Ok guys.. I tried to do it over again following these instructions to a tee:
http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-install-for-g31m-t3672/but I get the SAME problem.. I get to the Chameleon screen.. I select my hackintosh install it starts to load then it restarts, shows the IBM splash screen, and then goes back to the Chameleon screen..
any thoughts??
thanks much.
