This tutorial shows how to install 32bit OS X 10.6.3 on a Gigabyte GA P35-DS3P main board and update to OS X 10.6.7 with Pentium D processor (Pentium D processor and NVIDIA 7200GS are the reason why installation should be 32 bit and not 64 bit (owners of dual core or quad core processor and NVIDIA 8xxx cards or later can follow this tutorial and install it with legacy 64 bit vanilla kernel))
Intel i3 Z77X-D3H, 8GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion Posted on March 30, 2013 by Edinburgh — 13 Comments I just finished setting up my first hackintosh and on the successful conclusion I’d like to share my happiness and joy with all hackintosh fans. This tutorial shows how to install 32bit OS X 10.6.3 on a Gigabyte GA P35-DS3P main board and update to OS X 10.6.7 with Pentium D processor (Pentium D processor and NVIDIA 7200GS are the reason why installation should be 32 bit and not 64 bit (owners of dual core or quad core processor and NVIDIA 8xxx cards or later can follow this tutorial and install it with legacy 64 bit vanilla kernel)).

This tutorial is for educational purposes only. You, of course, assume all responsibility for choosing to follow this tutorial. Also, OS X EULA states that you can run Snow Leopard on Apple labeled hardware only.
BIOS SETTINGS
On start, press delete to load bios, choose “LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS” and than change your settings like on pics bellow (not all changes are essential, but it’s the way i prefer).
If you have dual core or quad core processor, you should change HPET Mode to “64-bit mode” so your system will be 64 bit, pentium d users should leave 32-bit Mode.
Press F10 to save and exit.
Insert iAtkos s3 ver2 10.6.3 DVD and wait, it will boot up installation of OSX, wait and be patient, don’t interupt…
In a while (5-10min) installation should start like on photo bellow, press arrow for next
when install OS X appears go to Disk utility to format your HDD
Select the number of partitions you want and name it the way you want, under “Options” select “guid partition table” and press Apply
Than close Disk Utility and continue installation
Read me and press arrow for nextChoose your HDD where you want to install OS X and press Customize
Select check boxes like on photos bellow…
– choose Chameleon v2 RC5 as a boot loader
– select 32 bit boot (again this is for pentium d users, if u want 64 bit system and have core duo or core quad processor do not select 32 bit boot )
– under Modified kernel use qoopz 10.3.0 (once again this is for pentium d users, if u want 64 bit system and have core duo or core quad processor do not select qoopz kernel, in fact do not select modified kernel at all, and default vanilla kernel will be installed )
– for sound driver select Voodoo HDA, and deselect Apple HDA
– under CPU Power Management select voodoo power and voodoo P-stateNow press ok, and when window is closed, press install and wait while installation finish, when restarted remove your DVD and wait for System to boot…
System should start now, follow the first boot setup of OS X, enter your name, keyboard bla bla … and that’s it. System should be now installed and fully functional, except your graphic card, (depends on what graphic do you have).
Graphic card, in my case NVIDIA 7200GS 256MB works after adding this lines to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file (copy com.apple.Boot.plist to your desktop, so you will be able to edit it)

when line is added, save the file and replace your Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file with the one on your desktop Os x yosemite for mac.
note that NVIDIA 7200GS is not 64bit compatible, so instead you can use NVIDIA 8400GS which is…
for NVIDIA 8400GS you should add
