I tried installing Snow Leopard on a Spartan Laptop. I use the rebel EFI boot disc then put in the SL disc then i get a KP saying something before it happening "Secondary IDE Channel Disabled"

I took out the IDE DVDRW but that does not help. i am installing through a USB-SATA controller to a SATA DVDRW. i have read this problem is because i dont have the proper driver for my IDE dvd drive in my laptop. i am using the Snow Leopard retail DVD to install

 

core 2 duo t7500

Intel PM965 Chipset. ( has AHCI, no RAID)

4GB of DDR2 667 (2x2)

Nvidia 8600 GT 512MB dedicated graphics card

500GB WD Scorpio blue series hdd (AHCI mode)

IDE DVDRW

Realtek ALC888 sound

camera

card reader

this is a MSI GX700 laptop basically. I read you can replace the PIIXATA kext with a patched one but how do i do that to the DVD so it will go past this kernel panic and start the installation?

Leopard 10.5.8 works fine on here however..

 

Any help?
