blouis79 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have a retail copy of OSX 10.6 and I am trying to install Snow Leopard on my HP ProLiant ML110 G5.[...]Can someone please help me, I am a completely newbie and I havent got my head round all these kexts and kernels etc... Please help. I am a newb too. I understand from doing lots of reading that one has to be very careful with having supported hardware for a smooth experience. I have very similar hardware. The beginner guides are very clear on what hardware is known to work and not. Even supposed EFI hardware, depends on the clever people here fixing kexts http://www.tomshardware.com/news/asem-efix...eleon,8617.html I note you say you have a PCI-E graphics card. ML110 G5 motherboard does not have a x16 PCI-E slot which nearly all modern graphics cards require. I have an EVGA 8400GS PCI card because it's all I could find that would fit. Please advise card manufacturer and model number.

Please advise card manufacturer and model number. You can find a PCIe x1 GeForce 8400GS fairly easily, albeit at a higher price than the x16 it normally comes in. It would be cheaper to cut the card to fit the Proliant, which is what I did.
