apusoft Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hello everyone! I would like to install Snow Leopard on my old notebook Dell Inspiron 6400; I read many guides, tutorials about the installation process but I have immediately find the first problem... The specs of my laptop are: CPU: Intel T2060 @ 1.60GHz (2 cores; support MMX and SSE 1,2,3) Chipset: Intel i945PM Southbridge: Intel 82801GHM Memory: 1GB DDR2 Graphic: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 I'm trying to install iATKOS S3 (Snow Leopard 10.6.3) from a USB flash drive. I created the USB bootable using ddmax.exe utility (Leopard hd install helper). Well, I start the PC and I choose the USB boot, then I press F8 and type -v. The results are: Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.1321022MB memory VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS) Loading Darwin/x86 Loading kernel mach_kernel Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 422d480 Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 422d480 Nothing else; the system freeze and it remain in this state. I tried to combine the flags -v -x -f arch=i386 platform=acpi -legacy but nothing change the freeze. What could be the problem? How can I fix it and start the installation process?

Bret Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I feel your pain. I have pretty much the same hardware, but my video is the ATI x1300. I can't find a tutorial that isn't bogus, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
