Install Guide: Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.0 on a Dell Dimension 9200 / DXP061

November23

SpecificationThis guide was tested with the retail Snow Leopard retail disk and the following specification:

Model: Dell Dimension 9200 / Dell XPS410Chipset: Intel P965 Chipset (ICH8R)Processor: Intel Core 2 DuoGraphics: ASUS nVidia EN8400GS 512 PCIeEthernet: Intel 82566DCWireless: Belkin (Broadcom)Audio: SigmaTel 9227

Here is the LSPCI readout if you want lower level information.

If you have a setup completely different to this then turn back now. You’re better off looking for a guidethat matches your spec.

PrerequisitesYou will need the following:

A working OS X installation. I used my iPC 10.5.6 installation. You could potentially use a friends.1.Snow Leopard DVD2.An 8+GB USB Flash Drive & spare hard disk3.Chameleon 2 RC3 Boot loader Package4.EFI studio5.Kext Helper6.A decent text editor, like TextMate7.Some patience. This guide probably looks quite long, but in reality it takes no longer than an hour8.The attribute of following instructions carefully.9.

You will also need the following, which I can provide:

A DSDT1.A few driver kexts2.A boot list file, also known as com.apple.boot.plist3.

Click here to get all of these.

BIOS settings:

ACHI mode (RAID off)1.SpeedStep off2.USB as priority boot3.

Preparation

Restore DVD to USB

1. Boot into your existing OS X installation, insert the Snow Leopard DVD & USB drive, and open DiskUtility.

2. Use Disk Utility to Restore the Snow Leopard DVD to the USB drive by:

3. Selecting the Flash Drive

4. Select the Erase tab on the right and then set Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name thepartition you’ll be creating Snow Leopard Install DVD so you can keep track of your installation device.After you’ve done this, click the Erase button.

5. After Disk Utility finishes erasing your old data on the flash drive and setting it as a new partition, it willbe ready for the Snow Leopard install files. Select the Restore tab at the top and then drag the SnowLeopard DVD to the Source field. Select your USB device, now called Snow Leopard Install DVD forthe Destination file. Click Restore and wait for the restoration to finish (about 20 minutes).

Boot loader & Kexts

1. Install Chameleon 2 RC3 Boot loader using the package installer to the USB drive where you restoredthe Snow Leopard DVD to. Not your working OS X installation.


2 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

Snow Leopard Install DVD post Chameleon Install

2. Copy the ‘com.apple.Boot.plist’ & ‘dsdt.aml’ to the Extra folder in the root of the USB drive.

Content of Extra

3. Create a new folder called Extensions within the Extra folder. Copy all the kext files to the Extensionsfolder.


3 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

Contents of Extensions

4. Open Terminal and run diskutil list This will list out all mounted drives. Look for the one thatcorresponds to your USB drive and note the drive number and installation partition. In this example below,the disk number is 2 and the partition is 2, also written as disk2s2

diskutil list

Now run diskutil info disk2s2 You’ll need to substitute in your own disk and partition number after theinfo.

diskutil info disk2s2

5. Copy the Volume UUID identifier from the information listed to you clipboard or somewhere safe.

6. Now lets go back to the Extra folder on the USB drive. Using that decent text editor I mentioned earlier,you’ll need to open up com.apple.Boot.plist.

7. We are now going to tell the boot loader which disk to boot based on the disk identifier we just retrieved.After the last </string> and before </dict> enter


4 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

<key>boot-uuid</key><string>000000000000</string>

8. Replace 000000000000 with your own disk identifier that should still be in your clipboard. Save the fileand exit.

com.apple.Boot.plist content

9. Navigate the Extensions folder within the Extra folder. Open up UUID-platform.kext in your texteditor. Go to the contents folder and edit the info.plist.

10. Look for <key>PlatformUUID</key> and paste in your disk identifier in the <string>In Here</string>below it. Save the file and exit.

info.plist inside of PlatformUUID.kext

Graphics

1. Start EFI studio and locate your graphics card from the drop down. For EN8400GS I had to use the7600GS EFI string. If you have trouble locating an EFI string, just have a Google around.


5 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

EFI Studio Interface

2. Click Add device. Then click Hex String to Clipboard.


6 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

2. Now back to the Extra folder on the USB drive and open up com.apple.Boot.plist again.

3. After the last </sting> which should be where you entered your disk identifier, start a new line and input:

<key>device-properties</key><string>000000000000</string>

4. Replace 000000000000 with your own EFI string that should still be in your clipboard. Save the file andexit.


7 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

Complete apple.com.Boot.plist

Permissions

1. Open the Terminal and run sudo –s at which point you must enter your password. Sudo allow us to runprograms with the privileges of root.

