Hi

I'm trying to install snow leopard on my HP dv6-3160 laptop with core i5 460M. I have ripped my installation disk as soon as i recieved it, to prevent the problem that I can't reinstall OS X because my disk is broken, now that has happened and I have succesfully restored my DMG-copy of my installation disk to a USB-flash-drive(8GB), and when I try to boot up with the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disk, I freezes after detecting that I have a Realtek RTL8xxx Ethernet-card. Then I gave it some time to see if it was continueing the loading process, but no. It tells me:

Still waiting for root device

Still waiting for root device

Still waiting for root device

Still waiting for root device

Still waiting for root device

Still waiting for root device

What do I do now to get my Mac OS X working?

I have another PC running SL 10.6.6, and working fine exept graphics, if this would be needed.

The installation guide I used to make this Installation USB:

The only thing I didn't do was installing and setting up the bootloader, replacing the boot-file, and copying the Extra-folder to the USB, because I tried that earlier, and then I either get a kernel panic or the PC just restarts right before I get to the apple boot screen.

 

How do I come to the installation screen and install OS X?

When installing from my restored USB i use this guide: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ ... -x-on.html
