Snow Leopard / VMWARE / AMD HELP!

[nonconformistconformist]

HELP!!!!

 

Ill try to make this simple.

 

My system :

AMD 9550 BE Quad Core

Gigabyte GA-790X-UD4P 790X Northbridge / 750 Southbridge

8 Gigs DDR2 Corsair 800

9800GTX Nvidia graphics

 

Okay....Here we go....

 

1. NO iDenebs install. Not a single one. I either get the Apple Logo with the cross thru it, or it just reboots my machine.

 

2. No iATKOS will install. Reboots my machine or cross thru apple logo ....

 

3. BootCD from .06 to 1.5 and RETAIL Snow Leopard 10.6.3 .... gives me headaches as well. I get close...most the time I get still waiting for rot device or some kind of cpu KP???

 

4. VMWARE....If I start with the BootCD ISO, and disconnect that iso , to insert the retail osx iso..it wont work either....

 

5. How do I setup a VMware machine to read off the bootcd, THEN Snow Leopard? Not first going to snow leopard no matter what.

 

My system is set to AHCI. My dvd is Sata.

You have a really weird username, anyway, that will always most likely happen in vmware, how much ram are you allocating? And which iAtkos did you try? Try the Hazard distro.

[nonconformistconformist]

I couldnt think of a username..

 

The Hazard wont boot at all. Just reboots my machine.

 

I burned the dvd / iso's at slow speeds.

 

Its a puzzler for sure.

 

S3 and even V7 of iATKOS, Am downloading S3 V2 os iATKOS, but Im thinking Ill still get the same issues?

[Markrtoon]

Most likely, try booting with -v arch=i386.

[nonconformistconformist]

Ill give it a go.

 

With all these ISO's..what would you recommend I try?

 

I dont see how to get to a terminal with the boot cd's. So, Try the iATKOS and go from there? Ill do that, at least its a start.

 

Thanks for the idea and Ill report back.

On bootup, when it says "Press F8" that's when you'll enter these commands.

[nonconformistconformist]

Yeah tried it. No go.

 

Heres a screen shot.

 

I disabled the firewire, just to see, but that wasnt it.

 

THe Hazard DVD I have just reboots my machine. Ill have to redownload it and try it again. But I wonder if my 9950 is no good as a snow leopard cpu???

[Markrtoon]

Do you just have a regular old laptop or desktop?

 

It may work, but I think this is over my head..

 

I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Redownloading client and server Hazrds ISO's. Also an AMD only Kernel.

 

Ill try tomorrow. THank you for your help though. And, never come up with a username on the spot...thats how you get something retarded like mine. LOL!
