10.6.X on X60/T60/X61 (CoreDuo,Core2Duo/GMA950,GMA3100)
What you need:
- Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail DVD (29$ only !)
- 8 Go USB Key ("USB Key")
- 2,5 External HDD ("HDD Snow")
- Mac/Hack under 10.5/10.6 ("MacOSX")
- This Folder : MacPNT Package (current version is "2011 02 15")
(I've made a BootCD_MacPNT (X60 with a 10.6.0 Retail DVD) if you don't have a Mac/Hack or a 8GB USB Key and if you don't need MBR … Just follow the "Step 2" of iBoot guide and come back to "First Boot")
Custom Package
- If you have a CoreDuo and a GMA950 : you don't have to modify anything ! You can go to the step 1) !
- If you have a Core2Duo and a GMA950 : use the "X60 (Core2Duo / GMA950)" files.
- Replace "DSDT.aml" and smbios.plist in /Extra
- Replace "LegacyX60T.kext" in /Extra/Extensions - If you have a Core2Duo and a GMA3100 : use the "X61 (Core2Duo / GMA3100)" files.
- Replace DSDT.aml and smbios.plist in /Extra
- Delete "LegacyX60T.kext" and "VoodooHDA.kext" from /Extra/Extensions
- Copy "LegacyX61T.kext" and "Intel82566MM.kext" in /Extra/Extensions
- Copy "AppleHDA.kext" in /System/Library/Extensions/
Step 1) USB Key
- On "MacOSX"
- Format the "USB Key" (HFS+) and the "HDD Snow" (HFS+)
- Restore Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail DVD on the "USB Key" (with disk utility)
- Copy /MacPNT folder on "USB Key"
- Install "Chameleon RC4-AsereBLN-1.1.9" ON THIS "USB KEY" (be careful this could damage your own hardware)
- Copy (or replace) /Extra folder from the package to the "USB Key" root folder
- If you need a MBR partition table :
- Launch "ShowAllFiles" and select "Show"
- Replace:
— "OSInstall.mpkg" in Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Installation/Packages
— "OSInstall" in /Volumes/"USB Key"/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSInstall.framework/Versions/A/
- Launch once again "ShowAllFiles" and select "Hide"
Note :The files of the packages are made for a 10.6.0 Retail DVD, and for a 10.6.3 Retail DVD - Run "pfix" or "Kext Utility" and select your "USB Key"
Step 2) 10.6 Installation
- Boot on the "USB Key" (if you get a kernel panic, diagnose it using the -v boot option —- search on the error message and you will hopefully find a page which has a solution such as: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191948-how-to-fix-it-comappleiokitioatafamily250/ )
- Install Snow Leopard on your "HDD Snow"
