Install Snow Leopard on ASUS P5L-MX (English version)

I wrote a post on how to install Snow Leoaprd on ASUS P5L-MX motherboard, but some people claims that Google translate doesn’t do a very good job, so I am going to write it in English again. For people who understand Chinese, you will see it’s pretty much the same thing.

ASUS P5L-MX is quite an old board, but it supports most of the things we need for Snow Leopard. If you happen to have this board and don’t know what to do with it, why don’t you follow my post and install a Snow Leopard on it?

What I have for this post:

  • ASUS P5L-MX motherboard
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E2180
  • 2x 2GB DDR2-667MHz
  • nVidia 9400GM Video card
  • Seagate 500GB 7200.12 SATA Hard drive
  • Already-running Mac OS X
  • A Snow Leopard installation disc or image file
  • Snow Installer
  • AzaliaAudio
  • Attansic L1 LAN

在华硕P5L-MX上安装雪豹Snow Leopard

  • 内存:2X2GB DDR2-667
  • 显卡:nVidia 9400GM
  • 硬盘:Seagate 500GB 7200.12 SATA (Seagate中文名字应该是希捷?)
  • 系统:需要一个已经在运行的Mac OS X 系统
  • 文件:雪豹的光盘或者镜象文件,一个音频的kext和一个LAN的kext,还有最重要的Snow Installer,我在这篇post的末尾提供下载。

整个过程其实超级简单,以下是简单的步骤:

1. 用Mac OS将硬盘格式化为 Mac OS Extended (Journaled) 的格式Format2. 放进你的雪豹光盘,或者直接mount up你的雪豹镜象文件,现在你应该看到下面的界面:SnowLeopardInstallation[......]
