hope someone can help me, i have the exact same hardware which is used in tonymacx86 customac mini, i got it to run from my original 10.6 (not 10.6.3!) install disc, but after installing the 10.6.8 combo update and multibeast as mentioned in the tutorial, i got stuck at the grey apple boot screen with the spinning wheel at the bottom... does anybody have an idea how to fix this problem?

I'm unable to get the 64-bit logo working. I've followed the directions, but no luck. Is there a way to check and see if I'm running in 64-bit, but just missing to logo?

I've used the version of multibeast used in this guide as well as the version 3.9.0.

I'd like to eventually install 10.7, but would like to get this fixed before I go any further.

Any help would be greatly apprecriated.

Ok... it's a pitty.... I just posted this question because on Lion it's possible to build a http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/search/label/CustoMac custom mac mini using an integrated Intel Graphics.

Well i found something new... it's quite strange i followed another post to try to build the mac in the meanwhile.

This posts also is a installation method from 10.6 to 10.6.7... i also get stuck at boot time with another sound problem here is the post

But some has fixed my installation... after get stuck at sound problems with 10.6.7 then i reinstalled but not fresh installation just installing on the main disk without erasing anything then with iboot i could boot... ****ing weird but it works. And also the sound too!!! digital ouput not the 1900x1080 just 1024...

What i want to do is know how to backup a partition where i have installed the mac to revert easy and fast??

Thanks!!

Thanks for the heads up vancityex. Is this true even for the 2600k and 2700K with the HD300?
