zetaridley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Okay, I'm really excited right now, I just got snow leopard to boot on my amd machine. its 10.6 with no updates at all. I have a few questions though, I installed and updated and the next time I went to boot it wouldn't, and I've just finished a clean second install. I figured out it wouldn't boot before was because I didn't update the legacy kernel before I went to reboot. But there a still a few things that I need to figure out, like how to enable my 5830 vid card. Do you know where I can find the kexts for that? Also, its there a guide for updates? I've read a few and they've all said that you just need to run the legacy kernal package installer before reboot, is it that easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodguess Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Congratulations, another AMD box up and running! Did you read this guide too? http://www.osx86.net/desktops/9746-guide-os-x-10-6-amd.html An yes, updating with combo update + legacy kernel is easy.

ZØØT Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I managed an update from 10.6.2 Retail to 10.6.8 Software Update (not so easy). I did it before I read about the 10.8 Legacy Kernel fix, so, the hard drive sat for a while doing nothing. I installed IOPCI_AppleACPI (evil) kexts from 10.6.7 using my old PPC to move the files to the EXTRAS folder on my OSX86 USB drive. I'm up and running--but--Quicktime is flaking out on me. Back to the grind-- Update:Quicktime is working fine now. I used Marvin's AMD Utility--it's all good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
