I been having problem with the iBoot nvidia version, when I wrote the boot to be cpus=1 busratio=17. It would load everything a bunch of codes of line but never hits to the Chameleon and it would reboot. So I tried using the P55 motherboard dvd and I got the far as 7mins to finish then it would say cannot install on this computer (after trying for 9 times). Anyone can give an suggestions? The specs are very similiar to the macbook pro spring version.

CPU = i5 - 430m
RAM = 4gbs of 1066mhz
Chipset = intel 55mh
Video card = GT 330m (1gb of ddr3 or gddr3)
Harddrive = 320 Black Scorpio
Resolution = 1366 x 768

I have the exact same Samsung. I got Snow Leopard to install using Iboot Nvidia and an original Snow Leopard disk by using busratio=18. 19 and 20 will also work. After installing I was able to reboot using iboot and Snow Leopard fired up on the Samsung. After I reboot though Chameleon won't boot it up anymore!

Have you been able to get any further?
 
The problem with that is that you need to type busratio=xx that number you got it to work, then it would boot into the OSX. I am trying to figure out how to custom that part so it would boot, but I redid it again with iboot using safemode and everything works except wifi, card reader and usb. For updating to 10.6.3, you should use a macbook and link it as external harddrive then reinstall ur multi-boot or else you have to pop in the cd again.

What did you type when try to install with the iBoot Nvidia edition and the settings?
