Hello,
in the past I installed leopard 10.5.6 on my old amd socket 939 processorand to a gigabyte ep45 board, so I'm not unfamilliar with a lot terminal work, a lot of patience and research regarding hackintosh installs.
But this is keeping in the dark.
Setup:
GigaByte GA-P55-UD2
Intel i5 750
4 gb
Nvidia 9800 GT 512
Intel X25-m 80 gb ssd and a samsung 1 TB sata drive.
I restored a retail install disc of snow leopard 10.6.3 to my 8 GB usb flash drive. Burned Iboot Supported 2.0 to a blank CD. Dug up an old ide dvd burner and made a temp connection to the p55-ud2 (not going to use cd/dvd anymore).
Went to bios, selected optimal defaults, changed sata to achi, hpet to 64 and changed boot order:
cdrom
usb
Hard disk (connected to Sata 0)
Booting into iboot supported, no prob. After i select my usb drive to start the install, nothing happens. I just keep starring at the red apple logo.
Second boot, this time with -x, i see an error embios error. Next I tried to disconnet the ssd and use my sata drive. Same error, cant get past that.
I've tried an older package by tony and installed PCEFI after i restored the SL install on my usb, this makes me go into the install.
I want to use iboot supported because of the vanilla kernel. I need that in order to update safely because one of these days apple will support the Trim function for my SSD.
Is it a problem loading iBoot from an IDE drive?
Should I be using iboot nvidia instead of supported?
Should I be using the install dvd (bought one) instead of usb drive? (than i need to buy a sata dvd drive)
