Great.

Thanks DislikeYou, your guide is very clear.

I managed to make the hackintos very easily.

It seems to work fine, except the wi-fi integrated not recognize me.

I await instructions to get it going.

Thanks - Maurizio

I don't use WiFi because i have wired Ethernet.

Can you use System Info app and find out more info about the WiFi. http://www.insanelym...howtopic=219584

Write the VEN and DEV id's, or post a screenshot of System Info if you are not sure which of the devices is the WIFI.

Please, can you help me ?

I have the same motherboard and
i7-3370-3.40GHz
nVidia GeForce GT630 1GB
8GB memory

I followed all steps of your guide but I can only boot the system with -x . The system only boot to install with -x and after.
The only difference is the Chameleon 2.1-r2069 that I have installed.
After install I create a folder "Extra" in the HD and I placed inside your extension folder and your dsdt file.
I tried to boot but no success without -x
With -v the boot stop with this screen below. Do you have change something in the Bios ? I have only changed the SATA Mode to AHCI and nothing else.

Please help me

Thanks a lot

adrianomm make sure you are following the steps to the "T" i got mine to work with in a few tries of messing around with the kext files, and everything i need to work works, but what i want is another thing, am having issues changing the smbios w/o my machine kp'ing. but, back to your issues, follow the directions to the letter, andif you have any questions along the way, stop and ask. i'll be happy to help as much as i can.


BTW... you shouldnt have to make the extra folder at all. chameleon does it for you. or it does for me. also, make sure you are installing the kexts using a kext installer for ml.
