Here's the problem: I'm stuck on a unicode heart symbol (♥) after installing OS X via Leohazard's 10.6.1-6.2 DVD when Chameleon RC2 should start up. The heart appears right after "verifying dmi pool data".

I also tried booting via EasyBCD's menu entries however I'm met with similar success where the bootloader freezes when there is the spinning wheel of text ( / - \ | / - \, etc). The bootloader simply freezes on one of the characters.

My system specs:

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (2.4 ghz)
  • Gigabyte M61P-S3 with version F7i for BIOS
  • MCP61 rev. A2 chipset
  • 4 gb DDR2 RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ (512 mb)


Some of the options I selected:

  • AppleNForceATA
  • Mobdin Kernel 10.0
  • ElliotForceLegacyRTC
  • AMD Patch
  • (Did NOT select either 10.6.1 or 10.6.2)


--I'm not new to OS X installs on hackintoshes, so I'm really confused as to why this is happening.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thank you,
