You should be able to do it, IF it works then you can USE both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 as a dualboot. Note: This is a guide for installing Snow Leopard not the old Leopard If you want to use the older version on OSX which is 10.5 aka Leopard get the iDeneb 1.4 ( 10.5.6) from the usual places I will guide you in few parts to keep things simple PART 1: Preperation Step 1: Goggle for Empire EFI. ( Empire EFI is better! ) Step 2: It should be available in a iso format. So slow burn ( 12x ) to a dvd. Yes these are the boot loaders and you might want to have two handy rather than 1 Step 3: Go to any Apple of Apple Reseller and buy Snow Leopard Retail DVD ( Costs about $29 ) OR Go ask one of your friends or neigbours and burrow one ( NOTE: The dvd which is shipped with any Mac, iMac, Mac book is not compatible - You need the retail version ) Step 4: After you get your hand on them. You need to change few things in your Motherboard BIOS.

IF you have a spare SATA hard drive handy plug it in and disconnect your Windows boot hard drive to minimize accidental formatting. Step 5: Go to your motherboard BIOS set up and change the storage type from SATA/ IDE to AHCI ( Advance Host Controller Interface ). Please note when connecting SATA cables to motherboard, it should be connected to your Intel South bridge disk controller.

NOT the Marvell chip. On P6T Deluxe this is the Dark Red SATA ports ( If unsure please refer Motherboard User manual ) Step 6: ATI graphic cards are known to give errors during installation ( from prior experience with most boot loaders ) It is advised to get your hands on a cheap nVidia graphics card. Any 8000 or 9000 series card will do ( cheack ebay for a cheap second hand 8400GS or 8600 GT) IF cannot dont worry but be prepared to greet with Kernel panics during the process Step 7: Use the Empire EFI boot DVD / CD and enter it in to your DVD rom drive. Make sure that in BIOS you have set the boot priority for DVD/CD first then Hard Drive Restart your computer and on reboot the CD should start loading Empire EFI un to your RAM, this might take a minute or two.

Step 2: Wait for 30 seconds and press F5 on your keyboard. Step 3: Now you should be able to see the MAC OSX intallation option screen. Press TAB KEY and you should see a screen similar to this Choose the appropriate one which indicates the MAC OSX installation disc by using UP DOWN arrow keys. Step 4: Now just type '-x -v' without the quotations and press enter.

(a single space between -x and -v ) Note: -x is the Safe Mode, while booting in safe mode you might be able to get in to th3e MAC OSX installation screen after about 5 - 15 minutes -v is Verbose mode. It shows every process in a text form. This is helpfull if your installer gets stuck and you need to report this to the guys on the forums for help! Note 2: If you do not get to the boot screen in 30 minutes repeat Part 2 few times. Note 3: If you see a jagged screen of grey and white or some other colour, it is most probably due to your graphics card being ATI ( this can be fixed after the installation but DOES NOT HELP during the installation process ) I do recommend you alt east lend a nVidia card from a friend or buy a cheap one Step 5: Ones you get to the installer screen go to the top.

System Specs for system that this guide was written for: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 2.6 GHz 2 GB DDR2 Memory IDE (PATA) DVD/CD-RW combo drive IDE (PATA) 80 GB Maxtor Hard Drive Software needed: Empire EFI 1.085 R2 AMD compatible Boot CD found Mac OSX Snow Leopard Retail 10.6 DVD disk Nforce ATA Kext, Nforce Lan Kext and Kext Utility file found VoodooHDA Kext (found on the Empire EFI 1.085 Boot CD) NVenabler kext found or on the Empire EFI 1.085 R2 AMD boot CD link previously given above. Instructions: download the Empire EFI 1.085 R2 AMD compatible Boot CD Iso images using the link I provided at the start of this guide. You may want to try both versions of the iso on a rewritable disk to determine which works better for you. On my particular M68M-S2 Motherboard I have to use the Legacy version as the regular version reboots my system and doesn't load properly.

Boot your system using the Empire EFI Boot CD, after it has booted eject it and insert your Snow Leopard install DVD and then wait until the drive stops flashing and then press F5, this should refresh the menu options so that you now see Mac OSX Install DVD instead of Empire EFI. Press Enter to Boot your Mac OSX Install DVD and start the OSX Snow Leopard Operating System Installation. Make sure you partition your hard drive as a MacOS Journaled drive with GUID format, select the desired fonts,etc. And then install Snow Leopard. If you get an error about the system not being able to bless the drive don't panic, this is common, you'll be using the empire efi boot cd to boot your system until you get the myhack bootloader software installed. When the install finishes reboot your system, remove the Snow Leopard install DVD and reinsert your empire efi boot cd and allow the system to boot from it. At the chooser screen select the hard drive (named to whatever you named it to during the install) and then hit enter to boot.

