Haris Wijaya asks:
I bought a new Asus P5G41T-M LX motherboard. I tried to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3, but it doesn’t work. My PC restarts. I’ve tried to use -v -f -x or cpus=1 command, but still the same, it just displays the Apple logo.
I have tried to use iBoot and EFI, still the same.
Please give me some advice. T.T

March 27, 2011I’ve had similar problems before. The problem is that you are using the 10.6.3 disk, and you want to get the 10.6 disk. Unfortunately, there is no way (that I know of) to use the 10.6.3 disk. I’m not saying you should, but if you really want to, you could get a pirated version of the 10.6 disk, and use that. If that’s not your thing, then you should look for a 10.6 disk somewhere online, because they won’t have them in Apple stores.
Or maybe you got a disk that comes packaged with a mac computer. Those don’t work. I also know that from my own experience. You have to get an actual Snow Leopard retail disk ($30). Or once again, if you really want to, you could get a pirated version of the 10.6 retail disk.
And just because you use the 10.6 disk doesn’t mean that you can’t later upgrade to 10.6.3 after it’s installed. That should work no problem. It’s the actual disk that has the problem, not the OS X version.
And I should point out that just because I mentioned it, it doesn’t mean that getting a pirated disk is the best choice. If you go that way, you risk getting harmful files, the chance of breaking your computer (because of harmful files), possibly not even getting the OS X version you wanted (or even not getting OS X at all). And there’s the most obvious problem, which is that it isn’t the most legal choice either. The chances of it happening aren’t too high, but it is definitely possible to get an OS X look-a-like, destroying your computer with lots of harmful files, AND getting in legal trouble for that. So it’s not the best way to go, but it is possible if you really want to risk that.

Istallation method – “iATKOS S3 ” DVD.
1. reset BIOS to defaults, then turn SATA to AHCI
2. boot on “iATKOS S3 ” DVD with option “busratio=22″
3. format HDD to MBR MacOS Journaled.
4. install MacOS from “iATKOS S3 ” DVD with default options (default bootloader Asere BLN ..).
5. After installation.
On another computer, that can read and edit MacOS HDD (Mac or PC with “MacDrive” installed).
Delete installed “mach_kernel” from installation HDD.
Copy the kernel “mach_qoopz” from “iATKOS S3 version 2″ DVD to your installation HDD.
I guess, this is the kernel “qoopz 10.2.0″.
Rename “mach_qoopz” to “mach_kernel”.
6. Boot on HDD with safe mode option “busratio=22 -x -v”.
7. Add to “Extracom.apple.boot.plist” Kernel Flag “busratio=22″.
8. Update mac os with combo update downloaded before.
9. boot to updated MacOS 10.6.4.
10. Install other drivers you like.
