john_paul Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian Hello, i'm new to the forum and i have some dobuts about creating my first hackintosh.

kvonlinee Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You should read about the sucecess story of installing hackintosh. If your machine unable to boot from the usb installer, you can install it on your computer. So I think it is clear where you need to make with those kext. Good luck. Like other said " hackintosh is 5% is luck the rest is fail and research for info" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
