Espionage724 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Here is what I did: - Obtained a Snow Leopard Retail Disc with 6GB - Restored it to a partition on my HDD I have Chameleon RC3 installed I tried - Booting the Install DVD from Chameleon - It got through -v mode, came to a gray screen, flashed blue, then went to gray and showed a mouse in top left. System either is taking forever to load, or hangs at this part - Installing from OS X Leopard onto the other partition and then booting from Chameleon - It doesn't leave -v mode. I see no actual stopping error or Kernel Panic's at all. I tried - Replacing 950gma graphics kexts from 10.5.5 to 10.6 (fail) - Using the kexts that come with Chameleon (fail) - Using dsmos (not really fail, but didn't help get past -v) Help? Hardware: Intel 950GMA (laptop) Intel Celeron M 420 @ 1.6Ghz (supports 32-bit and SSE3) I have DSDT btw EDIT: the last 3 messages in verbose look strange... Previous Shutdown Cause: 3 systemShutdown false SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en0 error=17 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192410-snow-leopard-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espionage724 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Really? Nobody has ANY idea at all why SL won't boot? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192410-snow-leopard-not-working/#findComment-1301151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Got it working finally, needed a 950GMA EFI string (which worked) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192410-snow-leopard-not-working/#findComment-1301201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xosx86 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Got it working finally, needed a 950GMA EFI string (which worked) Glad to see you got it working I am really hoping you can help me get mine working as we have all most the same hardware. My specs: GMA 950 Intel core solo SSE3 I was away from the hackintosh sites for a while and I am a bit behind to say the least. Could you please tell me how you got SL to work... PLEASE I would be VERY grateful to you. The part I am really lost on is DSDT. Would you mind sharing yours??? That would be a big help, thanks in advance!

Beerkex'd Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Do not use other people's DSDT, it is particular to the motherboard, BIOS version, amount of RAM and installed CPU. You need to extract your own and patch it (google, or use the forum search). You can, however, use other peoples DSDT for inspiration but you should always try to edit the existing code in yours (as far as possible) rather than replace it with someone elses.

Thanks for the infoZ! I have the tool to patch my DSDT but get permission denied for some reason. Yes I enter the correct password. I saw there is somthing new out for chameleon where you don't need to hack DSDT..... is that correct??? If so how do I use that as it may be easier ? Thanks in advance for any help!

Beerkex'd Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 No, that is not correct. You can use DSDTSE to edit your DSDT: http://www.osx86.es/?p=610 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192410-snow-leopard-not-working/#findComment-1302053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a good guide to install SL on my gma950 / Intel core solo? I am not a total noob but do need a bit of help I am running kalyway 10.5.4 right now. Thanks!

Beerkex'd Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 How do I know what to edit? From reading a lot. There's lots and lots of information around the OSX scene forums about DSDT editing. DSDTSE comes with a few code examples too. Try searching and see if someone with the same motherboard as you are working on their DSDT. About the other questions, no idea, sorry.
