jeanle2007 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Is it possibile to use an internal hdd or partition of the main one instead of a usb stick as my usb ports are working at 1.0 on my Leopard install? Yes, it worked for me. You can for example use the first phase of this guide http://www.insanelymac.com/2009/08/how-to-...-pc-hackintosh/ and then proceed with the myhackinstaller that you will launch from your working leopard installation.

Jailbreakboy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 can anyone answer the question of why i have to type in the following command to allow snow leopard to boot - - rd=disk0s2... im guessing it is because SL can not find the harddrive were i have SL installed but when I edit com.apple.boot.plist it never works.

hockeyman96 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm trying to create my usb in disk utility but it says it will take about 20 hours to complete. I have a reformatted usb flash drive and my mac is using usb 2.0. I followed the screenshots in this post and they look the same. Any ideas?

Give it 15 minutes and it'll probably say 1 hour left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdickinson66 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 MyHack sucks. I went out and bought exactly what this guy lists on his website as working. http://osx86.sojugarden.com/installer/ On the web page he gives: "Recommended systems known to work very well : Budget Build | Enthusiast Build | Professional Build" So I bought : Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Motherboard EVGA 512-P3-N973-TR GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB Intel Core i7 Processor i7-920 2.66GHz 8 MB Loaded up Snow Leopard and followed the directions to the letter. It works except the Graphics Card is stuck in VESA 800x600 No matter what I try it is stuck in this mode. I have read everything on the web and tried every possible suggestion and solution. Am I missing something here ? Is this some kind of practical joke? Charles I don't think I have been so disappointed ever in my entire life. Here is what my system profiler reads:GeForce 9800 GT: Chipset Model: GeForce 9800 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0605 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: xx.xx.xx - internal Displays: Display: Resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Display Connector: Seems like it should have worked within the Chameleon from what I've read with just this : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1024x768x32</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>1</string> </dict> </plist> Nope doesn't seems to do anything. I also tried adding a EFI String , and NVenabler.... But really from what this MyHack guy says I should not have had to do anything with this hardware. Anyone out there? MyHack guy?

mimmosenzu Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! With this guide I finally managed either to install Mac OS X on my own P5B board when I completely lost hope, and what's better, I'm finally well inside the wonderful "OSx86" world: I now know how to use kexts, what's the DSDT and what to do in order to patch it, and the top OSx86 resources. Your service is appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
