I sucessfully Installed Snow leopard on my P5Q Deluxe.

Its a collection of the various threads on this forum that i used

Here's How I did it.

 

I used modified bios so i didn't need DSDT patcher.

 

I used a preinstalled Leopard.

 

Open disk utility form leopard and Format a partition named Snow Leopard or smething else you like. this will be the install partion.

 

Format Another partiton for the installation media.

 

Restore the image of the of the Snow leopard Install to this partiotion.

 

Now install Chameleon RC3 to the drive.

 

Put the kexts in the /Extra/Extensions in the Drive where you installed

 

Open Disk utility and right click Snow Leopard and Click information.

Copy the Universal Unique Identifier no.

 

Modify the smbios.plist and Replace the SMUUID with this Universal Unique Identifier.

Right Click PlatformUUID.kext, Click show Package Contents then go to contents and open info.plist

Substitute the Universal Unique Identifier for PlatformUUID.

 

Now reboot and select the Chameleon RC3 installed drive as the boot drive.

 

The Chameleon Screen Should greet you.

 

Select Mac OSX installer disc and boot

 

Follow the installation instructions of OSX.

 

It should say Installation completed sucessfully.

 

Boot into the new Snow Leopard installation.

 

To get ethernet working:

 

For working Marvell 88E8056 Ethernet you have to edit the Info.plist inside :

 

IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/

 

sudo -s

 

Your password, then 

nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

find this string : you can use ctrl+w

 

<string>Marvell</string>
			</dict>
			<key>Yukon-88E8053</key>
			<dict>
					<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

and replace 3 with 6

 

then find :

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
					<string>0x436211ab</string>

and replace 0x436211ab with 0x436411ab (2 with 4)

 

 

then finally replace the "3" from

 

<key>Model</key>
					<string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053 Singleport Copper$</string>

 

with "6" so it will look like this:

 

<key>Model</key>
					<string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8056 Singleport Copper$</string>

 

save the file, chown and chmod the extensions:

 

Code:

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

 

and reboot

 

For Sound I used modified Apple HDA.

You can search for other alternatives if you like.

Great ! Tested and work on P5Q+Nvidia 8600GT 512Mb

Hi after some day of testing installation of universal Snow Leo got work but unstable and without microphone input work

i've tried Shaumux guide and the result is simple fantastic.

I'm using modded bios on my P5Q and for the first time i got result using also my original upgrade dvd (i got Macbook and update was included)

I've used all step of your guide,just after start setup i got with full video resolution and was good sign :-)

install was easy and without any kernel panic ,after installation for first time i've boot with -f -x options because system seem hangs..... or maybe should wait for long time.

After reboot i got Snow Leo desk and just install the "AttansicL1eEthernet.kext" and "VoodooHDA.kext" coming with "P5Q SL Final" package and got working Ethernet interface and the audio with all feature( before i was worry for microphone input missing).

System seem very stable now i've to find the way to set the Chameleon RC3 boot timeout for have automatic booting and check if graphics hardware accelerations works (the system info don't show anything about, but openGl works fine)

 

Shaumux many thanks again for your great tips, please forgive my poor english.

hi.

good work.

 

i'm new in this, so can you tell me please where i install Chameleon RC3 in which drive 'snow leopard' or where my 'leopard' installed?

p.s.

like you know there's no installation available only binary or source.

 

You will need to install Chameleon RC3 to the drive of snow leopard as well as the installer must be loaded with Chamleon RC3

i got a p5q deluxe and i want to install snow leopard

but i don't have leopard installed

how can i find the Universal Unique Identifier no on windows?

thanks ;)

This will only be useful if you already have another version of OSX installed.

 

 

You won't be able to restore the installation disc to a partition even if you get the UUID from windows.

Which is the partition? Is the partition of Leopard?

 

This is the partiiton where you installed chameleon RC3.

 

 

 

which version of leopard should i install?

I used ideneb 1.4 updated to 10.5.8.

 

 

I have read positive feedback for iPC too.

 

You may use any one of your choice, leopard is only required for the properation of the disk, restoring the image of snow leopard and installing chameleon because it cannot be done from other os afaik.

 

if those would be possible from other os's also then the need for a working OSX would be eliminated.

iPC 10.5.6, I use this and its very stable. But I upgraded to 10.5.8.

 

If you have an IDE DVD DRIVE, use iPC, if you have a SATA DVD DRIVE, use iTakos or iDeneb. I have an IDE, because this I use iPC. Good luck for you!

 

I'm downloading Snow Leopard, its fragmentaded in 64 parts. I donwloaded 34. My internet connection is of 600kpbs...