2. If you’ve followed the instructions exactly to this point, then you should be able to copy and paste thefollowing commands. You may have decided to follow the guide slightly different up to this point. If youhave, then you’ll understand what you need to change here.

cd /Volumes/Snow\ Leopard\ Install\ DVD/Extrachown –R root:wheel *chmod –R 777 *

If any of these throws an error then either I’m terrible at writing instructions, or you’re terrible at followinginstructions. No time to argue anyway, on we go.

Installation


8 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

1. Reboot your machine and if you’ve set your USB to priority boot the Chameleon boot loader shouldappear.

2. Select ‘Snow Leopard Install DVD’, which funnily enough is your USB drive and hit enter.

3. Fingers crossed within a few moments the Snow Leopard installer will appear.

4. If you get the ‘no smoking’ sign after a while then something’s gone wrong. Reboot, and at Step 2 thistime, type -v before hitting enter to boot in verbose mode. This will then output an error message. Fromhere, you’ll have to use your friend Google to help you.

5. Choose your required language.

6. Before continuing with the installation program we’re going to prepare that spare hard drive I mentionedyou needed in the prerequisites. Open the Disk Utility under the Utilities menu.

7. Select the spare hard disk.

8. Select the Erase tab on the right and then set Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name thepartition you’ll be creating Snow Leopard. Now click the Erase button.

9. Now exit the Disk Utility and continue with the installation

10. Choose your newly formatted disk Snow Leopard as the destination and install. The installationshould take around 15minutes or so.

11. It should be noted that sometimes the installer would display an error after completion. You can ignorethis. I’m sure someone out there has an answer why this happens, just Google it if you’re that bothered.

12. Reboot!

First Boot1. Leave your USB as the priority boot device as we’ll be using the chameleon boot loader installed onthere to boot our Snow Leopard installation.

2. When the boot loader appears, you should see the Snow Leopard installation. Select it but don’t pressenter yet.

3. Currently the boot loader is always going to look for the USB drive as the root device, remember we setthis earlier when editing the apple.com.Boot.plist.

We now need to tell it which device we would like to boot this time. Now I can’t tell you exactly for yoursystem what this is going to be. For me this was disk0s2. With Snow Leopard selected, enter rd=disk0s2and hit enter. If this fails, it is worth trying the following: disk1s2, disk2s2, disk3s2 etc

4. If you’ve reached this point then you must be totally buzzing. You’re almost there, nice one.

Post Install


9 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

A lot of this is going to be the same procedure as in the Preparation section but we’re putting the SnowLeopard disk in place of the Snow Leopard Install DVD. I’ll write it out again for consistency.

Bootloader & Kexts (again)

1. Install the Chameleon boot loader to the Snow Leopard disk using the package installer.

2. Copy the ‘com.apple.Boot.plist’ & ‘dsdt.aml’ to the Extra folder in the root of Snow Leopard.

3. Create a new folder called Extensions within the Extra folder. Copy all the kext files to the Extensionsfolder.

4. Open terminal and run diskutil list This will list out all mounted drives. Look for the one thatcorresponds to your Snow Leopard drive and note the drive number and installation partition. In thisexample below, the disk number is 0 and the partition is 2, also written as disk0s2

Now run diskutil info disk0s2 You’ll need to substitute in your own disk and partition number after theinfo.

5. Copy the UUID identifier from the information listed to you clipboard or somewhere safe.

6. Now lets go back to the Extra folder on the Snow Leopard drive. Using that decent text editor Imentioned earlier, you’ll need to open up com.apple.Boot.plist.

7. We are now going to tell the boot loader which disk to boot based on the disk identifier we just retrieved.After the last </string> and before </dict> enter

<key>boot-uuid</key><string>000000000000</string>

8. Replace 000000000000 with your own disk identifier that should still be in your clipboard. Save the fileand exit.

9. Navigate the Extensions folder within the Extra folder. Open up UUID-platform.kext in your texteditor. Go to the contents folder and edit the info.plist.

10. Look for <key>PlatformUUID</key> and paste in your disk identifier in the <string>In Here</string>below it. Save the file and exit.

Graphics (again)

1. Start EFI studio, locate your graphics card, copy hex to clipboard. For EN8400GS I had to use the7600GS EFI string. If you have trouble locating an EFI string, just have a google around.

