[help] Installing Snow Leopard

[maxlife]

Hi guys,

I trying to install hazard distro 10.6.2 and 10.6.6i and iATKOS v2 S3.

But with all installations stops at the same point:

 

Waiting on <dict ID='0'> <key> IOProviderClass </ key> <string ID = '1 '> IOResources </ string> <key> IOResourceMatch </ key> <string ID='2'> boot-uuid- media </ string> </ dict>

 

Searching with google I think I have understood that this message is normal but

then the installation should continue detecting the boot device and should

display a message like this:

 

Got boot device = IOService: / @ MacRISC2PE/pci f4000000/AppleMacRiscPCI/ata-

6 @ D / AppleKauaiATA / ATADeviceNub @ 0/IOATABlockStorageDriver/IOATABlockStorageDevice

/ IOBlockStorageDriver/ST3320620A Media/IOApplePartitionScheme/Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 @ 10

 

that I do not see.

 

I think that the disk drive of my notebook is not detected by the installation of

Snow Leopard.

My laptop has a single 250GB SATA drive which was initially

assigned all to Windows XP. Now before tryng to install the SL I

repartitioned with gparted leaving the initial part of the disk (100GB) to XP

while the following 150GB free on which to install SL.

 

I ask who can help if the problem is due to a wrong partition

disk.

Thank you.

Well i think to have solved the problem of the disk.

I have specified in the boot the command -v -x -F rd=disk0s2 arch=i386.

The distro used is 10.6.2 hazard.

Probably specifing the disk and partition the installation go ahead.

Now I have another problem. I have this errors:

IOPCCardBridge:start failed

USBF 0.918 Apple USB0HCI 0x3b75000::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded - sleep forced

 

At this point the installation stop and don't go ahead.

I hope that someone can help me to bypass this problem

Thanks

Hi guys,

i have tried all distributions of snow leopard (hazard 10.6.2 and 10.6.6, iatkos, ideneb, ecc) but no one seem to work with my notebook.

There is someone that say to me what is wrong, or if my notebook not is compatible?

Thanks

 

Bye
