i used iboot, iboot-ge to get to chameleon and it works every time but when i insert the snow leopard dvd the installationprocesse stops shortly after with an error.

i tryed -x -v cpus=1 busratio=12 in any constallation but nothing happend.

could someone tell me how to install?
maybe someone with the same system who got it to run? What biossetting do i have to choose?

try typing

-x -x legacy GraphicsEnabler=no cpus=2 busratio=27 PCirootUID=1

lengthy process but worked for me fine on my dell 1747... obviously thats only one problem overcome you run into more after installation which im trying to resolve good luck

With the i7 720QM the busratio you need is 12.

I used -x -v busratio=12 GraphicsEnabler=No - this enabled me to get into the SL installation, and for the reboot to install Chameleon etc.
Afterwards, I could drop the -x flag and need only busratio=12 and GraphicsEnabler=No.
This will enable you to boot with low resolution.

Follow this thread for info as it happens with enabling HD resolution with this graphics card - no-one has yet replicated making this work (but it has been done accidentally!). I am certain we will get a breakthrough in the next few days.
