back to my other install to fix my retail
when you said

* For sleep  use this but your usb may not work after sleep

what did you mean by "usb may not work after sleep" when i use the  kext i get the "usb using to much power" error

[sirbow2]

so im assuming you have no idea on how to enable sleep via dsdt or to fix the usb power usage error

[Mohamed Khairy]

my dsdt have many error    that i fixed it finaly with help from oldnapalm
if you have fix of sleep write it  

[CoryFerg]

this (Source ) that you say i need, can i put Mac OS X on two 2 regular dvds instead of one dual layer becuase i dont have a dual layered drive...???

ok

you have 8gb flash

so from windows

setup vmware work station

and set up snow leopard on it and use this for perparing flash memory

if you dont know who i set up snow on vmware i will guide you

[sirbow2]

instead of using osx to copy the DVD to the Flash drive you could use the linux DD command ex.

dd if=retail/dvd of=flash/drive

you mean copy under ubuntu live cd
what about usb error have you found asolution

[sirbow2]

Quote

correct! i had to do it on a old PC that i was experimenting with

Quote

what about usb error have you found asolution

i believe it is caused by the USB ports being detected as "Expansion Slots" instead of "Built In", this can be fixed via DSDT, but i havent had any luck yet
