whats your hardware? and idk if u mentioned it b4 but did u ever have mac on that laptop b4?
And also heres a outline of what I did to get Snow Leopard on my laptop. I installed iDeneb 10.5.6 on my HDD and had 3 partitions under the GUID partition scheme. The 1st partiton was called SnowLeopard, 2nd TempLeopard, 3rd SnowImage. 1st partition = whatever was left in free space, 2nd partition = 20GB, 3rd partition = 8gb. I "obtained" a snow leopard retail 6GB image and restored it to the SnowImage partition I then followed some guide to install Chameleon RC4 to my flash drive. After that, I had to make a custom boot.plist with the 950gma device-properties string. (My laptop can use vanilla 950gma kexts, but only with the EFI string). With that being done, I had no kexts in the Extras folder (most people need to disable IntelCPU Power management or whatever its called.). When installing SL however, most people will experience their CMOS being reset to default settings (slightly scary to see that at first). Whatever snow leopard does, it ends up corrupting something, and wiping CMOS settings. This can be fixed with a patched DSDT.aml along with many other things. I can't really go too much into detail about the DSDT, but this file has to do with ACPI tables or whatever. The ACPI tables that come with most BIOS's is incomplete, and only works best on Windows. Mac, doesn't like that too much. The DSDT.aml file is basically a more optimized version of your ACPI tables. Unix and Linux Operating systems can preload this file instead of using the one on your BIOS. Patching the DSDT.aml file once you obtain it though isn't hard with the right guide. Basically, you can fix most issues by messing with this file (ethernet not being detected, audio not working from mic, USB loosing power, etc). And if you even wanted to take it a step further, you can optimize a DSDT and then include it in a system bios file and flash your BIOS. I did this before after optimizing my ACPI tables with a tool from Intel (Intel ASL optimizer maybe idk). It made thousands of optimizations to my tables. I then use phoenix bios editor, and then switched the old tables with the new one. My system started back up nicely but I can't say if I noticed a difference in performance or not... But in some cases, this can even get you better performance from certain devices. but at the bare minium, for snow leopard, you need a copy of DSDT.aml patched with the CMOS fix (i dont think you could use other people's dsdt unless its for ur laptop/mobo). Well, you don't 100% need it but then again having CMOS being reset everytime on reboot isn't too good... Also if you forget to patch the DSDT with the CMOS fix, its not the end of the world. The thing I mentioned about it corrupting something in CMOS, this isnt permanent. You could continue to boot SL without the fix, and then go back to windows, and all would be the same.
