Hi guys,

I have been messing around with hackintosh for about two weeks. I have successfully been able to get leopard and snow leopard on two older Dell Optiplexs. I have a Foxconn Nettop kicking around that I was using as a HTPC running Windows 7 (before I discovered Apple TV). My info is below. I have an 80 gig hard drive and 2 gigs memory (I believe that is what I have. I am on the road and I don't have it in front of me to check). I'm wondering if I can put Mountain Lion on this. Straight up install, no dual boot for the Windows 7 (I actually have a spare hard drive that I could experiment on and put the Windows 7 hard drive back in if I find it doesn't work). As being very new to this, any detailed help would be greatly appreciated. I have googled this topic to see if anyone has tried this on a Foxconn Nettop, but it doesn't seem to be a popular model. I have done both of my installs off iDeneb and Hazard distros.

Thanks in advance

Update...

I was able to install ML with ######. Ethernet, worked out of the gate. I used the ###### to get audio working (Voodoo). SD card reader works too. Wifi is not working and I can't seem to figure out how to get the graphics working...they are very slow. I haven't done a software update from Apple yet, I want to wait until I get atleast graphics working. I have been writing everything down that I have done, so I can write a tutorial. I would like to see if I can get the HDMI working (I haven't tried to hook it up to anything yet, as I doubt it would work). I think I may have Broadcom Crystal HD?

Anyone with any ideas or comments?

Is it possible to patching a working kernel for this mainboard/cpu?

Do I have any hope for this machine?

thanks a lot

I tried usb install but stuck at boot kernel panic

Intall the latest chameleon package and run it to your USB stick, making sure the kernel patcher module is installed on it: it will make the vanilla 10.8.2 kernel boot just fine. Your CPU should be compatible, since it's 64-bit capable.

Best regards!

Finally got 10.8.2 installed on my JetWay JBC600C99352W thanks to this thread. Just one quick question for those of you that have been up and running on 10.8.2 for a while, did you have the need to fix your AGPM for the Nvidia ION/ ION2 to work properly or is it not needed?

Nvidea ION usually works fine oob with chameleon and graphicsenabler=yes with full QE/CI. ION2 on the other hand  is as far as I know problematic...

[theconnactic]

Hey, mtek, i see you switched to a Portegé: how does it fare under 10.8.x, compared to the 1201n (let CPU performance aside, of course)?

[mrintegra]

Guess I will have to install HWSensors and run some videos to see if it throttles properly. Appreciate the input.

After running on 10.8.2 with iStats 4.0.5 installed, the nVidia ION2 seems to be throttling properly. I cannot believe that this machine with a D525 is running OS X pretty smoothly. With Plex installed, it relieves some of the strain when playing back 1080p videos and everything works flawlessly. Thanks to meklort and everyone else who this possible!

I have an Intel D945GCLF2 mobo, which I've had running Snow Leopard.

I'd love to install Mountain Lion.  

Do you think the D945GCLF2 with the addition of this Gforce 610 would accept an install of Mt. Lion?

I ask this because I think the onboard video is no longer supported.

[fantomas1]

if I'm right, your MB has an Atom 330 (2 cores, 64bit) so with this patched kernel, it should be ok  

Intel GMA950 will not work, needs a 32 bit kext and ML is only 64 bit system

but with a GT 610 (OOB working), it should be ok too
