keden Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Use BootCd 0.5 Should install without any flags, if not use -v and -x. Move mouse or press Enter if all that code stop at half screen, it will go further after gets signal from USB. If you get through and have light blue screen with no cursor on it than TURN OFF Monitor TURN ON, should get you to install screen. Always use -v to see whats happening and report to this thread. Make a picture of it and post it. Fully working Snow Leopard(Thanks to Mohamed for 3 days of hard work) on AMD Phenom II X6 Thuban 2.81GHz and ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3, even Audio(internal chipset).

bramodb Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 My first problem is solved i had to put my sata on AHCI at the bios. Now i see my HDD on the setup. And I set it right and start to install but now he's always stuck at 24 minutes left. The blue line is at the begin. He dont move. He don't give a error or something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirbow2 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 just a update (?) maybe. without any kexts or doing anything my 890GPA-ud3h will sleep... sort of.... if i click the sleep button it shuts off all the stuff like monitor etc, but the computer still is running, and i cant wake it up in anyway, but if i then force shut it down the computer boots strait to osx w/ no boot loader like it was sleeping and gives a KP, then i force restart and my computer boot like normal. it probably has something to do with USB as they are detected as expansion slot which i still cant fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not boot any of them. if i put in the boot cd.05 it will load them both just fine. after the install i didnt install any kext or anyting... just the chameleon package.
