I've installed SL on my machine via Empire EFI 1.085. I've basically followed this:

My specs:

 

Asus P5W DH Deluxe (2604)

Core2 Extreme QX6700 2.66GHz

eVGA Geforce 7800 GT 256MB PCIe

2 GB

Samsung SSD

Samsung SATA optical

 

The only thing I haven't done is install the extra kexts, like VoodooHDA, USB2 EHCI, or NVenabler, because I'm encountering a problem.

 

I'm having random DMG mounting issues. This happens about 95% of the time, which makes it kind of random. When I attempt to open a DMG via the Finder, I get a dialog box saying the DMG can't be opened. I've attached a screen cap of what the dialog looks like. I also try mounting the DMG via the Terminal and here's the output:

...

Now, I've tried re-installing SL multiple times, and the same dialog occurs. There's a random chance I can open the DMG, and things are well. However, most of the time, it doesn't occur. I've pretty much isolated the problem to when I install the myHack package. When I boot off Empire and before I install the myHack package, I have no problems opening DMG files. However, when I run myHack, installing the bootloader on the hard drive, and reboot, I start encountering this issue. I've exchanged hardware to see if that's the problem, but it still persists. Has anyone encountered this on their setup? Is this fixable with a kext? Is it possible I don't have enough ram (more is on the way)?

 

Thanks for looking...

Why aren't you just using a retail disk and doing it that way? There are several threads on here already for the P5W and they DO work.

 

Since search is broken on this board, go to Google and type in site:insanelymac.com P5W "Snow Leopard"

I guess I'm mis-understanding what you mean. I'm using a retail SL disk to install via Empire EFI (ie boot with Empire EFI on CD, and then swap for Retail SL disk), which was the "simpliest" method found via google. I am investigating other methods.
