Hackintosh on Intel, Freeze on »Loading Darwin/x86 …«

[goldt]

Hello,

 

I have the following problem:

 

I tried to install Snow Leopard on my Intel, but it freezes at »Loading Darwin/x86 …«.

 

What I did:

- I mounted my PC,

- configured my BIOS like described below,

- booted with the Generic ISO that i got in this tutorial Hackintosh Tutorial: Install a Mac Leopard OS X Retail DVD on a PC

- on the boot prompt I pressed ENTER

- I replaced my boot CD with the Snow Leopard Retail DVD

- I pressed fe and then F8

- I chose the Installation Volume

- Then it gets stuck at »Loading Darwin/x86 …«

 

Anybody an idea, whats the problem?

I tried already -v, cpus=1 -v and so on after F8, but it didn't work... He just aded »Loading HFS+etc« and got stuck then...

 

I really would appreciate your help. I'm already getting quite desperate after trying everything for days.

 

thanks, carola
