retail install. anything specific that needs to be modded.

Hi all.

 

I have been trying to install snow leopard on 2 different systems.  One is an intel core i3, the other an AMD.

 

I used legacy kernel on my boot disk and was able to get pretty far into the installation.

 

BOTH computers will give me the GUI grey screen with a black mouse cursor.... and I can move the mouse.  however, after some time, the cursor changes into a multi color spinning wheel and thats where my journey ends.

 

My theory is everything is setup correctly in BOTH systems.  however, I think a check is being done to see if MAC OSX can be installed on these systems and the system is saying no.

 

...I've tried multiple versons and distrobutions of MAC OS X to get a running hackintosh for about the better half of a month and this is the closest Ive gotten so any help to seal this deal would be greatly appreciated.