If you want to watch a verbose boot to watch for errors press the down key after selecting this disk and choose the verbose option and then press enter to boot. After the system has booted you'll want to go into the post-installation folder on the empire efi disk, and run the myhack installer. Do a customized install and then select the chocolate kernel as you'll need this before you attempt to download and install any updates from apple for Snow Leopard. If you are using a USB keyboard and Mouse, then all you'll need to do is select the chocolate kernel option and go with the other previously selected options, but if you are using a PS2 Keyboard or Mouse you need to also select PS2Controller in addition to the other selected options. This will add the needed Kext file to make your PS/2 Devices work. Note: I don't advise using the sleep enabler kext, as you'll run into problems with updating your kernel if you use this kext, it's not really needed unless you absolutely want or need the ability to put your hackintosh to sleep. After Myhack is done installing we need to get the nforce ata kext and the nforce lan, voodoohda sound and nvenabler nvidia video kexts installed.

Copy AppleNforceATA.kext to /Extra/Extensions and copy nForceLAN.kext to /System/Extensions 2. Copy the voodoohda.kext file from the Empire EFI boot CD that is found in the /post-installation/universal drivers(kexts) folder to /System/Extensions 3. Extract the nvenabler64-1.kext.zip file found in this same location or use the one I provided the link to and then copy the nvenabler 64.kext to /Extra/Extensions Use the Kext Utility program I provided with the kexts to repair the file permissions for these files and then generate new cache files with these files added to the cache. Remove the Empire EFI Boot CD and then restart your Hackintosh. If everything went ok you should now be able to boot into OSX from the myhack (chameleon) bootloader that you installed.

If everything went well you should now have the ability to change your video resolution and you should have a fully working network card and sound card. Congratulations on your new fully working AMD Hackintosh system. A Final Note regarding this guide, I’ve ran into some issues with my system that seem to be related to the built in sleep functions for Snow Leopard and how the AMD Cool and quiet bios functions work. This would cause the system to go to sleep even though I didn’t install the sleep enabler kext, and the system would ignore all input from the USB keyboard and mouse. I was able to work around this issue by going into the Snow Leopard power management settings and setting the sleep setting to never. At this writing my M68M-S2 system has been running for 3 days and hasn’t had anymore problems with this happening.

I wanted to advise everyone about this particular problem and how to work around it if you experience it. If you run into any problems head over to the forum to ask for help The main thing to remember when asking for help. Patience, it may take a couple of days before someone answers your question, don't get pushy and don't keep posting the same question over and over. Scan the forum and make sure that someone else hasn't posted a similar problem, if they have you may already have the answer to your question. Understand that running a hackintosh isn't for the average person, you have to be willing to work on problems by yourself if you can't get anyone to assist you. Being pushy or disrespectful of others on the forum will cause your questions to be ignored.

Remember you're on your own if you do decide to build your own hackintosh. If you want a smooth out of the box experience, you should probably save up the money and buy yourself a real Macintosh system from Apple. I'm too cheap to do this, and I'm the kind of person that I think it's fun when you have to work a little to get something to run the way you want it to. Having warned you about these things, I hope those of you who do decide to continue with building a AMD M68M-S2 hackintosh have fun and learn a lot from the process. I remain your obedient servant Doctor Evil 30564. @Hauke I think it would work with that board, I've looked at it in the store and it looks to be very similar to the M68M-S2 it's probably a newer revision of it.

For my guide I used a PNY 512 megabyte 9400GT PCI-E video card instead of the onboard card, but I'm pretty sure the onboard card would work with the nvenabler kext that I referenced in the guide. I'm not sure about the chocolate kernel, if you use the myhack installer without any changes it sets the system to use 32 bit mode. I think you can turn that off if you make sure that all of the kexts you use are 64 bit though check over on insanelymac.com and also try contacting the creator of the myhack installer for more info.

I repurposed my system and it's not running osx on it anymore or I'd try testing it out and post an update to the article. @davy you may want to try both versions of the bootcd if you haven't already. Also make sure you're not running the install with your processor overclocked or anything else that might could cause issues.
