[Snow Leopard] My opinion

Tyman07 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2008, 06:52 PM

I recently installed the developer preview, and i must say its very stable. Things run pretty awesome and fast. And if anyone is looking for a fast OS
i would totally recommend getting it.

im not going to post links but a google search will solve the problem

and if anyone else has it please post their problems with it
and what programs don't work.
Or just their own review

I have a copy, have you tested any of the pro applications? Im a sucker for new stuff! And i would like to know if final cut, photoshop etc works! If anyone here has tested it can you tell me how well it performs?

I am having problems installing my copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium... fails on Flash.

But then again, the disk is a little scratched. Haven't a clue how as I am normally so careful with my DVDs.

I'm looking forward to how well it'll perform on my Celeron D.

Works like a charm in Celeron D 478 pins (with kernel modified).

PowerPC going down, crap Celeron D going up.

Does this have an expiry date or something...?

Because I got a copy of it and dont mind installing it IF it never expires like other Bets versions of OSs like Microsoft...

Bec. Now I will stop spending on OS upgrades and will run this version of SnowLeopard Developers Preview for a few years....

any hint on how you got it working? i got double kernel panic on intel dual core

tomnic · #8 (**permalink**) 06-28-2008, 05:41 PM

Double panic even there, that's how I tried it:

1. open OSInstall.mpkg from a working Leo 10.5.3 to a GUID formatted blank test Sata Hard Disk

2. Put Chameleon bootloader on that disk

3. Put 32 bit dsmos.kext, ApplePS2, Applesmbios kexts

4. Tried to boot with -legacy flag... double panic

I suppose we need some recompiled hacked 64-bit kexts, just like dsmos, but also AppleACPI... I think it's that stock 64 bit apple kext that generates one of the panic. This is my setup:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L
4 Gigs of DDR2 1066 MHz Ram
Pioneer DVR-212 Sata DVD-RW

Any hint?
