What do you need?

  1. Snow Leopard 10.6 Retial
  2. Snow Leopard 10.6.7 COMBO
  3. EasyEFI or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (should make your like easier if you want to use DOK instead of a disc)
  4. [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]
  5. KextHelper (or any other application you know that can install kexts)
  6. Pack of Kexts (fixing the network, sound and sleep) Kexts_for_GA_P35_DS3L.zip

 

How To Install?

FIrst of all you need to have blank Hard Disk in GUID format of course and load up snow leopard retial installation in any way you prefer. I used EasyEFI disc and then load up the installation via DOK. In the end of the installation i got for some reason failure that saying it couldn't install completely the OS. However when i did a boot from the Hard disk all goes well without any problems except for the bios configuration that we will fix later on.

 

We almost finished, we have a few more steps.

After the snow leopard loads completely you need to open a few windows without proceeding the wizard:

  1. [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] package
  2. KextHelper (or any other similar application)
  3. Window of Finder with the kests that should fix the sound network and sleep.
  4. Snow leopard 10.6.7 COMBO

Now all you need to do is start installing Snow leopard 10.6.7 COMBO but after it finishes the installation Don't click on Restart button.

Now after the installation complete go to [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] package window and check these boxes:

  • IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
  • ElliottforceLegacyRTC
  • EvOreboot
  • fakeSMC
  • NullCPUPowerManagement (if you are having mouse lags)
  • Chameleon 2.0 RC5 Prerelease and you can use any theme you like

Proceed until it completes.

 

Now for the last part. Open KextHelper and drag all the kexts from the finder window to it, and begin the installation. Now all you need to do is to restart your computer and if you still having the bios configuration problem just restart again and everything will be OK.

Finally you have everything works flawlessly: sound network sleep (awakes with the power button though) except the Graphic card that you need to figure out by yourself what is the best way for you.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this Guide.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've noticed that things have been relatively unstable the past 2 weeks. Not sure if it was an update I installed or what...Any browser I use will just crash randomly at any moment. Whether it's Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. I haven't really seen a pattern. The Console logs reveal no reason why either, just "Firefox exited with an exit code of 1".

 

OS will sometimes randomly crash and require a reboot. It usually comes back up fine, but it's always during something simple I'm doing like just listening to Pandora through the AIR app.

 

Anyways, I'm going to re-install all the kexts again and see if that helps.
