Like a good little boy I followed the following instructions for installing snow leopard to my intel pc.

I got through the installation pretty easily the rebooted for the first time following the completion of the installation. Thats when I hit some issues.

 

It wouldnt boot (kept hanging at the Verifying DMI Pool Data) so I through googling figured out I needed to use a cd bootloader - which is fine because I can fix that up later (hopefully!). ANow that Im using the cd bootloader I get past that spot and on to the grey apple screen with the scrolling icon below which goes for 5 seconds or more before the I get a blank screen and no further action.

 

From what I could research via googling it relates to my gtx 280 video card which requires its own kext. I found a kext file which apparently contains drivers for all the gtx 200 range.

 

First question - do you think Ive made the right assumption with the blank screen meaning a need a kext for my vid card? And secondly if thats the case how the hell to use the kext file I found?

 

I cant boot into my pc that I want to put them on although I do have a macbook pro with me running OSX Tiger.

 

Can anyone give me some advice please?
