try with iBoot Legacy and a supported gfx card. HD2000 graphics is not supported in OS X.

An inexpensive card like the 8800GS will work well.

Here is a link on other older video cards that work w Snow Leo.

You may have to find one of these older GFX units - electronic recycling center - online auctions etc.

Read and understand the older SNow Leo install guides - they will give you a lot of background information you need to know. Also search forum for other uses of this motherboard and any install scenarios.

You will also need to know the network and sound codex's or kexts to use. Search Google for your motherboard to get these bits of information.

You may also need to make your own DSDT file - see this link.

Also you will need to use a modified installer procedure. As your hardware is Sandy Bridge.

Typical installation steps are:
1) iBoot + Disk Utility + install Snow Leopard DVD (perform install via DVD) reboot
2) iBoot + Installed OSX HDD (boot with iBoot and loading OS via newly installed HDD) - get welcome screen
3) Run Update Helper and Reboot? (Download from TMX86)
4) iBoot + Installed OSX HDD, run combo update 10.6.8 , DO NOT reboot
5) Run Multibeast and select option which are required to your board and run System Utilities.
6) Reboot w/out iBoot

Audio/Ethernet/DSDT

DSDT and BIOS firmware must match to the corresponding number.

Try with -v npci=0x2000 and see if that helps

Going Bald, No bigger changes. Got the same result.

Have you tried npci=0x2000 with PCIRootUID=1

Yes tried, no better luck. Last line of the panic is "PCI Configuration begin"

Install a supported GPU. The HD2000 gfx in your CPU is not supported in OS X, so no PCI to configure properly.