2. Now back to the Extra folder on the Snow Leopard drive and open up com.apple.boot.plist again.

3. After the last </sting> which should be where you entered your disk identifier, start a new line and input:

<key>device-properties</key><string>000000000000</string>


10 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

4. Replace 000000000000 with your own EFI string that should still be in your clipboard. Save the file andexit.

Sound

1. Open the Kext Helper.1.2. Navigate to the Extensions folder under Extra on your Snow Leopard disk.2.3. Drag the VoodooHDA kext into Kext Helper.3.4. Click install. You’ll be prompted to enter your password.4.

Kext Helper ready for me to click 'Easy Install'

Reboot!1. Now reboot and set your Snow Leopard disk to boot priority.

2. Chameleon should appear; select Snow Leopard and hit enter.

3. If everything’s gone to plan, and I’ll be honest, first time it probably won’t have, you should have a fullyfunctioning Mac OS X Snow Leopard Hackintosh system.

UpdateJust hit the Apple Software Update. It will download the latest package, which at the time of writing was10.6.2. The updates will automatically be installed and then OS X will reboot. Job done.

Very useful guide, thank you! The only problems I came across were simple syntax errors in yourguide. You refer to the ‘Extra’ folder as ‘Extras’ and it got a little confusing. Also, in the section forsetting permissions you typed ‘Volumers’ instead of ‘Volumes’. Again, thanks for the great guide.

3.

On December 10th, 2009 at 12:17 am Moz Says:

Thanks for letting me know about the typos Mike. Glad you found the guide useful.

On January 2nd, 2010 at 5:16 pm Ben Says:

Just wondering if this was written from the point of view that you are on the machine itself, notfollowing these instructions from another machine. (means a little of it gets confusing, but its ok)

5.

On January 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 pm Moz Says:

Hi Ben,

I’m on the actual machine, but as I mentioned in the prerequisites, you’ll need: “A working OS Xinstallation. I used my iPC 10.5.6 installation. You could potentially use a friends” and a “sparehard disk”

In my case, the iPC installation is on the same machine and I’m then installing to the spare disk.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thankyou for your help, i will say that i got the no smoking time the first time i tried installing off allthis.I booted into verbose and the error was half a screen of hex code.

Ive tried installing leopard onto this machine several times to no avail and your guides seem veryhelpful and useful, and im really trying now because i just got one of the new Core i7 27″ monstersand i already have leopard on my MSI wind and a generic HP machine, the Dell was the last nut tocrack. Im going to try again soon and i hope it all works, once again thanks for your fantastic guide.

7.

On January 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 pm Moz Says:

Thanks again for your comments Ben.

The biggest issue I’ve always found with this Dell is ensuring it finds the ‘root device’ on boot. Itmay be beneficial for you to ignore the ‘Volume UUID‘ and ‘Platform UUID‘ parts.

Anyway, good luck again and fingers crossed you get it working.

Hi again pal, I’m writing from my monster as predicted…I have now everything working (magicmouse, aluminium keyboard Bt, Benq LCd …) but I need some hints:

As we know in order to properly boot we must make some mods to the BIOS settings, change SATAmode from RAID to Raid Auto / ATA. Doing so my Sys Prof recognize my HDDs like ATA devicesinstead of SATA as they really are. So my question is:

Is this phenomenon subsequent the “fake” info we give to the OS setting BIOS in ATA compatibilitymode or may be I am using some obsolete kext? Would you please check it out for me, if also youtSys Prof gives erratic output?

Thank you again and Happy new year!

On January 4th, 2010 at 6:49 pm Moz Says:

Hi Ben,

Indeed this is because of the BIOS settings. Now as far as I’m aware, though I haven’t had thechance to try it myself, this guide should work with the setting on RAID. I’ve always use ATA sinceearly Leopard days myself and everything runs just fine.

How about giving it a go and letting me know how you get on?

10.

On January 5th, 2010 at 2:43 pm Andrew Says:

Thanks for the guide, about to attempt it myself, wanting to get an OS X86 system capable ofrunning the iPhone 3.1 SDK, and my attempts to update my Dimension 9200 Kalyway 10.5.2 arefailing every time.

Will try this method, and let you know, cheers

11.


Hi, it seems to be working, except for the ethernet, which doesnt work. This previously worked on10.5.2 using a kext i still have, but doesnt work now. Ideas?

12.


Found that kext here:http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/intel-ethernet-82566-kext-for-snow-anyone-t3829/

Now to figure out how to make the display resolution go above 1024×768

13.


I’m done i think, except for the video, got my 10.6.2 working, so thanks for that, can you help me atall with the video issue?

