Guys I have a problem with my SL installation.
I am using Gigabyte g31m es2l mobo. I got the retail disk and did all the stuff to create the snow usb installer.

But when I boot up the installer, I get stuck at the preparing installation screen after choosing language.

I looked up on the net to find solutions, and many recommended enabling AHCI in bios.. But I couldn't find AHCI in my BIOS... Any help? Thanks!

Set the SATA mode to Enhanced in your BIOS.

Still not working icon_question.gif

Anyway, here is the spec of my system.

Gigabyte G31M ES2L
Pentium Dual Core E5300 2.6Ghz
2 x Kingston 2 Gb RAM
Radeon x1650 512mb

I tried following this guide at first. But I got stuck after I insert the CD and then put the SL Retail DVD, it says BOOTMGR is Missing.

Then I followed this guide, but when I reach the preparing installation screen I got stuck :/
http://osx86.co/f57/guide-retail-snow-leop...for-g31m-t3672/

There no AHCI setting on my BIOS, so I did what wiraone told, Enhanced Sata but still not working.

Any help? icon_question.gif

If you check the postings found in google that are related to your mobo, it seems that many have problem using SL 10.6.3 boot disk but they've successfully booted up using 10.6.0. Since you've the legit 10.6.3, why not find a "way" of getting the 10.6.0 and start from there. Then do a combo update to 10.6.8.

Way as in? Sorry to sound dumb, PM me dude I know it's not allowed to post here biggrin.gif

Finally I got Snow Leopard running using the retail DVD 10.6.3 using EFI empire boot CD. Installed the myHack and all of that. But when I configured my smbios.plist, I got kernel panics on startup. I even tried booting in back with the EFI empire and deleting the smbios.plist, but still the kernel panic is there. How can I get this going?

Check out this link about pmVersion and sleepenabler if any that could help you to get going.

Hi guys.
I succesfully installed ML on my Acer Aspire v3 571g.
I got audio and ethernet to work.
I have a GT 640m card which from what I've read, will not work with ML. I have Intel HD 4000, but how can I enable this?

How do you install ML if the GT460m doesn't work? Or probably ML actually using HD4K by default?

I installed using the normal USB method. Then I installed chameleon with the Intel HD4000 support. Last night I got the HD 4000 to work already. It is showing up in my system info. But it only says 64mb shared.. I'm sure it can go higher. And I also do not have quartz extreme support. When I play certain files in VLC/Mplayerx, it says that OpenGL is not supported. Also HD videos on Youtube are laggy.

I successfully installed Yosemite on my Asus A550C/X550C. I'm trying to get the Intel HD4000 audio to work via HDMI. I'm looking at all the guides that toleda has. There's just so many and so complicated I'm at a lost! If anyone can guide me to some help with this, I'd really appreciate this!
