Mighty Mightor Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hello, thanks to this guide, I finally managed to install SL 10.6.2 on my Asus P5QL-E + ATI HD4670. But I'm facing a problem which causes the system to be nearly unusable: From time to time, the system freezes and the mouse cursor shows a multi-colored spinning wheel. No disk activity. It is not a hardware/performance problem. Maybe BIOS settings or kext related. Have no idea. After a while (usually less than a minute), the system is running fine again...until next freeze ! For example, the problem can occurr when importing video from my HDV camcorder with iMovie. And the import process stops after only 2 minutes of tape captured. Did you already had such a problem with your hackintosh ? How did you solve it ? Note: I don't have such a problem with my virtual SL (10.6.3) running on Win 7 under VMware Player 3 on the same hardware.

Mighty Mightor Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Replying myself. I did a fresh install without the support of PATA drives and now it works just fine. SL definitely does not like PATA drives. If you need them in Windows, don't disable them in BIOS, but just do not install the PATA kexts.
