Morten-TB- Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have googled and searched for hours and days. And i can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to install snow leopard on my desktop computer. But when i try to boot a cd or usb it just restart when loading the informations. It can't even get to the install screen. I have tried installing the relases by Hazard and i have even tried the old ideneb lite which i had working a year ago or so. But none of i works. It just keeps on rebooting. So i have tried installing a Clean retail version of Snow leopard using the RC4 Chameleon bootloader, to no avail though. So know i thought i would try to add some kext files to my retail version of Snow leopard. But that's not so easy. The only thing i can find is old guides from 2007. So my last hope is you guys :-) Setup: GA-MA770T-UD3P AMD Phenom II 720 Black Edition 4Gb Kingston Value 640 Gb Hdd Radeon 4870 1gb I really hope someone could point me in the right direction. Because i'm really pulling my hair right now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 so what is your actual question, how do i put kexts into the installer? if so, follow this great guide here and at the point after you have installed the myhack package to the USB drive, put the kexts you want in the "Extra" folder that the myhack installer created and rebuild the mkext using the pfix utility from the same site (its on the download page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my computer still restart during loading of files. Is there anyway to deny from re-starting? Because i'm running in verbose (-v) mode with force kext "-f", but i don't have a chance a seeing the error before the computer restarts. I maybe saw something about Nv_inject. and if that's true, my computer are loading a geforce driver. Am i right? Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dvd drive has stabbed me in the back, so i'm without dvd drive atm :-( But there is no way to delay verbose mode right? I would love to see what my computer says just before it shut down :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 try looking at the board again, there are several topics for LiveUSB drives as well, try those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten-TB- Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 try looking at the board again, there are several topics for LiveUSB drives as well, try those I don't mean to be rude, but i have done that plenty. And i always end up with a computer rebooting when i'm trying to boot from the usb :-) And i know i have had Mac Osx on this machine before. So it is possible. But how i did it, i don't know :-) Can't anyone tell me if it's possible to halt the reboot, so i'm able to read the verbose log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten-TB- Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I have found out what the error right before reboot is. It says the following: No SMBIOS replacement found Patched DMI Table Found SMBIOS System Information Table Using SMBIOS UUID='30303234-3144-3844-4481 Using system-type=0x01 efi_inject_get_devprop_string NULL trying stringdata That's what i get right before reboot :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
