hi all, just wanna share this simple installation method, it’s been 23hours since I run it and didn't find any freezing problem until now.

 

system :

 

- X2 555BE unlock to X4 B55

- Vaikoo VA-880G

- MSI GTX460 Hawk

 

tools :

 

- new bios for Vaikoo VA-880G

- download Nawcom ModCD

- Snow Leopard Retail DVD

- download [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (I use v3.7.0)

- download Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update

- download AboutThisMac Fix

 

installation :

 

- boot with Nawcom ModCD

- eject Nawcom ModCD and insert Snow Leopard Retail DVD then press F5

- choose OSX86 Installer

- and go to install

 

notes :

* on the installation screen open Utility -> Disk Utility

* partition your hard drive to GUID (but Nawcom ModCD would allow you using MBR Partition to install Retail)

* format your partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

* close Disk Utility

 

wait for atleast 25minutes ‘til the installation complete, then RESTART!!!

 

- eject Snow Leopard Retail DVD and insert Nawcom ModCD

- boot with Nawcom ModCD

- Start Mac OS X

- complete some registrations and settings

- and VOILA you get your first Mac OS X desktop, CONGRATULATION!

 

continue to post-installation :

 

- install Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update

- do not reboot

- open [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], if close automatically, just reopen it

- [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.7.0

# UPDATE 1

 

- edit AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext for lower Cinebench Score problem, and IMHO also solve freezing problem, add your graphic device id to info.plist :

<key>MacPro5,1</key>
		<dict>
