Hi. Finaly I made it...

 

My specs:

 

Snow Leopard retail

Asus p5q deluxe

Ati 4850

And a full HD screen

 

It is a retail install. I used rebel to boot up. I had to install in safe mode. After I had installed I got an error saying that there was an error or something. I rebootet in safe mode and installed all the kext needed.

 

Driver for adi 4850.

KextUtility.v.2.4.2.full.SL.x64.ready.by.cVad I used this after installing all kext... dont know why I did it, just did it...hehe

 

I did this in safe mode.

 

I have a vga dvi adapter in the ati card near the main board. And use the second for my monitor.

 

Restarted and wow...)) It worked. Full hd. Audio working, network working. Hope this will stay like that... Have not tested it for long... (I installed the audio kext after I started SN. I just use the rebel as a start up disk. Have not installed something from that cd. I would like some help to make it start up without the disk. I have not tried to start up without it. (empireEFI wont boot SL)

 

Things that dont work: sleep, dont set your monitor to sleep, shutdown. It seems like its shutting down, but my pc is still on... Then I have to do it manually. Restarting is working.

 

 

 

I did update to 10.6.2 (software update) No problems.

 

Only thing now... should I install the rebelEFI? But then I have to pay...

I bought the RebelEFI installed rebelefi.pkg But I still have to use the boot disk to boot... Why? Should it install the efi bootloader so I dont have to use the cd?

 

When i push the HDD snow leopard icon it only take about 16sec to boot up:-) Wow thats fast.

 

First I installed it to a temporarly hdd just 250gig. Then i used Superduper to transfer the SL disk to a better hdd and larger 500gig. I swaped the disks and voila it startet like normal:-) With the boot disk off course...
