[ayeaye06]

Hi - has anyone gotten retail Snow Leopard to run on shuttle SX58J3? If so can someone provide a quick run down of the process?

 

Thanks in Advance

Anyone? Is anyone working on a DSDT for this? I have managed to get Snow Leopard installed. I haven't been able to get networking to function, my GeForce 7600 GTS wasn't recognized. It was a monumental task to find the right distribution to make it through the setup.

Which distro did you use for a successful Snow Leopard install?

My SX58J3 tracking says 'Out for Delivery'!

I used the chameleon bootloader dvd, booted to I think the Vanilla 10.6.2 OSX disc, ran setup -v-x-f. I had a lot of issues getting all the way through the install but it finally made it. I was trying to run it in RAID as well so maybe that was some cause for issue. I managed to boot in, sound was working, USB wifi working, couldn't get the bootloader instaleld, my 7600 GTS was not recognized which was odd. I couldn't install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. It would start but fail to complete. It's now sitting in my closet. Im hoping someone has a better process or puts together a distro or something. Otherwise I'm gonna put windows on it and give it to my brother I guess.

So Ima hackintosh n00b and this is my first build.

 

The Shuttle SX58J3 is up with 10.6.6 and everything working.

 

A. Install 10.6.3 with ModCD 0.31

B1. Install 10.6.6 Combo update (don't reboot until step C. )

B2. Create DSDT.aml on Desktop via DSDT Autopatcher (use Generic settings)

B3. Install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with User-DSDT option.

C. Reboot
