Hi Guys,

i'm a new user and I have the insanely idea ;) to install snow leopard on my notebook.

I have an acer extensa 5630G with the following spec:

- intel core 2 due T6400 2GHz

- 15,4" WXGA LCD

- Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3470 128MB

- 2GB RAM

- 250GB HDD

- Audio Realtek

- Broadcom NeXtreme Gigabit Ethernet

- Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN

 

I tried to install the Hazard 10.6.1-10.6.2 but the installation stop on the following instruction:

Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key>

 

I have upgraded the bios of my notebook and i have setting up the AHCI.

If someone have suggestion, I will appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Bye

I tried hazard distro 10.6.2 and 10.6.6i and iATKOS v2 S3.

But with all installations stops at the same point:

 

Waiting on <dict ID='0'> <key> IOProviderClass </ key> <string

ID = '1 '> IOResources </ string> <key> IOResourceMatch </ key> <string ID='2'> boot-uuid- media </ string> </ dict>

 

Looking on the internet I think I have understood that this message is normal but

then the installation should continue detecting the boot device and should

display a message like this:

 

Got boot device = IOService: / @ MacRISC2PE/pci f4000000/AppleMacRiscPCI/ata-

6 @ D / AppleKauaiATA / ATADeviceNub @ 0/IOATABlockStorageDriver/IOATABlockStorageDevice

/ IOBlockStorageDriver/ST3320620A Media/IOApplePartitionScheme/Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 @ 10

 

that I do not see.

 

I think that the disk drive of my notebook is not detected by the installation of

Snow Leopard.

My laptop has a single 250GB SATA drive which was initially

assigned all to Windows XP. Now before tryng to install the SL I

repartitioned with gparted leaving the initial part of the disk (100GB) to XP

while the following 150GB free on which to install SL.

 

I ask who can help if the problem is due to a wrong partition

disk.

Thank you.

I continue the update of the state of my installation hoping that someone can help me.

Now i think to have solved the problem of the disk.

I have specified in the boot the command -v -x -F rd=disk0s2 arch=i386.

Now rhe distro 10.6.2 hazard see the disk.

Probably specifing the disk and partition the installation go ahead.

Now I have another problem. I have this errors:

 

IOPCCardBridge:start failed

USBF 0.918 Apple USB0HCI 0x3b75000::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded - sleep forced

 

At this point the installation stop and don't go ahead.

I hope that someone can help me to bypass this problem

Thanks

Hi guys,

i have tried all distributions of snow leopard (hazard 10.6.2 and 10.6.6, iatkos, ideneb, ecc) but no one seem to work with my notebook.

There is someone that say to me what is wrong, or if my notebook not is compatible?

Thanks

 

Bye
