SL won't boot after install, not even in Safe Mode

Hi there! :)

 

Trouble at sea, so I'll just start with my spec, and then my problems:

Intel Core 2 Quad - Q8200 - 2,33 ghz

Intel X48 Chipset

8 GB 1066 MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM

1 GB ATI Radeon 3870 X2

2xSATA 500gb drives (unsure about the manufacturer, but I suspect WD?)

 

 

So, this is what's up:

 

Trying to set up a PC I don't really use, to OSX Snow Leopard, and I get my hopes up as the install goes smoothly and everything seems OK - until I install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or MyHack after the first boot of SL. Then it just won't boot again.

 

After installing, I get just a black screen with a _ blinking when I try to boot from the disk, and if I boot in safe mode through Empire Efi, I get Kernel panic (see attached picture).

 

I've tried Tonymacx86's guide (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-install-mac-os-x-on.html), both the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] way, and from a downloaded DSDT (DSDT-Intel-BOXDP55KG-1.aml).

 

Then I tried the MyHack from Thumbdrive way (http://andrewmajot.com/blog/2010/08/10-6-snow-leopard-pc/)

 

Now -- I have no idea what's going wrong.

 

A few things I suspect:

 

- I'm unable to specify AHCI-mode in the Bios Setup (Dell Bios A01), however I seem to have read that the RAID-setup for my chipset (Intel X48) should be in AHCI automatically?

- There don't seem to be any DSDT-files specifically for the X48-chipset. Is this simply incompatible?

 

If anyone has any ideas, I'm eternally greatful ;)

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Markus
