I'm trying to get Mac Os X to work on my Laptop... Here's my specs:

 

BRAND: Acer

MODEL: Travelmate 5742z

CPU: Pentium P6200 (Dualcore, 2.13 ghz, 64BIT)

RAM: 3GB

WIFI: Broadcom

GRAPHICS: Intel HD Graphics (3000 i think, not sure)(1366x768)

HDD: 500GB

PARTITIONS:

 

1) 290GB - Windows 8

2) 140GB - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

3) 66GB - Mac Os X

4) SWAP

 

I tried some hackintosh versions, but none works:

1)Hazard (Snow Leopard), reboots before installation

2)Ideneb / Ideneb 1.3 (Snow Leopard), Grub2 was not able to boot it, not tried again when grub 2 was fixed

3)Niresh Os X (Mountain Lion), the last i tried, won't boot... I get an error (see attached screens)

 

What do i need to do? Do you suggest me another Hackintosh Distribution?

 

EDIT: Tried with -v -x also, won't boot... (see screens)

Thank you for you answer! 

 

Sorry, but without graphics how can it work? I think i need to do something after installation... I'm right?

 

EDIT: I discovered that i have simply Intel HD Graphics, not 3000 one...

hello

 

u can update...

 

and that is a good guide

 

must follow it

 

personally i don't like distros..  when finish install.. is installed so many garbage.. because the user don't know how the right selections.. my advice is to install a original image.. only with the necessary kext to boot a hack

 

good hack

Great! Thank you!

I finally got it to work, but no audio and wifi/ethernet....

My Network Specs are:

 

WIFI: Broadcom BCM43225 - Unsupported

ETHERNET: Broadcom BCM57780 - Supported

 

Should i change wifi card with a compatible one? I'm on a laptop, but i think that it's possible.... If so, which one do you suggest me to buy?

 

And about Audio Driver, where can i find right kexts?
