kdetech Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (The post underneath is an orriginal brainstorm that needed additional changes i.e Chameleon i've released y completed project here) How to boot a Snow Leopard retail DVD. What you need 1. Snow Leopard untouched retail DVD 2. Boot 132 loader made for LEOPARD (http://www.mediafire.com/?uwd9dtttjfk) 3. Fake smc kext for snow leopard(http://rapidshare.de/files/48166173/fakesmc.kext.zip.html) The steps Step 1 Include the fake smc kext in the initrd.img situated in the boot 132 image. Step 2 #1 - Burn .iso on a CD; #2 - Boot this CD; #3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD; #4 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files. Step 3 Install Snow Leopard and enjoy. Thanks for the posts regarding using boot 132 for leopard, to help ake this guide a reality. This will only work on a vanilla capable PC, so no AMD. Alternatively you can add dsmos.kext for snow leopard instead on fakesmc http://rapidshare.de/files/48111002/dsmos.kext_2.zip.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great a new .img file and then injected it into the iso with winiso (in windows) Alternatively you can use a method like explained in this thread for leopard.

sbeehre Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 why dont you just include fakesmc in the initrd.img and put it on rapid share rather than getting everyone to add it themselves... ive always had trouble when adding kexts as i get an image checksum error or something like that when i try to boot the cd.

iSynapse Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Isn't Snow Leopard supposed to boot only using chameleon RC1 and PC_EFI 10.1 ??? You say that using a normal boot-132 and fakesmc.kext it should boot like good old Leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i try to boot from it, the computer just skips over it. because you have to start from scratch every time you make a boot-132 disc for some strange reason. otherwise it gets skipped over.
