Depending on your machine configuration some of your application may not work , most probably application of video and sound. Many times you may get kernel panic in that case redo with probable changes.
Check machine hardware
To install mac on your pc you may check your machine hardware compatibility according to your machine make http://goo.gl/3TXo8 My machine configuration Studio 1558 Direct Base Intel Core i3-350M (2.26Ghz, 4Threads, 3M cache) 4GB Dual-channel 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

yes it is possible to install both on different partition on same machine (but not recommended) make sure you have updated you boot partition to Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.5 as it contain many enhancements to PC BIOS like APIC,SMBIOS…x64 support you will be able to select os you want to boot into by selecting option you will need: Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.5 if windows ntfs if linux ext3-4 i recommend you to keep you data back up before you do any changes report me if any query Reply 2.

i will be needing information of you machine configuration hoping it is based on Intel x64 core i processor i think you might be stuck up at voiceover command with blank screen with audio playing at background. iATKOS image also compatible with most of the machine you just have to keep trying to get best configuration which is suitable for your machine. try link http://goo.gl/Tbmjj for more image and forums Reply 3.

need your machine configuration cant tell you without that if you boot your machine and it keeps rebooting even after successful installation has been done then try booting in verbose mode try: boot your pc press down arrow key and select boot in verbose mode tell me at what file it stops its process os that i can sort out your problem also i need your machine configuration to get to the root of your problem Reply

So I Reinstalled Windows on my laptop cus i was getting frustrated. but i can try and reinstall it again on a different partition. and keep windows right? cus i dont wanna go through installing it again unless snow leopard will indeed work for me. I know when it successfully installed that when i clicked on it after restart, that it would show the apple screeen real quick and then reboot. your customize screen has different options then mine because you used Hazard. but my configuration is. CPU=Intel Core i5 M HDD= 500GB RAM=6GB VIDEO = ATI RADEON 512MB WIRELESS = Same as Yours

In addition to my specs that i just gave you. i downloaded the Hazard Disc that you used so when you give me the custom settings, i will have the same screen as you. thanks for your time man, i really appreciate it. I have windows 7 up on it right now, and i partitioned my hard drive to leave 200 GB of space for snow leopard. hope you can make this work. Also is it possible to update to 10.6.6 once you install this version? 4.

sorry for all the questions, but one more question. when i go to load up the Hazard CD. i type in busratio=22 but it stays on the black screen and says “Loading Darwin/x86″ how do i get past this screen. i tried typing in the other thing you said to also. no luck though. Reply

So i just finished installing it for the second time, the hazard edition, and when i boot up and just click Snow Leopard partition, it restarts my computer. when i type in busratio=22 it starts the computer, gets to the apple screen and then shuts off my computer. when i do a verbose boot, whatever happens last happens too fast and i cant see what the issue is. i know it said firewire disabled but phoenix BIOS doesnt have a firewire selection in the BIOS. -x doesnt work either.

I have dell studio 1555, i have successfully installed sl 10.6.6i hazard but i am facing some issues my dvd drive is shown in the profiler in Serial ATA devices but it is not working rw both, and when i do restart from sl dvd drive doest not shows up in the OS neither in windows nor in sl. SATA mode is set AHCI in bios, which kext or patch is needed to set the sata dvd to work properly? Reply
mandar shinde Says:
April 18, 2011 at 12:12 am
try 2 things 1. set your drive to compatibility mode from bios and boot in SL check if it has got device id else you have to check any kext matching to you machine profile 2. you said its not working in windows too , so i think you got problem in your drive, check your data cable’s , jumper setting..

you have to trace the error you are getting and make some minor changes during installation. can you get the error at which process stops? you can try newer version of Mac if you want.

look like you can here sound of voiceover but you cant login in Mac… try rebooting with GraphicEnabler=Yes or reinstall the system with checking GraphicEnabler from the list also select ATI drivers for 4000 series.

