kdetech Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Google boot 132 and download it. Mount the iso in leopard. Copy initrd.img to hard drive and mount it. In the .img keep navigating till last folder and paste these two files I provided. Now unmount and ovewrite .img in iso (Can be done in Windows with winiso) (Some Users have had success with my prerelease in osx86 announcements forum) I haven't tried it and hope that you answer whether it worked or not Like I said don't forget to report back! dsmos.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183869-boot-the-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-in-two-steps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You are aware that if you use the one kext you don't need the other! And that you need more than just these files to get it working!

Master Chief Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You are aware that if you use the one kext you don't need the other!And that you need more than just these files to get it working! Conflicting even. And causing a lot of kernel panics when you do – I did this by accident and found out the hard way Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183869-boot-the-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-in-two-steps/#findComment-1250165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredde87 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It doesnt work. Everyone has tried this already. I spent ages including all of my kexts on a boot 132 and it still doesnt boot a retail CD, it does boot my SL partition though so it is userful for recovery but there is something we are missing stopping us from booting a retail SL.

I spent ages including all of my kexts on a boot 132 and it still doesnt boot a retail CD, it does boot my SL partition though so it is userful for recovery but there is something we are missing stopping us from booting a retail SL. I've actually found that missing thing. See my post in osx86 announcements. The only down point is that it can work on any system but the person needs to replace dsdt.aml with one for his own motherboard.
