![]() ![]() Once installed I booted directly to the Mini's hard drive (TDM) via the MBP and ran Software Update to get to 10.6.8. I ejected the retail version of OS X, input the Recovery disk I got with the MBP (which is 10.6.3) and the install continued as usual. Well it turns out that the MBP is attempting to boot from the SL disk (10.6.0), however this machine requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.3 so the boot was hanging. This is where my MBP was freezing up and I couldn't understand why. There is a step after all of the applicable files are copied to the Mini (TDM) where the Source machine reboots and is supposed to continue the install. However I was trying to install the retail Snow Leopard (which is 10.6.0) onto the Mini using an MBP which required 10.6.3! I thought that the Mini was causing the kernel panic when connected in Target Disk Mode. After 6 days and NUMEROUS attempts I have figured out how to get Snow Leopard onto the new Mac Mini!! It turns out I wasn't thinking the problem all the way through. ![]()
