i-macca Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi Everybody, This is my first attempt at a Hackintosh, I thought it would be nice to use this little machine with my other Apple devices. The ThinkCentre is an i3-2120T with Intel HD 2000 Graphics which I understand can be problematic. I started off with myHack and created a boot USB drive with a Mountain Lion image. Every time I tried this I got to the grey Apple logo and after a few seconds the little whirly icon below it would stop. Running in verbose mode showed that it stalled after: [IOBluetoothHCIController] [Start] -- completed Some research suggested this meant it was stopping when the graphics section was loading. In a slightly desperate move I installed Chameleon 2.1svn on the USB drive and added a set of replacement kexts I found for use with the HD 2000 graphics. To my surprise this worked and allowed me to install Mountain Lion. As prompted by myHack I removed some of the unnecessary kexts before the end of installation. On reboot there doesn't appear to be a bootloader so I've had to boot from the USB drive again and choose the option to boot from the hard disk. When I do this I pretty quickly get a kernel panic: Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.drive.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement Also it is identifying the system as: System model name: iMac8,1 (Mac-F4208DC8 Does this sound right? Any help would be gratefully received! Thanks, iMacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-macca Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I should also mention that I've tried booting with -x but this makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
