10.6.1 by hazard install
quad core q6600
memory installed 4x2048=8192 ddr2 1066 gskill

ide
channel 0 (master jumper | drive at black at end of ide cable)
-primary drive 320gb win 7
channel 1 (slave jumper | grey at middle of ide cable)

when starting from dvd, boot flag options (press F8)

Code: Select all

-v maxmem=4096 cpus=1
without cpus=1, hazard install reboots
without restricting the memory to 4096 (32bit max), there will be install problems initially

once in the install window, tools -> disk utility, and choose the drive for your osx
choose partition -> new 1 partition HFS+ [any name]

Code: Select all

osx
works nicely :)
you must choose chameleon 2 rc5 to have the systembe able to boot properly, without it, the system will hang after install and reboot

once installed, a reboot will occur. now, the system will not start due to a conflict with AppleTyMCEDriver.kext, which can be removed by going into single user mode:

boot from hard drive install, press any key for boot options, and then use boot flag

Code: Select all

-s
once in single user mode, follow the two lines of code listed and enter them waiting between each one:

Code: Select all

/sbin/fsck -ty

Code: Select all

/sbin/mount -uw /
then
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext

if you had no typos, it will not be listed. to check, you can goto that folder and list the contents:
cd System
cd Library
cd Extensions
ls

if it is not listed, you can then type
exit

and you will see the intro animation and welcome of apple's snow leopard. you can disconnect your lan if you want to information released from your setup and state "this computer does not connect to the internet".

when choosing a name try not to use any spaces "Abe Lincoln" is not good but "Abe" or "ALincoln" is. Nobody likes spaces. :)

now sometimes the screen will just sit there blue, and this is because the user doesn't have a root password, etc, no problem, simply just restart your pc, and remember the boot flag options when asked, pressing F* and

Code: Select all

-v cpus=1 maxmem=4096
then, wait, there is your desktop. viola. Snow Leopard 10.6, 10.6.1,and or 10.6.2 depending on your optional tick marks in the hazard 'options' if you set them up, they all work.


download and install multibeast 3.8 (easybeast)
no audio from pci-e x-fi creative labs (hacks get digital audio optical port only?)
there is a driver for the x-fi, beta 1.20b, works perfectly.

10.6.6 install dvd hazard did not work(?)

10.6.7 combo update
iboot
cpus=1 to setup

10.6.7 to 10.6.8 software update, combo update 1gb does not work in this case
after reboot, system hangs. starting iboot with option

Code: Select all

-s
shows:pci configuration begin bug
boot options iboot type in at gui boot menu
best fix is adding kernel boot flag

Code: Select all

npci=0×2000
this is a fermi bug because 10.6.8 doesn't want to use the 110 or even 100 based nvidia card

using the boot flag it boots right into 10.6.8 no problem. no fermi drivers anymore, 1024x768 etc.
update with nvidia official drivers from http://www.nvidia.com
Retail_256.02.25f1v1.dmg (installs after detecting 10.6.8)
reboot, and no boot flag needed! it is NOT an ACPI 10.6.7 fall back issue at all!
multiple monitor support! previous 10.6.7 fermi driver hack buggy and froze. official drivers 1920x1080 youtube HD video no freezing or stuttering. :)
