Retail Snow Leopard on Acer Laptop

[Draeconis]

Recently I've been trying again to install Snow Leopard on my old Acer Travelmate 8202.

 

Intel Core Duo T2300 CPU Rev. C0 with SSE3 support

i945PM Chipset (Rev. 03)

82801GHM (ICH7-M DH) Southbridge

2Gb DDR2 RAM @ 266Mhz

ATI Radeon x1600 GFX

 

I've written a custom com.apple.Boot.plist and a custom smbios.plist based from information I've got from dumping my bios and dsdt from Linux, and some information from CPU-Z in Windows.

 

I'm using the PC EFI 10.5 bootloader.

 

I'm using the following kexts;

 

fakesmc.kext (2.5)

EvOreboot.kext

ATIinject.kext

ATINDRV.kext

 

I put fakesmc.kext in /Extra, and the rest in /Extra/Extensions

 

In com.apple.Boot.plist I'm trying to boot with the arguments;

 

-v -legacy cpus=1 idlehalt=0

 

Currently, the system will not boot the disk, and ends;

 

acpi_smc_platformplugin::start - waitforservice(resourcematching(appleintelcpupowermanagement) timed out

 

disabler.kext or the other two kexts designed to block the searching of this do not seem to work, whether appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext is present or not.

 

If I change the boot argument to;

 

-v -x -legacy cpus=1 idlehalt=0

 

This makes appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext start, but then the system hangs earlier on;

 

BootCache: hit rate below threshold (10 hits on 3036 lookups)

 

I'm a bit stumped, I can't really diagnose why this machine isn't booting, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone?

I have the same AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement error and I finally got around it thanks to this thread using the -legacy boot flag. However, I would like to be able to use it in 64 bit mode and without setting a boot flag for each boot. Any ideas?
