Has anyone managed to get Lilu working/loading on Snow Leopard? It references dependencies that aren't found within Snow Leopard but I am hoping to find where I can grab these from.
An example of when Lilu fails to load at boot:
Code:
Lilu - library kext com.apple.kpi.bsd not compatible with requested version 12.0.0

I tried dropping the version to 10.4.2 in the kext's info.plist as this is the version commonly referenced within other Snow Leopard Kexts.
Does anyone know where I these dependencies are found and how I can update them on Snow Leopard?

I've managed to get Snow Leopard working on an Ivy Bridge model but the GPU is unsupported. I'm trying to get some basic support/spoof models to at least be able to change resolutions

It's a MacBookPro9,2 which originally shipped Mac OS X 10.7.4 and does not support 10.6. I managed to get it booting and working, the system runs amazingly fast and PPC apps run as expected.
I am trying to get some basic GPU capability (just being able to change resolutions is all I want for now) through spoofing the GPU version or patches etc. Most of the patches out there seem to require Lilu but this won't load at boot due to the reasons mentioned above

i have not used it myself but maybe have a read up on OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) to see if that will help

otherwise you may be out of luck
