i get a bit further now, i see the Chameleon bootloader and select my USB name, 1st option. I get a Grey screen with some lines of code, but it crashes, tells me to restart the PC.

 

anyone know what the problem is?

 

Also i have created everthing in VMware OSX Leopard. I have problems creating the DSDT, i get 201 Errors. I have amended the file, 0x08 to 0x02. But when creating DSDT i get many errors??

 

Ok, so i made the DSDT.aml file in Windows, then sent it to Leopard in VMware. I coptied it to Mac Loader folder, and Ran 3_Mac Loader.

 

In the USB i see DSDT.aml, but its 0kb, rather than the 40kb one made. So i sawp it manually, and try boot.

I use -V command and it worked, but i got a load of garbage on screen after 30secs or so.

 

I tried again and now it just stops at IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectorss 64:87

 

Now whats the deal???

 

I have AHCI, VTx, and Execute Disable Bit enabled in Bios.

 

I have P5Q Deluxe and ATi 4850, VGA to DVI converter used.

thank you for your replay.

 

But I was already have this option disabled

 

Any other ideas ?

 

 

What are your hakintosh's specs?... What kexts are you using?... Maybe you should try with AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext or IOATAFamily.kext.

 

Hope it works...

I have a similar problem, though I created all my stuff on my Hack in OS X, I either get the circle with the line through it or gray OS X crash screen telling me to hold down power button till it restarts.

 

Edit: So I've been trying to get this to work on my Intel DG45ID Mobo, Leopard was installed with iDeneb 1.4, and I also tried the Blackosx guide for it and I can't get that to work either, just a gray screen, so anyone have any other ideas?

Thank you for this awesome guide. I'm now running my new hack with SL and everything appears to be working perfectly.

 

 

I am however having trouble with the final step; The step to hide the EFI Partition.

 

I have followed the directions exactly, but the EFI Partition is still visible on the desktop. The only way I deviated, is I deleted the macloader_sl folder before I got to this step, so I pulled the uuid from the disk utility, can anyone offer advice on how to resolve this?

 

TIA

GREAT GUIDE...

 

I installed SL on my GA P35 DS4 and it work almost right with initial installation. I said almost because I could not get Micron JMB363 controller to work also no sound, video card kext not loaded and all the drives displayed as external.

 

Now I used NVDarwin and VoodooHDA for video and sound, not use the purple SATA and certain kext to make the drives internal.

 

I like the idea not displaying drives on the desktop, hate clustering desktop, now only external drives are display on the desktop...

 

Now how can I get my 4.1 sound to work...

 

Once again thanks for the guide.

Hmm. I must be missing something. I've followed your guide up to making the installer drive and everything seems to go fine. When I try to boot with the drive plugged it in doesn't make it past the POST screen. It's almost like the machine locks as it's scanning for attached drives. If I unplug the drive the machine boots normally. I've tried two different drives with the same results so it's not the drive. I know it should work because I used your excellent Leopard guide to successfully install 10.5 on my machine (I did have to switch to iDeneb after something changed in 10.5.4 and nothing I did could restore my sound) so I know it can boot vanilla OS X. Am I missing a step somewhere? I have a feeling it's something simple but I can't figure out what.

 

Edit: Here's my machine specs. Leopard works flawlessly on it. The only modded kext that I'm using is for my Audio chipset.

 

Shuttle SG31G2

 

Intel C2D E7300 2.66GHz

4GB PC6400 DDR2

EVGA GeForce 8600GTS

NB: Intel G31

SB: ICH7

Realtel ALC888 Audio

Marvell 88E8056 GigE Ethernet

Thank you very mach. I put the AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext from netkas and it was able to boot.

I installed the OS in other driver.

When it boots I select the new driver but it stacks again.

It seams that is not loading the kexts now from the dump disk

updated the MacLoader_SL kit!

 

updated post#1 accordingly.

 

> did some code-sweeping especially with the presence or absence of audio-kext/s.

 

> still with the option of setting-up the MacLoader either in the EFI-partition or to a usb-flashdrive/partition for backup purposes.

 

> tnx to DB1, no more auto-mounting EFI-partition.

 

enjoy and please do provide additional info/knowledge on how to improve the guide. :P

I am still getting the EFI partition auto-mounted. I downloaded the updated macloader you posted, and re-ran steps 3 and 4. Then I went into the newly created com.apple.Boot.plist and re-added my efi string for video and set the kernel to 64 bit. I still however am seeing the EFI partition on the desktop, am I missing something here?

I am so glad to hear that. Now try using the "arch=i386" flag at the chameleon boot. Or maybe the "-F" flag.

 

Good Luck!

Important:

 

sudo newfs_hfs -v EFI /dev/rdiskXs1

 

only works on a clean formatted drive - i.e with an intact EFI partition.

 

If you previously installed on EFI partition manually using "diskutil eraseVolume" via Snow then you have changed the partition type code so it is no longer an EFI type partition thats why it auto mounts.

No nothing working :)

 

Ok, no need to be nervous. I think your problem lies on the Graphic card you are using. What kext did you use for your Nvidia card??... Maybe you should try the NVinject.kext at Stell's blog:

By the way, try to downgrade your RAM to 4 Gb. Some people are having problems with more than 4 Gb memory.

tnx again for that DB1. forgot to mention that on my post on #210.

The 10.5.7 version is working perfectly with the ram I think it's not the problem.

I'm getting a little nervous because I wave spent a lot of time on this and nothing happens

 

Thank you for your help I will try tomorrow again

Hey, I followed your guide and got Snow Leopard up and running successfully on my Hack ! There seems to be a problem with the USB however. My iPod touch, USB HDDs/Sticks are not detected by Snow Leopard. Anyway to fix ? Specs in my signature

 

SOLVED: Copied IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorage from Leopard to Snow Leopard [/s/L/E]

 

Now I'm on a fairly decent Vanilla Snow Leopard installation thanks to this guide :)

 

Sound working [AppleHDA + HDAEnabler Fixes], USB working [iOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorage from Leopard], Ethernet working OOB :)

I don't mean to be dense, But I don't understand how to resolve this. Could you please explain what I can do going forward to remove that from auto-mounting? Many thanks.

snow leopard needs to be reinstalled. :P

 

but the fstab approach should also work.

good to hear that a5hr1th. but have u already tried putting the Leopard-IOUSBMassStorage kext inside the KEXTs folder instead of putting it directly inside snow leopard's /S/L/E?

Your guide works flawless for a 32 bit install but I am having trouble with 64

 

My problem is you have coded the "arch=i386" into the loader so when I install it to the "EFI" partition it is hidden so I mount it with terminal and remove the "arch=i386" from the boot.plist and all I get is the grey apple screen with the spinning wheel

 

If I choose to NOT install your boot loader into the "EFI" partition it askes me where I want to install it to. When I choose a location it totally erases what ever one I chose and all is lost

 

My rig is FULLY 64 bit able

 

HELP!
