Hello all!
Just finished my second hackintosh build a week ago, and am now trying to install Snow Leopard. After my first Lion build, trying the same setup with SL for compatibility with a few external gadgets.
Well, installation was successful, everything seems to work as it should. Turns out I have a 4k cluster HDD, which I already knew as it is the same model as the other one (WD 500Gig)
and which booted perfectly into Lion after the Ubuntu-dd-boot1h-fix-thingy. (http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/129/)
This time, things seem to be more complicated. I do the same thing, the Ubuntu style fix described in voodooprojectspages I read, and sure enough, it boots into the chameleon window. Subsequently it tries to boot SL, but it doesn´t get any further than a grey screen with apple logo and NO spinning wheel. It just hangs there.
When I put in my iBoot CD, using that to boot into SL, it boots perfectly and everything works... I´m very puzzled by this, must be a boot thingy that isnt compatible or sth. On a hunch tried bootflag for 32bit SL, but it just gives me the same frozen screen with the apple logo.
Can anyone pls tell me what I´m doing wrong here?
Edit: Running Gigabyte Z68-MA-D2H board with i3 2105, onboard graphics. Proved no problem in Lion build.
