Hi all,

 

not too sure whether to post this here or in Post-Installation,

would appreciate some help -

 

I've recently installed Snow Leopard on my GA-X48-DQ6 board + Sapphire Radeon H4870

using LifeHacker's USB guide

I was able to install with

- Chameleon-2.0-RC3-r658

- netkas's PC-EFI 10.5

and

- ACPIPS2Nub.kext

- ATI4800Controller.kext

- Disabler.kext

- dsmos.kext

- EVOEnabler.kext

- fakesmc.kext

- NullCPUPowerManagerment.kext

- OpenHaltRestart.kext

- VoodooPS2Controller.kext

without

- DSDT.aml

- com.apple.Boot.plist

- smbios.plist

- Extensions.mkext

 

I know some of them kexts are redundant, but it's what I've got my system running with.

What I would like some help with, is to boot from my Snow Leopard installation instead of the USB.

 

I've tried installing Chameleon RC3 on the new install (using terminal) + the PCEFI 10.5 boot file into the partition I installed it into, and moved the kexts listed into an Extras/Extensions folder on Snow-Leopard (Name of the partition),

without any luck.

 

Booting up with the HDD with Snow-Leopard on top of the list (w/o the USB) doesn't work, it bypasses to my XP installation.

 

I've tried using Kext Utility and installing each of the 9 kexts that way - Kext Utility installs to S/L/E - not sure if this is right, but didn't work as well.

 

I think the boot file is not being read like it is when I have the USB plugged in. Just would like some advice on what I should be doing to shift the bootloader onto my Snow-Leopard partition.
