Hi,

I just bought a Mini 10v specifically to install Snow Leopard on, but I am having no luck with the 2 USB method. My only 'Mac' is an old Dell hackintosh running Tiger so I guess I am stuck with this method.

It came with Bios A06. I successfully downgraded to A04.
I followed the method 2 instructions in this guide:
NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System | Guides | OS X | mechdrew
using NBI_083RC3 dd Image as mentioned and a retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6 (presumably 10.6.0)

I can boot from the first USB into the Chameleon bootloader. I then select my OSX install USB and I get an apple logo swiftly followed by a Kernel Panic.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x1b497459): "Unsupported CPU: family = 0x6, model = 0x1c, stepping = 0x2"@SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-90/pmProcessor.c:210

Netbook is a Dell Inspiron 1011, Intel Atom CPU N270 @ 1.60Ghz, 1Mb ram. CPU ID is 106C2

In BIOS bluetooth and USB wake support are disabled. USB Legacy support is enabled.

Can anyone help?

Try using the NBI 0.8.3 RC 4. You can download

There is no DD image for RC4, so I don't have that option.

I cannot run the application version on a Tiger-equipped Mac.

Sounds almost like your SL image is 10.6.2... I echo the suggestion that you try 0.8.3RC4. You are correct that there is no flat image file of it that works with dd (would be nice if mechdrew would explain how to make one--I tried several methods unsuccessfully). However, if you have an external USB CD-ROM, you can burn the .iso of 0.8.3RC4 to disc and use that to install the SL image that is on the flash drive.

im having the same problem and have heard many others have it to. Just emailed mechdrew, and just waiting on reply hopefully some1 can find a way around the problem

hey londonbabe and others with the same problem


just recived an email for mechdrew and he said "There are some steps below step 8 that say they are for Windows 7, they will actually work on XP (I will be updating the guide next week to reflect this fact) I want you to use the technique described there to copy your ISO to the flash drive. It has been more successful for most people.

Here are the steps below

Type "dd bs=1M if=C:\NBI_083RC3.img of=\\.\PhysicalDrive#"
(This # is the disk number for the smaller USB drive.)
Some people have had difficulty on Windows 7 getting it to copy over the image file, reporting an error. Make sure you have opened the Command Prompt with the "Run as Administrator" option, then follow this:

• Once navigated to the C:\ folder, type "dd --list". This will bring up a long list of drive information.
• Starting at the top of the list (you'll probably need to scroll up) find the section that is associated with your USB drive(s). It will look similar to:
  \\.\Volume{96650542-b9ef-11de-8e5d-0022e88c179a}\
  link to \\?\Device\HardDiskVolume3
  fixed media
  mounted on \\.\g:
  You want the one with the same drive letter at the end as the drive you are trying to image, your numbers will be different obviously.
• Instead of entering \\.\PhysicalDisk# in the dd command above, you want to replace it with your Volume{#} string. So in my example, my command would look like: "dd bs=1M if=C:\NBI_083RC3.img of=\\.\Volume{96650542-b9ef-11de-8e5d-0022e88c179a}". Make sure you have the correct volume, I'd hate for you to mess up your hard drive.

So hopefully that helps you and works

I could try that but I'm not sure what difference it would make.
Just to clarify, I made my Chameleon USB stick on my 10.4.8 Tiger hackintosh, not a Windows machine. I don't believe that there was any problem creating the bootloader.

I would really like to try RC5 but until there is a DD image I have no way of trying it.

I am going to try installing with a bitTorrented SL image to see what happens.

The difference is that those commands are very specific. The original instructions just give it a volume ID, not the actual device ID, so sometimes the code doesn't get wrote where it needs to.

Hey I appear to be suffering from this problem as well is there any sign of a dd image of 0.8.3 RC5? I have no access to a USB CD/DVD drive and I got snow leopard to put on my mini 9...
