Kingawesome Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I need help trying to run snow leopard on my machine, In the past I've worked with JaS 10.4.8 (successful), Kalaway 10.5.2 (Unsuccessful: Loads files (-x), but Won't boot), ToH (successful: Patches needed for Ethernet), And iDeneb 10.5.6 (Successful/Current: Patches needed) Retail with Empire EFI 10.6.3 (Unsuccessful: Loads files, but won't boot) The Patches I used for iDeneb are: Kernel: Voodoo Kernel Chipset: JMicron and ICHx Audio: AD 1981HD Fixes: Seatbelt fix and, IOUsbFamily Fix (both needed to be re-patched several times) Video: NVdarwin-512MB My Specs are: D530 Sff Small Form-factor Pentium 4 (Northwood) 1GB of ram Nvidia GeForce 6200 512MB AGP Pci Network card (a workaround ethernet patch ) 80GB System Disk (ATA) 40GB Time Machine (ATA) and Combo Universal DVD drive (SATA) Is There a Snow Leopard Distro that would work with my specs?

Since then I've gotten Snow leopard to work. I use Hazard 10.6.1 on a USB key, Installed normally from usb, but doesnt boot from any of the bootloaders from the image (Weird) But used Empire EFI with -v -x to boot into Snow leopard!! ... BUT Most drivers needed to be ported over from Previous working distros (mostly iDeneb) Graphics work with NVdarwin (but are utter {censored} EXTREMELY choppy, as far as i can tell no Quartz ) And Safari freezes whenever the apple startpage is loaded... I've Switched back to Leopard :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
