Snow Leopard Install Problems

[theprovost]

I was following the Snow Leopard installation guide using iBoot, but ran into some problems. The installation worked and I was able to download the update and run Multibeast. This is where ran into problems. After running multibeast and rebooting I'm getting this:

Boot0: GPT
Boot0: Test
Boot0: Test
Boot0: Done

And that's all. It just hangs there and does nothing. I'm wondering if it is because of some of the options I set in Multibeast. Specifically I selected:

- MacPro4,1 system definition (I believe this is closest to my setup)
- 64-bit GraphicsEnabler=No (I selected this because I had to type this in to get anything to show up)

Could one of those options be the problem? I attempted to boot again using iBoot and the GraphicsEnaber=No line but all I got was the gray Apple logo screen and nothing else, it just froze. I'm wondering if Snow Leopard just doesn't like my graphics card (Radeon 7770). I have a Nvidia GTX-260 that I could use if that might help.

Any ideas?

Boot0: GPT
Boot0: Test
Boot0: Test
Boot0: Done

Is not the boot0: error :

boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: error

No, it doesn't say error. Just Done. Am I maybe not waiting long enough?

It looks like a clover EFI issue. Did you select UEFI or Legacy boot mode in Multibeast? Maybe you need to Mount EFI and move or copy the boot and Clover EFI files to the main partition?

This is with iBoot so I don't believe there is a Clover Boot with it. I'll rerun Multibeast and make sure I selected Legacy, but I don't recall seeing that option in there. I selected the EasyBeast install, maybe that was the problem? But if I don't use EasyBeast then I need a DSDT file which I don't have.

Is your intention to actually work with Snow Leopard or just to use it as a stepping stone to download a newer OS from the App Store ?

Just as a stepping stone. I really want to get up to High Sierra eventually but I believe I need to go Snow Leopard > El Capitan > Sierra > High Sierra if I'm understanding everything correctly.

It depends on which version you used. Chameleon?

Then you just need your Ethernet driver from MultiBeast.
You can continue to boot from the iBoot CD.
You must install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update too.
