monkie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've spent the last week trying to install Snow Leopard 10.6 onto my Dell Latitude D610 and no matter what I do or how I install it or what guide to follow I always end up at the same point which is "Waiting for DSMOS" and the system hangs. The system starts waiting for DSMOS just after running fsck on the boot volume and after a launchctl message asking me to convert .etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist to launchd I've tried various different configurations but I can't seem to get it to boot. I'm running 10.5.6 at the moment and I wish to install 10.6 as a fresh install. I have Chameleon RC3 and in Extras/Extensions I have the following :- AppleACPIPS2Nub OpenHaltRestart VoodooPS2Controller LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA NullCPUPowerManagement AppleRTC IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector PlatformUUID I replaced IOATAFamily.kext to stop a kernel panic. I also have fakesmc and dsmos in there and I've tried without fakesmc and just dsmos in Extra/Extension and S/L/E and I've tried fakesmc on its own. When I tired both together I got a kernel panic. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to get it up and running.

Comodin Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Bump, anyone help me, still have the problem. Hi, You should try adding dsmos.kext from netkas: http://netkas.org/?p=126 Good luck, Comodin.

monkie Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks for the reply mate, I did use DSMOS.kext from Netkas, added it to Extra/ and S/L/E and used it with and without fakesmc but still no joy.

vbxeric Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 i suggest you to try the fakesmc.kext This should work remove AppleRTC using fakeSMC fakesmc.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188383-problem-booting-in-sl106/#findComment-1279195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comodin Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I tried that but it still didn't work Are you trying to boot in 64 o 32-bit. Try with 32-bit with this flag: arch=i386 at boot.

Barskir Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I got the same problem, after "Waiting for DSMOS..." kernel panics it says "CPU 1 has no HPET assigned to it ".... and then AppleIntelCPUPowermanagment.kext" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188383-problem-booting-in-sl106/#findComment-1279323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jusasweet69 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 did you ever achieve getting snow running on the d610? i can get into the install but i cant get it to instal cuz of an issue with it not being able to unmount my hdd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188383-problem-booting-in-sl106/#findComment-1380316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amzor Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have been trying to install Snow Leopard on my Latitude D610 using the myHack Installer without success. Are you people using a non vanilla kernel? Because I don't think you can get a Pentium M to boot Snow Leopard with a vanilla kernel. I am trying to get it to work using the "Chocolate Kernel" option in the myHack Installer. Mine restarts during boot after it reaches this line "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - wait for service (resource Matching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out". The extra kexts that I am using are: AHCIPortInjector.kext AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext AppleIntelGMA950.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext fakesmc.kext FramebufferDisabler.kext LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext LegacyAppleRTC_32bit_Only.kext AppleIntelGMA950.kext IOPCIFamily.kext Let me know if any one has found a solution.

No I haven't gotten it to boot into the install yet. The computer reboots while it is booting into the instal. It reboots right after this line: "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - wait for service (resource Matching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188383-problem-booting-in-sl106/#findComment-1392925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amzor Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I was able to boot into the "Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 Intel AMD made by Hazard" installer. I restored the ISO to an 8GB USB drive then installed Chameleon 1.0.11 to the same USB drive using this installer: http://www.kexts.com/view/195-chameleon_1...._installer.html But I can't seem to get the computer to boot after I install. It ether kernel panics, reboots or freezes at a completely gray screen, depending on what options I select in the installer.

stoned_crazy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just got snow leopard working on my Dell D610, but not with 100% success. I've just done the same thing as amzor with these options in the installer: * legacyintelpiix, * legacy 10.2.0 kernel * PS/2 After the install: * I copied IOATAFamily from my leopard iPC 10.5.6 installation to fix a kernel panic * Also, I was getting "FakeSMC: key info not found MSDS, length – 6" which I fixed by adding this to fakesmc's info.plist: <key>MSDS</key> <data>AAAAAAAA</data> And have managed to go beyond the freeze at the gray screen after the verbose load. I'm not sure yet exactly what did the trick but it's one or both of these: * I copied AppleIntelGMA* and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer from my leopard iPC 10.5.6 installation * I plugged in an external monitor Funnily enough, after I got past the initial installation GUIs, I could boot without an external monitor. I suspect the 10.5.6 leo kexts must have done the trick. The problems I'm facing now: * The clock shows negative numbers and the date/time GUI doesn't work properly. Finder shows invalid timestamps too for files. * Rendering problems and the buttons are distorted on the left hand side * Instability: the finder tends to crash. Textedit mangles the colors on rtf files. Who knows what else, I've not used it too long, but am discouraged enough by this behavior to discontinue using the kernel. I'll post more once I get to the bottom of exactly what needs to be done.

stoned_crazy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I've not done anything since my last post. Only one little bit of extra but probably unhelpful information: I purely accidentally booted up the installation on my Dell D830 and there were no issues.

crazyJAT Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Unfortunately, this issue is caused by SSE2 CPUs. There is currently no solution, the SSE3 emulator just does not work properly in Snow Leoaprd. Check out this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=226078 We need a real community push to get those that are capable enough to fix the SSE2 support.

crazyJAT Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Actually, I take that back, another cause could be the kernel. I came across a kernel that caused my boot to sit at Waiting for DSMOS... switched it out for the AnV 10.4.0 rel 4 kernel and everything was fine.

stoned_crazy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I just tried the 10.4.0 rel 4 legacy kernel on an existing unmodified 10.6.4 SL installation. I tried booting up, but kept getting stuck on the blue screen even with an external monitor plugged in and AppleIntel* kexts replaced (see my post) above. I only managed to boot after I deleted the AppleIntel* kexts. It looks like 16 or 256 colors, so the graphics are definitely not 100%. The worrying thing though is that no dates/times were displayed, not in the menu nor the finder. Also button rendering was still not correct.
