webstar1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Guys i have spent around 24 hours since the past 3 days on getting hackintosh. Now long story short i was so happy i got it installed on my laptop that i forgot it was still dependent on my usb to boot and formatted it. and then i went for a restart. now i cant boot. my other pcs dont support vmware due to intel virtulization being software not hardware (dell pc's and dont have option in bios) now, what can i do to get chameleon again to boot? if someone could upload chameleon files in a zip and give them to me? im going to have a mental breakdown ! XD i dont want to spend another 20 hours going back to windows 7 and starting from square 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iraklis79 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 which chameleon files do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Here is an OS X package. To boot back to OS X, download a CD like [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or the OSx86 ModCD, boot to OS X, and then install that package. See if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webstar1 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 i need the files of what the chameleon .pkg installs. i know what to do once i boot back. i installed osx lion with a usb stick that i formatted [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] says it cant boot this version of mac osx guess back to square1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Don't go back to square one. What are the specs of your machine? Unfortunately there is no installation from Windows. You can install Chameleon manually from the Lion installer most likely. If you can't boot into the Lion installer, you can most likely use Linux as well. I can look that up and report back if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Most likely you need a PS/2 kext. Try this package. If it doesn't work, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Do you have a WiFi card already? The only WiFi cards that work with AirPort are Broadcom or Atheros based cards. You can check to see what yours is in Windows; open Device Manager and look for your WiFi card. Right-click it, choose Properties, hit the Details tab, and choose Hardware IDs from the pop-up menu. Note the characters after VEN_ and DEV_. If VEN_ is 168c, you have Atheros, and if it's 14e4, you have Broadcom. If you don't have either, I would recommend you buy an Atheros or Broadcom WiFi card. You can even get a real Mini-PCIe AirPort card if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Okay. Can you get me the device ID of the card? I have a couple of enablers for WiFi. I just need to check if I need to patch it for your card first, so I need the dev ID of your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webstar1 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 i dont have windows. mac is my primary and only. any way to check in mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well, if you only have Mac, download OSx86 Tools, open it, and click View PCI IDs or similar, let it install what it needs to, restart, relaunch OSx86 Tools, click View PCI IDs, and you should be able to recognize your WiFi card. From Linux (you can use the Live CD), open Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type lspci -nn. You will be able to recognize your card; the IDs are enclosed in brackets at the beginning. Your vendor ID is 14e4; I need the other ID.

PookyMacMan Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Put this kext in /Extra/Extensions, then run Kext Utility. Reboot and it should be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webstar1 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks for that, unfortunatley i went away from hackintosh, i was falling behind in my coursework and my hope for a hackintoshed laptop was ove . Hopefully when i have enough stabability in my mind i will try this. However, Click Here As you can see nobody has been able to get my wifi to work at all. which made me lose all the hope and faith i had in this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that. However... That is all the more reason to consider purchasing a new WiFi card. They're very easy to replace, and there are several cards that work out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
