Snow leopard on a Dell GX260 SFF HELP

[RudolphTT]

Specs------->Pentium 4 2.4GHZ, 2GB of RAM, Intel 845G chipset, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics, IDE drive and AC97 audio.

 

Maybe being a bit greedy with the gx260 but trying to get Snow leopard to install. I had helped with IPC Leopard distro 10.5.6 to install and works.

 

I have followed a number of guides online and I end up at the same point. When booting the snow leopard and using switches -x32 -v -f, a list of kext/drivers will scroll down the screen rather quickly for about more than 5 to 10 secs and then (i believe its trying to load) a blank screen. Without the switches, a gray screen with an apple in the middle, but no mouse or keyboard response.

 

From hitting the pause button when the list of kext are loading, the closest i have gotten to seeing the last line before the black screen of death is "efi_inject_get_devprop_string NULL trying stringdata".

 

Without pausing, for a brief flasb before the black screen, i see two words "leaving" and achi.

 

Is there anyone who can please help me or have had success in getting it running?

Been Trying for 2 weeks with no success.

 

Thanks

I also have a gx260 and had success with the C Leopard distro 10.5.6. I would also like to get snow leopard working. Were you able to get this to work after?

 

Thanks!
