I have done some pretty extensive searching for this KP and I've found many posts with the same KP or ones that seem similar, however, I've not seen any definitive answers yet. I've also tried several different guides that have all fallen short of the one listed below. I'm currently running Leopard 10.5.8 flawlessly, just curious to see what Snow Leopard is like!

 

System Specs

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 Rev1.0

BIOS: Award Revision F8

Northbridge: AMD 770

Southbridge: AMD SB700

Onboard Audio: ALC888 Disabled - Using Sennheiser PC-155 USB Headset

Onboard LAN: Realtek 8111C

RAM: 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Blackline DDR2 1066 @ Stock Settings

Processor: AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition @ Stock Settings

Video Card: eVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB @ Stock Settings

 

Kernel: Attempted the following, all with the same results:

modbin 10A432 kernel

Snow Leopard kernel by qoopz/nawcom! [intel/AMD], Updated to 10.2.0!

Voodoo XNU Kernel is now Released, get it from Google Code

 

Guide: [AMD] Installing Snow Leopard 10A432 on AMD System, Running Snow Leopard On AMD n Non Vanilla Kernel User

 

Kexts: I used Kext Utily to create Extensions.mkext

AHCIPortInjector.kext

ATAPortInjector.kext (Needed for AHCI?)

Disabler.kext

IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext

JMicronATAInjector.kext (Needed for AHCI?)

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

PlatformUUID.kext (Inserted UUID of the drive Snow is installed on)

dsmos.kext (Tried with just this and no fakesmc.kext, same result)

fakesmc.kext (Tried with just this and no dsmos.kext, same result)

 

I have IEEE 1394 Disabled in the BIOS and my drives are running in AHCI Mode.

Using a retail SL disc that was restored to an 8GB USB Drive.

Current DSDT.aml is attached.

 

Any help would be appreciated :)

scififan68, thanks for pointing that out! I had already done that, but it got me to thinking: Shouldn't I be booting from the drive Snow Leopard is installed to instead of the one Leopard is installed to? Turns out that was why I was getting a kernel panic!

 

I successfully booted into SL, however, when I restarted my BIOS had reset itself, and after resetting everything and attempting to boot back into SL I got stuck at the grey apple logo. Could this have been caused by my dsdt.aml? I remember applying the CMOS fix, not sure what else it could be.

boot into verbose mode and take a pic of where it is hanging at.

Writing this from Snow Leopard, thanks a ton for your help! I can't believe I copied over an old version, bad file management FTL :D

 

So, now that I have it up and running, is there anything crucial that I should do next? Is the process of moving to 10.6.2 Combined a pain in the arse? Are there any tweaks etc. that I should know of?

 

Thanks again for your assistance!
