I would like to install several Mac OS versions on my iMac. For my everyday work I am using 10.6 and I would like to have two additional fresh installs of 10.6 and 10.7.
Unfortunately, Virtual Machines cannot be used because the graphics hardware performance is not sufficient.
So my approach was to create two additional partitions on my disk, resulting in three partitions called "Macintosh HD", "Mac OS 10.6" and "Mac OS 10.7".
When trying to install 10.6 on the partition "Mac OS 10.6" via the install DVD the procedure was not successful, resulting in a Kernel Panic after system restart. When booting with pressed alt key, I could boot from my main partition. The partition "Mac OS 10.6" just contained some files apparently copied from the installation disk, no more.
My next action was to install rEFIt and to retry the procedure, but I didn't succeed (same results).
Any help is appreciated!
