Well, Ive successfully installed Mavericks 10.9.0, using Niresh's USB Distro. Install went great, I only ran into the root error, which bypassed with just -v -f usbbusfix=yes, nothing worked till I tossed in the -f. I also updated to 10.9.5 using the combo updater, and didn't break anything, no issues with the install. 

 

As far as my laptop goes, specs are...

 

-MSI VR705- (Though my laptop is rebranded Nobilis) 

 

Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz

3 gigs DDR2

Realtek ALC888 (popping & crackling during audio playback)

Ralink RT2790 Wi-Fi (can't get it to work) 

Realtek ALC 8111C Ethernet (works great)

Nvidia Geforce 8200M G (works great) 

 

I really don't understand how to install drivers for hardware on osx86. I'm pretty sure "kexts" are basically the drivers compiled into a single file? And I use a kext installer, to install it, and then I resync the cache and permissions? But what I don't understand is what points the OS to using THAT kext for THAT hardware. I've spent days and days reading, and still don't understand. I think its something to do with DSDT is some type of configuration file that points the hardware to a kext or something? Really don't know. 

 

I've tried installing kexts and stuff to get my sound working right, and still hasn't changed at all. Also tried stuff to get my wifi working, no luck. The biggest reason I wanted osx86 is for iMessage, which gives me an error when I try to login. iCloud, FaceTime and all that work fine. I installed the NVRAM thing, didn't change anything. 

 

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

I got to the point where iMessage says, it cannot be setup right now with my user ID, and need to contact Apple. Progress I guess.
