Installing Snow Leopard 10.6 retail on Intel 945GCNL MOBO

[satti]

Hello to all,

 

I am relatively new to mac os(hackintosh) so I want ur guidelines to install SL 10.6 retail on my PC with the following specs : Intel Core2duo 2.0 GHz E4400, 1.5 GB DDR2 Ram, Intel 945 GCNL MotherBoard with GMA 950 Integrated Graphics & ICH7, Western Digital 160GB SATA HDD & Seagate 160GB SATA HDD, Onboard Lan of Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) and Onboard High Definition Audio of Realtek family with ALC888 codec.

 

I have googled out for guides on installing SL 10.6 & found some decent ones, one of them is

http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-install-snow-leopard-on-a-pc-t3137/

. But what i can't figure out is that kexts and other things like smbios, plist, dsdt patching and so on. I also found little bit confusing on why in any one of those guides there is no mentioning of things like Decrypters, Disabler & OHR which I used to install iatkos v7. Is there no need of those in retail installation or is any other reason for not mentioning them in those guides and things like DSDT patching, Fakesmc are mentioned in these guides which I did not use in my Iatkos v7 installation.

And if any body has experience in successfully installing SL 10.6 on Intel 945 GCNL Mobo or knows any guide that Intel 945 GCNL board specific, then please help me with that.

 

As I said I am relatively new to Mac OS(hackintosh) the only experience I have is installing Iatkos v7 10.5.7 & using from one month back onwards after directly updating it to 10.5.8 from apple. Thanks to Iatkos I had no major problems with my hackintosh expect with 'sleep'(when i select sleep option i can hear the sound of hard disks shutting down but display still remains & when i try to access the system it hangs, the sleep is not like in windows where the system almost completely shuts off) and with 'time' the windows & leopard keep on changing the time(if i boot into windows & leopard alternatively the time is changing or showing wrong) i followed some suggestions from this post:

http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/win-7-and-osx-keep-changing-the-damn-t4551/

but no effect. For my Iatkos v7 installation I used the i used the following customize options:

Boot Loader -> Chamelon v2,

X86 Patches -> Extra Directory,

Decrypters -> Apple Decrypt

Disabler

OHR

Remove TYMLE

Drivers ->VGA ->Intel -> GMA950 ->GMA 950 Desktop,

System -> Intel SATA/IDE

System -> Intel Speedstep -> Speedstep Driver -> Throttling Control

Drivers -> USB

Sound -> Voodoo HDA driver

PS/2 Mouse / Keyboard -> Apple Ps/2 driver

NTFS - 3G

Network -> Wired -> Realtek -> Realtek R1000

 

As I said I haven't had any major problem with the installation using above options.

The Snow Install can be done very easily on your system...

If you have a second drive remove the cables from your good install.

 

If you have usb sticks now is the time to put them to good use.

Your gonna have to have one thats at least 8 gigs.

the other one can be a 256 meg for the bootloader. but if you know how to make your own on a cd then you should be fine.

 

Now go to this website http://osx86.sojugarden.com

 

This has everything you need to get your build up n running.

The site isnt designed to troubleshoot (use insane or infinite for that what ever you feel best.

 

Point to take when you have your usb sticks handy n ready. dont be afraid to just use your boards bios as default at first.

 

After you install snow on your drive n finish installations .. install the same bootloader to your SL Drive.

 

i hope this helps you out BTW i tried many the site i recommended did help out alot.
