Michal you should check the log to understand where is the problem, try starting with verbose mode (-v -x or only -v).

I’m using that method http://macyourpc.com/2009/09/13/mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-retail-install-boot-132-method/ and I can install it but after I create account and install all kext I reboot and it stops… How did you install your copy of SL? (I have Dell 1520 with gma950)

Disable INTEL SPEEDSTEP in the bios before booting.

All the accelerations work.

Shutdown no, as for Leopard, but i keep always turned on (at least two week on without shutdown) so isn’t so important in my case.

Hi! I’ve installed SL succesfully, everything works except the broadcom 440x. Sorry i didn’t describe it accurately… it works.. but if I going to download something or I do something that needs big traffic and network usage the connection will be dropped. Any idea ?

Disable from the bios INTEL SPEEDSTEP option, in my case it’s the culprit of boot crashes; after the installation you can reenable it.
