thedor Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hello folks Recently I've been trying to install my first hackintosh. I chose iAtkos L2 (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2). I burned everything I need on DVD's. So I boot up with iAtkos L2, tried various "launch options" (or w/e it called) such as: GraphicsEnabler=No, -x, -v, mach_atom etc. Nothing worked really. I took a video to describe my problem with the iAtkos L2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Zo5fpDQ-E *I'm not trying to do this on a virtual machine.. it was just easier to record* Basically this screen just freeze, and the installation won't start. Can someone know why? My laptop specs: Asus K55VM Intel i7 3610QM nVidia GeForce 630M + Intel HD 4000 Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRacerMaster Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 iATKOS L2 is a Lion 10.7.2 distro. Intel Ivy Bridge processor support and nVidia 6xx series support only came in OS X Mountain Lion. Try this Mountain Lion retail install guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=280756&hl=&fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedor Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hey there! I researched about the 630M, and i found that this model is not supported.. Is there any possible way to turn off the Nvidia card, and enabled the Intel HD4000? I already saw some guys make it work with the HD4000 About the tutorial you gave - I don't have mac yet. (It seems like it's require for this tutorial) The problem of this frozen Apple screen is very common. I didn't find a solution yet, and I search for A LOT of websites..

TheRacerMaster Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Intel HD Graphics 4000 works out of the box in OS X Mountain Lion. nVidia 630M may or may not work in Mountain Lion, but honestly I don't know. You could borrow a friend's Mac or go to the Apple store and do it. The reason that you are getting stuck at the Apple logo is because no Ivy Bridge support like I said earlier. I did a test on a friend's laptop with Ivy Bridge and it got stuck at a black screen in verbose mode and the Apple logo with iATKOS L2. It booted the OS X Mountain Lion installer however.
