Bernardo Lopes Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hello, These days I upgraded my PC, and then, wanted to try again to install Mac OS x86. I tried to download the "Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_Intel_AMD_made_by_Hazard" version (which seems to have the kexts for my MB), but after the "press any button to boot into Darwin or F8 for other startup options" screen, the Apple boot screen flashes for less than a sec, and then my computer just reboots (tried to put "-v" into boot options, nothing appears about errors). I want to know if there are any commands to make it enter to the installation screen. Specs: Motherboard: MB-X58I-CH19 from XFX (X58 Chipset) Processor: Intel Core i7 920 RAM: 6GB DDR3 Video Card: Nvidia 9600 GT 1GB RAM Thanks in advance. P.S.:I don't have a way to burn, or put into a flash drive, an ISO with more than 4.7GB. P.S.:Sorry if this is a noob post, and sorry for any English mistakes, I'm not a native speaker. EDIT: Recorded a video of the boot messages; below is a screencap of right before the reboot: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208686-mb-x58i-ch19-problems-to-boot-installer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Lopes Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well... I just tried to both update my BIOS, and to use another "distro" (in case, SnowOSX Universal v3.5 (10.6) ), but neither helped. The former didn't affect the boot of the installer (still reboots), and the latter does like the Hazard version. Does anyone have an idea of what's happening, and what can I do? Thanks a lot.

Bernardo Lopes Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just tried 10.6.2 SnowOSX Universal for Flash Drives, restored the image to my SD Card, and now my boot hangs in "AppleDecrypt: Starting...". I tried to search, but no luck. Does anyone have an idea of what can be happening? Please!

GideonH Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 You won't believe this... I found the solution! --------EDIT-------- IMPORTANT!! USE THE IATKOS DISTRO --------------------- --------EDIT 2-------- If you want to dual boot (with windows 7 for example) Easiest way to acomplish this is to use 2 HD's and use the first one for OSX86 and the second for Windows. (OSX can be a pain in the a** because it wants to be the first) --------------------- Change this in the bios: -Change CPU Cores to "1" -Turn Hyperthreading Off -Under the Advanced tab go to drive configuration and change IDE to AHCI (with our motherboards it's under a different tab, I'm not at home so I can't check now) After the installation you can change the CPU cores back to "All" Then select these settings when you get to the installation: -Chameleon Boot Loader (uncheck PC EFI V9) -Apple Decrypt -DSMos -SMBIOS-EFI -SMBIOS-Enabler -AppleSMBIOS-28 -9.5.0 FASSL Kernel -X86 ACPI -DISABLER.KEXT -Graphics Update -NVKush (depends on what graphics card you use) -Intel SATA -Intel AHCI Sata Worked perfectly for me!
