I'm trying to install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 with Pentium D 805 2.66 GHz processor. I've read on the OSx86 wiki, that my mainboard is compatible with Snow Leopard out of the box and should be fully working w/o any patches (there is also link to installation instruction, but I can't understand Spanish, and translators doesn't help much in this case). Long time ago, I've installed 10.5 on another mainboard with the same processor and it was working well. I've already tried couple methods of installation from USB pendrive using Chameleon, PC-EFI etc. I can boot the pendrive without a problem, but my PC restarts every time before OS X installer starts - the last thing I can see on the screen is "Starting Darwin" and systems reboots. As a source of installation DVD I have used Snow Leopard retail DVD and Snow Leopard Server DVD, from which I've successfully installed OS X on my MacBook. Please help me, I have no idea what to do next.

 

===EDIT===

 

Finally, after changing kernel to mach_kernel.test7 I'm able to go further. I was getting some kernel panics, but after choosing proper kext's I'm getting something like this:

and nothing more happens.

 

The list of kext's I'm using:

AHCIPortInjector.kext

AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

AppleRTC.kext

Disabler.kext

dsmos.kext

fakesmc.kext

IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext

IOATAFamily.kext

JMicronATAInjector.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

PlatformUUID.kext (modified with correct USB device UUID)

SleepEnabler.kext

VoodooPowerMini.kext

 

I had also "cmos reset" issue, but modifying dsdt.aml solved this problem.

I wonder why I've so many problems with GA-945GZM-S2, the mainboard that should be working "out of the box" according to OSx86 Wiki.

If anyone can help, I will be grateful.
