illitero Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have no idea how to help you, haha. I would run into the same issue trying to install with an AMD specific kernel. I just gave up like a winner. Good luck getting it worked out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythewondersquid Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I got it to work on a similar set up with iatkos v4a look for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellmantt Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I got it to work on a similar set up with iatkos v4a look for it Isn't that Leopard. Christopher A. Moore is talking about Snow Leopard. IMO its a good way to install SL if you have access to a Mac or Hack and a 8GB flash card or external hard drive. Looks like from that error that the instructions were not followed. The myhack.pkg was not applied to the the USB drive after restoring the OS X disc/image to the the USB drive.

I do believe I followed the instructions to the "t" and I did indeed install the myHack.pkg.... any Specific solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can confirm that using myhack worked on a Gateway (not sure what model but it was SSE3). Used my optiplex hack to set up the installer on a external USB drive. Used Chocolate Kernel both for the Installer USB and the install to the Gateway. Don't have access to that computer anymore, so can't tell you what other options were picked,sorry.
