MacsPayne Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I was running Leopard 10.5.5 iDeneb successfully virtually without any quirks. Now I'm trying to do a fresh install of Snow Leopard Retail version 10.6.3. I downloaded [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] "Supported", booted the Mac OSX DVD and installed everything successfully. However, the damn thing wont boot. If I try to enter via [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] the HD will labor for a long time getting me to the loading screen with the white background, apple logo and spinner. Spend there for 30 seconds and then just stay like that. Okay, so I tried booting directly from the HDD and all i get is "Loading Darwin" and the computer is trying hard to access my floppy drive. That's it. What am I missing here? My setup is: Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.54 Ghz 2 GB PC5300 RAM Hitachi SATA 500GB Integrated video GMA950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacsPayne Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hackboot got me booting alright but now I have a myriad of other problems. GMA950 installation package that I used on 10.5 no longer works on 10.6. It installs without errors, i reboot, still graphics adapter is some default thing running at low resolution. Audio is busted, couldn't reuse the .kext from 10.5 either. D-link DWA-140 USB dongle works intermittently. I got drives from Realtek and it'll work for a while then stop. I put it into a different USB port and it'll work again, and stops again after a while. Rinse and repeate. I even successfully updated from 10.6.3 -> 10.6.4 but that did not alleviate my problems. try with HackBoothttp://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=220312 use -x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