14.


Hi Andrew, great news that you managed to get everything installed.

15.


14 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

As you know, I’m using an nVidia card with associated EFI string so my resolution is detectedautomatically. A quick fix for your issue may be to add the following to your com.apple.Boot.plist:“Graphics Mode”=1680×1050x32 (obviously switch in your max resolution)

Example:

<key>Kernel</key><string>mach_kernel</string><key>Kernel Flags</key><string>boot-uuid=178D583D-468B-3478-B4F0-11E2C24A2080 "GraphicsMode"=1680×1050x32</string>

This I know is not ideal as you won’t have graphics acceleration. It will of course do the job untilyou either, find an appropriate Kext, or do as I did, get an nVidia card.

On January 6th, 2010 at 9:29 am Jhon Says:

Hi Moz,I think you refer to me, John, in post n° 10, by the way, I have already run some tests setting SATAmode to RAID only, infact BIOS activates RAID controller, it can see my HDDs and it gives inoutput a different splash screen, the one with green writings to be perfectly clear, but the SYS is notable even to boot…it gives the classic boot error “unable to find bootable partition”… could youplease tell me if your dimension states your hdd as ATA in the ATA section of the Sys Prof?

Thank you again.

16.

On January 6th, 2010 at 11:06 am Andrew Says:

Turned the computer back on today, and its got a full list of resolutions, and had picked up1680×1050x32 properly automatically, so thats good.

I have an 8800 GTX 768mb, so it should have worked already from your guide, but its working now,so thanks

17.

On January 6th, 2010 at 11:43 am Moz Says:

@Jhon – The system profile reads as ATA, the mode it’s running in.

18.

On January 6th, 2010 at 11:45 am Moz Says:

Good stuff Andrew, glad you’ve got it all up and running.

19.

On January 8th, 2010 at 5:29 pm Jhon Says:

Thank you Moz for the info. By the way with Chameleon RC4 all of you can remove fromExtra/Extensions the following kext:AppleAHCIPort.kextAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

and substitute them with the ones provided in 10.6 folder inside Cham RC4 package.

20.


15 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

Makeing so youl”have a faster Sys and more over…set Sata Mode to RAID (AHCI) and you’ll haveall your drives listed under SATA in Sys Prof. Remember that MACs work natively withAHCI…byez!!


@jonRC4 is out!! Thanks for the information. I will definitely give this a go over the weekend.

On January 22nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Kris Says:

@MozI’m further than I’ve ever been so huge thanks, but getting stuck at the Leopard Install screen prelanguage selection with the coloured spinning wheel??

System is identical to yours except I have ATI Radeon X1300Pro and for some reason cannot runEFI Studio on my Powerbook G4 – ‘not supported on this architecture’ – It requires an Intel Macright??

22.

On January 23rd, 2010 at 1:33 pm Moz Says:

@KrisYou’re right about EFI studio mate. I once had that graphics card, but swapped it firstly for a RadeonHD 3650 and then later for a nVidia 8400. The nVidia cards are just way more compatible.

Regarding the spinning wheel: It’s really hard to say what your exact issue is. I’m assuming youhave tried booting using the ‘-v‘ ? Though it sound like you are booting fine. Perhaps give theprocess another go. I can only guess that there might be corrupt files on the USB drive.

Good luck Kris, be sure to let me know how you get on. Hopefully together we can get it working.

possibly a problem with my graphics card? I have a radeon 3870 HD 512mb

Any ideas?cheers

On January 31st, 2010 at 6:54 pm Moz Says:

@AndrewFirstly, I’m assuming you’re using the DSDT I provided? If you are, I suggest creating your ownDSDT as it sounds like your system maybe slightly different to mine. You’ll need DSDT patcherwhich can be downloaded from PCWiz: http://tinyurl.com/c9de3b.Once you have a new DSDT, you’ll need to tweak it to stop the CMOS reset bug. Have a Googlearound for how to do this, or send me your DSDT and I’ll do it for you. Email me [email protected]

Other things to consider…

Are you running in ACHI mode? I’m guessing you probably are.Does the boot just fail? Or do you get “Waiting for Root device” ?Are you using an EFI string for your graphics card? If you are, try booting without it.

Let me know how you get on.

Moz

25.


Thanks for the quick reply, and yes i am using the files you provided.

I’m not sure what to do with the DSDT patcher? I dont have mac running on the computer i want toinstall Snow Leopard too, just windows, i’m using a OSX laptop to do the mac parts.

