Thread: Problem installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard - 10.6.8

Hello,
Recently I have downloaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard - 10.6.8 that have to work both on amd and intel

My configuration is AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 1090T, 3200 MHz (16 x 200)
Asus M5A87 (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR3 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (1024 Мб)
Kingston 9905471-017.A00LF 4 Гб DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (8-8-8-22 @ 609 МГц) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 МГц) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 МГц) x2
WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 ATA Device (500 Гб, 7200 RPM, SATA-III)

(BIOS AMI (08/09/11))

So I've installed R Drive Image 4.7.4725, restored os to free space at hard
After that I've restarted my pc and got error Still waiting for root device

I found some kind of fix
I had to put AHCIPortInjector.kext and AppleNForceATA.kext to /system/library/extension/

Now it crashes like this Error 2 - YouTube

I tried to do a virtualization with VMware Workstation (with mac for WMvare of cource), but it's impossible for my cpu

Probably you have this issue because of your GTX 550 Ti that is unsupported by Snow Leopard and unfortunately there`s no OS X Lion for AMD processors yet...

Remove all NVDA*.kext that you have on your /System/Library/Extensions folder and try to boot again using the flag`s below...

Code:

cpus=1 busratio=16 maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -f -v

I was very sutprised when I saw, that my Extensions folder is empty (what I have to do now?)

I'm having trouble also with

cpus=1 busratio=16 maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -f -v

cause, I don't how to post there in 2 lines (enter starts the installation and Down key just opens the menu for boot)

anyway, I got this by the end

I'm doing all this manipulations to get an xcode, is their any other way?

If your Extensions folder is really empty I believe that will not work...

BTW, you need to use the flag`s that I told to you...

Before press ENTER above the OS X Installer partition icon, just write the commands "exactly" as I wrote and then press ENTER...

still doesn't work. It's sad that there is no release for my configuration
