BLARGiAMdEAD Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I just built a shiny new Core i7 rig a couple weeks ago, and I just recently made it into my first real Hackintosh (before I had hackintoshed a Dell Mini 9, which doesn't really count). So it's running Snow Leopard 10.6.0 w/ graphics, sound, ethernet, and webcam, as well as dual-booting with Windows Vista. However, about 2/3 of the times I boot it, the boot hangs. When I boot with -v, it hangs at various instructions, usually at "Waiting for DSMOS" or "ERROR: Firewire couldn't find the security settings. Defaulting to full-secure" or some such. If you leave it like that for a couple of hours, it will eventually get to the login screen, but it is so sluggish that it is impossible to use. Also, no matter what it takes a long time to turn on. My specs: Asus P6T mobo (non-deluxe) Core i7 920 @2.66GHz 6GB OCZ ddr3 ram @1600MHz nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Please help. Thanks! Oh, and when I was installing Chameleon it said it installed with "some errors". I'm not sure what they were, it didn't say. Also, if I did anything stupidly, it's my first hackintosh install where everything was not like already done for me, so don't blame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