Depending on your machine configuration some of your application may not work , most probably application of video and sound. Many times you may get kernel panic in that case redo with probable changes.

yes it is possible to install both on different partition on same machine (but not recommended) make sure you have updated you boot partition to Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.5 as it contain many enhancements to PC BIOS like APIC,SMBIOS…x64 support you will be able to select os you want to boot into by selecting option you will need: Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.5 if windows ntfs if linux ext3-4 i recommend you to keep you data back up before you do any changes report me if any query Reply 2.

i will be needing information of you machine configuration hoping it is based on Intel x64 core i processor i think you might be stuck up at voiceover command with blank screen with audio playing at background. iATKOS image also compatible with most of the machine you just have to keep trying to get best configuration which is suitable for your machine. try link http://goo.gl/Tbmjj for more image and forums Reply 3.

need your machine configuration cant tell you without that if you boot your machine and it keeps rebooting even after successful installation has been done then try booting in verbose mode try: boot your pc press down arrow key and select boot in verbose mode tell me at what file it stops its process os that i can sort out your problem also i need your machine configuration to get to the root of your problem Reply

So I Reinstalled Windows on my laptop cus i was getting frustrated. but i can try and reinstall it again on a different partition. and keep windows right? cus i dont wanna go through installing it again unless snow leopard will indeed work for me. I know when it successfully installed that when i clicked on it after restart, that it would show the apple screeen real quick and then reboot. your customize screen has different options then mine because you used Hazard. but my configuration is. CPU=Intel Core i5 M HDD= 500GB RAM=6GB VIDEO = ATI RADEON 512MB WIRELESS = Same as Yours

In addition to my specs that i just gave you. i downloaded the Hazard Disc that you used so when you give me the custom settings, i will have the same screen as you. thanks for your time man, i really appreciate it. I have windows 7 up on it right now, and i partitioned my hard drive to leave 200 GB of space for snow leopard. hope you can make this work. Also is it possible to update to 10.6.6 once you install this version? 4.

So i just finished installing it for the second time, the hazard edition, and when i boot up and just click Snow Leopard partition, it restarts my computer. when i type in busratio=22 it starts the computer, gets to the apple screen and then shuts off my computer. when i do a verbose boot, whatever happens last happens too fast and i cant see what the issue is. i know it said firewire disabled but phoenix BIOS doesnt have a firewire selection in the BIOS. -x doesnt work either.

SATA mode is set AHCI in bios, which kext or patch is needed to set the sata dvd to work properly? Reply

try 2 things 1. set your drive to compatibility mode from bios and boot in SL check if it has got device id else you have to check any kext matching to you machine profile 2. you said its not working in windows too , so i think you got problem in your drive, check your data cable’s , jumper setting..

I have noticed one thing that if dvd or cd is present in slot load dvd drive it shows up properly in sl but if it is empty then sl is unable to find any disc burning device. Could anything be done to solve this issue. 26.

try installing again and only with legacy packages, if you have installed packages according to your configuration the arguments work. you might be having some problem of incompatible packages. Reply 27.

I think your machine is using default Voodoo kext it may be solved by recent HDAEnabler check : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=235523 i am considering your Graphic card would ATI HD 5000+ Reply 30.

I think these instructions are really good, well done. I am going to try this out. I have exactly the same computer as you but i have an i7 processor and a 1gb ATI 4570. I was just wondering if i would have to choose different setting in customize on instillation, and also how i would update to 10.6.7? Thank you, Matt Reply

most probably same configuration will work. You may need some small modification according to your cpu. Well if want to upgrade Mac to 10.6.7 i would suggest you to install newer version of copy. Reply 31.

Hey Mandar, I tried installing with the steps you mentioned, but i am having problem in the 3rd step. Even after entering the busratio=25(i have i7 Q 740) or busratio=25 –v memsize=4096 cpus=1..my screen sticks at the apple logo screen and stops there for say about 20-25 mins and then the system is turned off…i an using the same hazard copy you are using in the instructions. I have also tried busratio=17 but same is happening. kindly help. Reply

you have to trace the error you are getting and make some minor changes during installation. can you get the error at which process stops? you can try newer version of Mac if you want.

look like you can here sound of voiceover but you cant login in Mac… try rebooting with GraphicEnabler=Yes or reinstall the system with checking GraphicEnabler from the list also select ATI drivers for 4000 series.
