ChiefWiggum Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My Old school hardware didnt work.. Is that SSE2 also for you? Mine does not go futher after getting the correct boot device..(keyboard & mouse also dont work) Any help appreciated ! I made it too on AMD old school hardware Here are the specs AMD A64 3000+ ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe nVidia 6600GT SATA HD & DVD Everything is working fine as fas as i can tell.I also edited my dsdt to get rid of the cmos reset and replaced APplenforceATA to make my sata dvd recorder work properly.Everything else (sound,graphics,internet etc) worked from leoaprd installation packages. Everything is really really fast and responsive.i also updated to 10.6.1 and i must mention that from the moment i booted i have not got not a single KP screen. I have been completely Snow Leopardized since 10.6.1 is runnin on my intel laptop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFOnyX Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My Old school hardware didnt work.. Is that SSE2 also for you? No. Mine is socket 939 which means it has SSE3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefWiggum Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 No.Mine is socket 939 which means it has SSE3 :-( Ah well..I havent given up yet.. eBay here I come for the rare Socket 754 SSE3 ! (AMD 3400+ Venice I believe) or somebody is inspired to modify for SSE2 also ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remax Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can confirm that this method worked for me on a non-AMD system. I have two systems, one that can run Vanilla and one that could not. The 945GZ platform is unable to use the vanilla preboot at this time. Note: I cannot get 64bit with this kernel. I personally prefer the 32bit kernel but anyone who is looking to go 64bit will have to wait until another kernel or method is released. MB: ECS 945GZT-M v1.0 CPU: 1.8 Ghz Pentium Dual-Core E2160 GPU: 512 Mbyte nVidia 9400GT RAM: 2 Gbytes Drives: 80gb SATA, 80gb PATA, DVD+RW PATA Spammon, I have the 945CGZ so I am wondering if they have the same issues. I was able to get to the installer and it started out fine. I guestimate that it went on about half way installing SL then I lost video. Did you get to work?

abg Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi arya Thanks a lot man! I got SL running on my AMD rig. I followed the steps mentioned in your post #1. I did not use dsdt. Because I could not compile the aml file. My dsl file was so buggy. I could get SL up and running with EFI strings for nvidia 8400 GS. It worked fine, RTL1000 Ethernet is also working.... patched some binaries with Marvin to get rid of the occasional KPs...now SL is somewhat stable. Everything looks fine except for the sound. My mobo is M3A78-EM. Sound is ALC1200. I tried almost everything, ALC injector, EFI string, patched HDA and HDA enabler... nothing worked. Voodoohda works, but then the sound seems like that of some aliens! So I removed it. Any idea how to proceed now? Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonAngel Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 any news on a new kernel now that the sources have been released for almost a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deven_suicidal Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Bro Is This really Retail Snow Leopard but why is it written (build 10A32) Does this mean it's build but not the real retail dics on the market?? Sorry for asking this question, i'm just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptesone Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Worked like a charm, thanx ! I had to use a retail DVD of Snow Leopard tho, my previous attempts (using other SL downloads) were causing KP's on first boot every time. . . Also, do you think it is stable enough to run as main OS, I mean is it as solid as Leopard 10.5.8? And is there anything else you can tell us about the modbin test 7 kernel like what features it may or may not have, advantages or dis-advantages we should know about? just curious. . .

Sorry for asking this question, i'm just curious the retail version on the market have a same build with the GM build that i use to install (10A423). i can also get an update from sofware update any news on a new kernel now that the sources have been released for almost a month? not yet.. i have try to build it with voodoo source, its still failed....

arya Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 yes but its still have some problem with on fly cpuid patch.. and 64 bit mode too Thanx for the quick reply.

roratonga Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 first thanks for your tutorial snow leopard works now! the problem is my buggy dsdt.dsl so i get probs in compiling it to get a dsdt.aml. however, i updated my bios to the newest release and now snow leopard works without step 9 of your tutorial (without dsdt.aml). my new problem is now that efi string for my grafics doesn't work, i can use nvenabler 64 but then there is no hardware acceleration, qe/ci support. any ideas? - and i know i can use dsdt to set up my grafics but as i said: there is no dsdt.aml because i can't compile it... greetz rora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsl Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Installation report: Thanks for mach_kernel.test7, I could install Snow on some AMD motherboards, though I used Chameleon RC3. Chameleon "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" works with GeForce 7600/8600/9500/9600. Radeon 2600XT works when device-propertis is set and X2000.kext is removed. "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" works. Asus M4A78 Plus Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3, AHCI Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H, AHCI "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" does not work and device-properties was needed. Gigabyte GA-M720-US3, AHCI ( because PCIe is attached to PciRoot(0x0)/PCI(0x10,0x0) ? ) --- edit --- DSDT is PciRoot(0x1)/PCI(0x10,0x0) and fixed by DSDT patch. - Thanks to Kabyl. I installed all of them on working 10.5.x. As I attach USB audio, I do not patch DSDT for sound. VoodooPower (AMD patched) works . All the CPUs are K10 (Phenom, Athlon II) and arch=i386 (32 bit). My motherboard is Asus M4A78 Plus which can work in Leopard 10.5.6 ~10.5.8. However I can not install Snow Leopard 10.6 because I can not get its DSDT.aml properly. Every time when I use DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e it always caused failure because errors over 200. Can you provide me a working DSDT.aml or DSDT_fixed.txt of Asus M4A78 Plus in attached file ?

obeythepharaoh Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Rapidshare downloads on the front page... most of them don't work anymore. Require a premium membership... can somebody please upload those elsewhere, like mediafire (?), or attached to a post in this thread...? That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
