Administrators Hervé Posted March 11, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2014 You cannot install SL with a DVD that came with a Mac, only with a Retail DVD! There are 3 versions: 10.6, 10.6.3 and 10.6.8. No other version will work. Only the Retail disks/images have all the necessary installation files required for Hackintoshes.
