viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37392

i am able to run lion fine with a DSDT patched by mr helpful VooD, chimera 1.6, nullcpu, fakesmc

with snow leopard i cant get it to work!

i need to boot the installer dvd in the first place with PCIRootUID=1, but after the first round of install and upgrade to 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 it doesn't seem to need it.

after i install chimera 1.6 and kexts etc it no longer boots!

it gets stuck on the grey apple screen with no spinning thing

or with -v it just goes to a black screen.

please help me get snow leopard running on this machine!!!

anyone?

how do you deal with being stuck on the grey apple screen?

 

[jimdrake]

could this be affected by system definition?

if i can boot with the iboot cd then there must be a way i can boot without it?

surely?
