Help with snow leopard.

[thereaperman]

Hi,

 

I have decided to try snow leopard again but I cannot get it to boot.

 

I have a USB formatted with the snow leopard retail dvd, that is plugged into my computer. I am also using a USB dvd rom drive for [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

 

I have tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], EmpireEFI.etc but i always get a system hang on the installer:

 

Trying to change a collection in the registry

I also get the same message at the top of the screen just before NullCPUPowerManagement::start

 

I have also tried every boot flag i can thing of:

-x32 -f -x arch=i386 -s acpi -v

-x32 -f -x arch=i386 acpi=off -v

-x32 -f -x -v

-v -x32 arch=i386

 

Nothing works.

 

My machine is a AcerPower F6 with a Core 2 Duo E6??? (Works with vanilla kernel)

It has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset (ATA,etc) My harddrive is IDE.

 

I had this working before with snow leopard but it doesnt work now.
