Thomasssss Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi! I'm working on my Hackintosh for 4 days now, and I can't find the good solution. I tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-GE, with normal boot, -x mode cpu=1 mode and busratio=21 mode and the combinations of these, but I never had a good installation. First I got "dirty disc error", but it's a fake, because the disc runs on my gf's mac or just simply don't get the installation screen. I use the retail dvd of Snow Leopard. With [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-GE the screen hangs on Nvidia Geforce GT 420M 0MB line with -x mode. I haven't tried -x32 mode. My specs are: CPU: Intel i5 560M Main board: Intel HM57 (Dell l501x) BIOS version A04 RAM: 4GB DDR3 Sound card: Realtek ALC665 Video Card: Intel HD + Nvidia Gefore 420M 1GB with optimus Wifi card: Intel Wireless N 1000 Is it possible someway to install snow leopard on it? Or does it worth it? I mean is it a huge performance difference between using SL as a virtual machine or as a normal operation system? Now I try to get my DSDT.aml from a program called AIDA64 on windows 7 ( I hate windows ) But Im not sure why is it useful for PRE-installation. Can I include it in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] if I customize it and does it make my installation more succesful? thx!

I realised that my problem was that the .iso of the retail went wrong during the burning...sucks.. so now I will try the process again. But anyway: can you use the wifi card? Cause I can't live without wifi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasssss Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 wifi doesn't work "today" but I don't search to much for that.I think u can use a usb dongle wifi.see you.... Hi! I started installing again with a retail dvd from apple shop. I could manage to partition my HDD, put win7 on one part and started installing snow leo on first. Nawcom boots, ok, flags: -x -v busratio=20 (cause I have i5 560m cpu) and intsallation starts, but hangs on 27minutes left... what should I do now?

alepartt Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 what u mean for hang?got a kernel panic?I dont tried a dual boot with windows 7 but I think is better install osx in hd and then partition by disk utility and install w7(search for guide dual boot)try to install without flags -x -v start only with the busratio.

Thomasssss Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi again! Finally I managed to install with nawcom mod cd without the -x flag. Now I have snow leo installed on partition 1 and win 7 on partition two. I installed 10.6.6 combo update and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method with some additional kexts. I had to reinstall windows 7 cause it went wrong after the installation of SL. Results: Video card does not work...just 1024x768 resolution. I can boot to SL with the nawcom cd but it's slow and not so comfortable. I installed EasyBCD to windows, then I can boot to chameleon without the cd but then I can't run SL. It starts booting but after some seconds the pc restarts without booting. So I can just boot into SL with the nawcom cd, but not via chameleon. Is it possible someway to boot into SL without the nawcom cd? I'm searching for a solution where I can choose between the two OS and what boots quickly. Other: Wifi card does not work...is there any kexts for it? But the good news are: USB works, HD webcam works, Touchpad works And after the long booting process it's quite quick. Thx for helping!

Thomasssss Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi! I tried to make my custom dsdt today with DSDTSE. I started with compile-ing but I still have some issues: The error list is the following: Intel ACPI Component Architecture ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20091214 [Dec 16 2009] Copyright © 2000 - 2009 Intel Corporation Supports ACPI Specification Revision 4.0 /Users/kaldoritamas/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware/DSDT/DSDTFiles/dsdt.dsl 4744: Arg0 Error 4096 - syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_ARG0 ^ /Users/kaldoritamas/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware/DSDT/DSDTFiles/dsdt.dsl 4744: Arg0 Warning 1100 - Statement is unreachable ^ /Users/kaldoritamas/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware/DSDT/DSDTFiles/dsdt.dsl 5033: Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized) Warning 1088 - Not all control paths return a value ^ (_BQC) /Users/kaldoritamas/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware/DSDT/DSDTFiles/dsdt.dsl 5033: Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized) Warning 1081 - Reserved method must return a value ^ (_BQC) ASL Input: /Users/kaldoritamas/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware/DSDT/DSDTFiles/dsdt.dsl - 12385 lines, 374388 bytes, 4048 keywords Compilation complete. 1 Errors, 3 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 11 Optimizations Can somebody has an advice how to continue?

Thomasssss Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi! After reading and reading and reading enormous amount of forums, my Hackintosh is still a {censored}. I understood that these bootloaders are kinda similar just their com.apple.boot.plist files are different and the chameleon version. We can use the nawcom mod cd or the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] as well just we have to use the graphicsenabler=no flag. I installed the newest Chameleon (r700) now when it boots with graphicsenabler=yes flag it realises that its Nvidia Geforce GT420M but 0MB and hangs...no boot. So I still can't boot from hard disk...just with nawcom cd. Or if I use grapgicsenabler=no i can boot from hdd, but then I don't have touchpad or keyboard. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?? I reinstalled voodooPS2 several times but no luck. I also included the compiled DSDT.aml...but why?? No performance effect. Video card doesnt work...and maybe it won't....wifi neither....29$ for the retail for a useless half OS...great :S Does anybody have any succes with these issues?

ReArmedHalo Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey everyone, I too have a l501x and am trying to install OSX on it. I havn't started yet because i havn't found any good information yet. I see that some here have had some success. I am new to the whole hackint0sh thing as my previous computer i wasn't able to run it properly (or even at all sometimes) I just had a few questions (and sorry if the answers are in posts above i must have missed it) -What distro did you guys use? -What options do i need to select (if any) during the install process? -Anything else i should know? Again, sorry if these questions have been answered. I am really eager to try and get this working. If I figure out anything i will def let you guys know too. -ReArmedHalo http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=247741 check this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
