Snow leopard not working with AMD Phenom II X4 CPU

[jasapple]

I have nbeen trying for quite a while to get my Computer to run sow leopard. I already have leopard 10.5.6 on it and its a bit shaky, but i works. And I've done everthing the guides have told me to do to instal it but i always run into some issues.

 

1.) When I try to get the Hex from EFI Studio I can see my video card and I dont know how to add it. I don't know how to add the devise either. and when i try to edit the DSDT it says i dont have proper permissions but when i change it it still won't let me edit the file.

 

 

My build:

AMD Phenom II X4 940 3GHZ (clocked to 3.15)

Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H motherboard

western digital 1TB HHD

sigma shark 635 PSU

Nvidea GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB

Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gaming case

2x2GB OCZ 1066Hz ram

DVD drive

wireless keyboard and mouse (logitech)

acer x193w+ 19" montor

 

Please help!!! I've spent sooo much time on this and I really need some help!!!!

Well, you have to do a lot of work to run snow but its possible.

 

First you need a working leopard system.

Then restore 10a432 dmg to a usb hd with guid scheme anf hfs+ format. Unmount and set active with fdisk in terminal.

Install chameleon rc3 into usb hd. In /extra/extensions on usb hd install fakesmc.kext and nvenabler.kext and appleatiata.kext for snowleopard made by andivand (look at infinitemac new releases). For video 8400gs 512 only worked for me with this enabler, never with efi strings or graphics enabler from chameleon. For audio use voodoohda.kext in /S/L/E and delete applehda.kext For sata, if your have waiting for root device error on boot, put in bios ide_sata in ahci mode.

create a extensions.mkext in /extra with kextcache -v 1 -t -m /Volumes/your usb hd/extra/extensions.mkext /Volumes/your usb hd/extra/extensions

Create your dsdt.aml with dsdtpatchergui. (you may need to decompile it wit iaslme and edit to fix cmos reset, and compile it with iaslme). Place it in /extra.

The download modbin test7 or qoopz kernel and delete mach_kernel form usb and cpy on it the kernel you download renamed to mach_kernel.

Boot from usb hd an install to a empty guid partition. The when it finish boot into leopard and repeat all steps to the snow installed partition.

And restart in this parttion, and maybe you are done...

Good luck.
