daimeon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi there, first to introduce myself. I've been using Leopard on a hackintosh for 2 years now. The specifications are 3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Gigabyte EP35-DS3 ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series 4 GB 800Mhz DDR2 500GB Harddrive SATA Mac OS X 10.5.8 (yet) So I tried to install 10.6 on another hard disk (SATA) in the same computer, temporary removing the Leopard disk. I have been able to install Snow Leopard and boot using the chameleon boot loader. Now to the problem: I am only able to boot into Safe Mode and I needed to add the following alterations to the boot.plist: PCIRoot=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes When I try to boot into normal mode the screen goes grey and there's some graphic noise in the top left corner - then the system reboots. This also happens when I'm booting with the -v kernel option. My guess is that there's something wrong with either the kexts for the motherboard chipset or the graphics cards. I am still able to boot into safemode and I am still able to boot from the other harddisk 10.5.8 Anybody some ideas? I'm really open to suggestions right now, since I've been trying to do it on my own for a week now. (that's reading forums, tutorials, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
