Hello everyone,
just bought the parts for my first hackintosh.
Installed snow leopard, the combo update 10.6.8. using iboot/multibeast.
Everything is working fine as long as i boot the os from the iboot cd.
As soon as I try booting from hd, bootloader schows up, but i get a kernel panic.
here is a picture i shot using the -v command.
Safemode (-x) it is loading, but screen stays white and only the courser of my mouse appears.

I am using a GA-Z68MX-UDH2H-b3 (F9) Mainboard
ATI Radeon HD 6870 Graphics
i5 2500K

i used mulitbeast using the DSDT File from the Database

Thanks a lot in advance
Max

If it just stops at the point in the pic with -v, but continues on to white screen with pointer if you use -x, that indicates a gfx problem. With -v in hangs completely and with -x it tries to load with minimal defaults but the drivers are not quite right. Did you disable the onboard gfx in BIOS? Double check that first and post results.
 
i disabled onboard gfx now,
Still get a kernel panic, but it looks slightly different.
Thanks for the quick response!

Would it help to update the bios?
 
Make sure you have the newest version of Chimera installed, and make sure your partition is set as active.

That solved the problem for me when I first built my hackintosh.
 
which partition is supposed to be aktivated? it showes:

0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0TB disk0
1: EFI 209.7MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Snow Leopard 999.8GB disk0s2

thanks

You would activate the EFI partition (disk0s1 in your case)