As for ACHI mode, no idea on that, the only disk option i saw in the bios was raid / no raid

My PC is a Dell XPS 420, which should be almost identical to the 9200, and I have tried with EFIstring in the plist and no efi string.

Both just stop, no error.

And when i re-enabled my ethernet card the boot process got slightly further, but just halted afterloading the ethernet card so i dont think the code i posted before is the problem?

26.


@AndrewThe setting in the BIOS should be ‘no RAID’.Unfortunately the DSDT patcher will be of no use if not using it on the installation machine. Tryremoving the DSDT file from the USB. It’s not always needed.Have you also tried giving iPC 10.5.6 a go? This might be a good starting point. I was using thisdistro for over a year and served me very well.

27.


17 of 21 5/8/10 5:34 PM

I would also suggest you check out this thread on Insanely Mac. I think the 410 is slightly closer toyours than mine. Note that thread has been going for over three years and there’s a ton of useful info.

Moz


No luck with moving ndst, If I get a 10.5.2 distro working on it will thqt produce the file needed tomake it boot? Cheers. I need 10.6 for latest sdk development

28.


@AndrewHopefully it should do yes. I’ve had a quick Google around and it would appear those errors are notlinked directly to the failure; people are still booting fine when receiving this error.Wish I could help more but hopefully you’ll get there in the end. Good luck.

29.


Ok thanks for the help, can you still help with the dtst mod if I get 10.5.2 loaded? Cheers for thetutorial

30.


Definitely Andrew. Give me a shout when you’re up and running.

31.


Right, its kinda working, clicking on any menu, you cant see the options, just white spaces, andethernet not working, but i can now run the patcher, what should i do?

32.


Tried all the options for the patcher individually, no effect, the usb key just hangs, and nothinghappens

33.


Got the leopard 10.5.2 install to work with wireless adapter, and fixed the menu problem, but got nofurther with snow leopard, and i cant run the sdk on 10.5.2.

34.

On February 2nd, 2010 at 3:35 pm Moz Says:

@AndrewGreat that you’ve managed to get 10.5.2 up and running.If you run the DSDT Patcher, select Darwin/Mac OS X, and ‘Force Compile’. If you send me overthe resulting file I can try editing it to fix the CMOS reset bug.

35.

On February 6th, 2010 at 11:44 am Andrew Says:

Tried substituting the DSDT for the one in your files on my usb stick, it didnt work, still hanged on

Followed the guide on here:http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-install-snow-leopard-on-a-pc-t3137/

For editing DSDT, but i dont think simply changing the length in DSDT to 02 is going to work,going to try now.

37.


Ok that length mod stopped my bios settings from being reset, but the pc still doesnt boot into theinstall mode, any ideas?

38.

On February 6th, 2010 at 7:14 pm Moz Says:

Hi Andrew, sorry I’ve not got back to you sooner.Well it sounds like your DSDT is all good now. What is the exact message when it fails? Are youdefinitely not getting the ‘Waiting for root device’ ?

39.


Here is a photo of the last screen where it freezes:http://i45.tinypic.com/11sicue.jpg

If you cant read it, let me know and i’ll try again.

40.


and here is the previous screen incase that helps:http://i48.tinypic.com/2h66kjc.jpg

(if you want earlier pictures let me know)

41.


Hi Andrew, cheers for putting up your photos. It’s made it a lot easier to understand what’s going on.

I notice that the NTFS driver is being loaded for what looks like a 16GB USB drive. Is this aseparate USB drive? ..and is the drive you’re booting from ‘Mac OS Extended (Journaled)‘Formatted? Sorry if I’m asking you ‘noob’ questions, I just want to make sure everything’s as itshould be.

Also, have you tried booting into single user mode using the flag ‘-s‘ ?

I must admit from looking at those screens, and with my level of hackintosh knowledge, everythingseems pretty okay. Slightly different to when my machine boots but on the whole very similar.

What is dee double-you emm?That would be in the initials of my full name (trying saying it out aloud)

Who is dee double-you emm?My name is David Morris. My friends know me as Moz. I’m a Web Developer. I studied at BournemouthUniversity and am currently employed by Lawton Communication based in Southampton.

What is earthview?The last time I checked google, earthview was a ‘dynamic desktop wallpaper and screen saver’ made byDeskSoft. I can assure you that this site has absolutely nothing to do with that.

So why earthview.co.uk?Many a moon ago, I played drums in a band named Earth and the website was located here. You canprobably find it onhttp://www.archive.org/

Ever considered selling it?If someone offered me £10k I reckon I might be tempted
