Hi,
use this to see if it is possible on your machine System Info, an app to get hardware and kexts info
then if everything is fine, use ###### to install mac.

replaced link to version of systeminfo.app that was uploaded without creators permission, name of it changed and no aknowledgement given-with link to thread started by and approved by app's author-same app

1. Yes it's possible to boot retail DVDs of Mac OS X on a non-Mac machine. It involves using a boot CD, which loads a special bootloader (Chameleon) and kernel extensions such as FakeSMC.kext to boot on a PC. Chameleon emulates the EFI on real Macs, and FakeSMC emulates the system management controller on real Macs. This allows the system to boot using the vanilla kernel (if the processor is supported).
2. Call Apple and tell them you want a Snow Leopard disc. It's $29.
3. Don't patch the retail DVD.
4. Retail installations of OS X tend to have less issues. Also, you learn everything in the process. When installing with some random distro, you won't know anything that's going on.
5. Buy it from Apple. Or torrent it (make absolute sure it's a retail DVD if you do).

For a Snow Leopard retail installation guide, go to HERE. Good luck with your hackintosh!

EDIT: Can you put some more info? For example, what Broadcom WiFI card the laptop has, and what graphics card the laptop has.

Don't worry about the cpus=1 unless after you do boot, it freeze and un-freeze over and over every few seconds. For now boot using:

-x -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No

have you already partitioned out your drive into smaller ones? It's possible to have multiple operating systems on one drive, there is a limit to the number of logical partitions supported under mbr format, so 5-6 may be too much unless you install windows to guid. there are how-to's available for different options, since normally putting multiple os's on one drive is usually only done on laptops, it's not my area of expertise, I keep them on separate drives. a quick forum and/or google search should get you answers to any questions, if a specific question comes up you can't find an answer for, start a new topic for it.

[eep357]

repair file permissions using Disk Utility. If that doesn't work, SL was the last OSX where it was possible to enable built in ntfs driver that Apple included in the OS, but did not make active. Google "enable osx 10.6 ntfs driver" or similar and will find how to's

[prashantloveguru143]

i installed this one "New version for 10.6.6 (kexts): http://rapidshare.co...7AE_10.6.6.zip"

and one more question though my machine is 32bit why it is showing osX as 64 bit (x86_64) ????

how to boot with i386 architecture???

[eep357]

to boot 32bit and make graphics work, look at post I made right above this one, at boot prompt type:

arch=i386

can we run this "arch=i386" at the time of installing or at any time after install because i already installed Hackintosh???........also answer me why  it is showing osX as 64 bit (x86_64) though my system is 32bit???

[eep357]

First: Yes, you can just type it at the Chameleon boot prompt, same place you would type -v or -f. Later if you want it to be more permanent and not have to type it every time, you would add it to org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Second: your core 2 duo CPU is 64bit, the bios may not support 32 bit, but because Chameleon is emulating a Mac's EFI instead of bios, it still makes it possible to use 64bit. Only problem with running 64bit, is Apple does not make 64bit drivers for GMA950/945, they are 32bit only. So for them to load and work, you will need to boot with arch=i386

open terminal and type, or copy and paste:

sudo chown root:wheel /

press enter and it will ask for your password, type it in and hit enter. You won't be able to see anything as you type it, but it is entering your password while you type it, just invisible

then type, or copy paste:

diskutil repairPermissions /

hit enter
