Hi guys!

I installed Snow Leopard using the OSInstall.mpkg from a retail disc running inside 10.5.6 which was installed a moment ago on a slack partition only for installing SL. Installation went fine, i installed the latest Chameleon and PC_EFI 10.2. Then i added the four kexts mentioned here http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-inst...-on-a-pc-t3137/ and fixed perms etc. The files are FakeSMC, OpenHaltRestart, PlatformUUID and NullCPUPM. I deleted the JMicron kext as i know it caused problems back in Leopard and i dont use any IDE drives.

 

1st reboot) Kernel panic without reference to any file or process etc.

2nd) Disabled my overclock and booted with -x32. Got to the new user guide and finished it no problem. When desktop showed i got a panic. See the attached picutres.

3rd) Boot with -x32 again, this time i got to click a button in some window that popped up before the panic, but it was almost instant anyway.

 

Any reboot after that i get a panic almost as soon as the icons and menu bar load up. What could i have done wrong?

 

My specs are as follows:

Intel QX9650, 4x 3Ghz.

8GB RAM

ASUS P5E mainboard

Nvidia 8800GTS 512MB (G92). Added using efistudio.

 

I have run 10.5.8 before, flawlessly without any panics, and all possible flavors of windows so im sure that my hardware is fine.

 

EDIT: Solved myself by using Chameleon /boot instead of PC_EFI 10.2 boot-file.

I installed using OSInstall like you but then booted with Empire EFI and used the included myHack installer... I've been with the project since Tiger and I have to say it was the easiest install I've ever done!

 

I'm a noobie here. I have osx 10.5.8 installed on my system. Can you post a detailed step-by-step procedure on how to install Retail Snow Leopard on the Asus P5E system?

 

My system configuration is as follows:

 

Asus P5E

WD SATA 500GB

Core 2 Quad Q6600

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB

 

Thanks,
