Hello all.

I have a fully working 10.7.4 setup with the following:

Intel Core 2 Quad 8300 2.5 GHz
8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Memory
GTX 550 Ti 1 GB (displays 1536 MB on System Specs)
ASUS P5G41T-M Mobo (G41 Chipset + 82801GB Southbridge)

I tried following a DSDT guide, which ended in disaster. System refused to boot and had to do boot from a CD and remove the DSDT.

I also think my GPU is not being accelerated via hardware. I ran Splinter cell conviction and even on the lowest settings I had major FPS issues.

I am scared to use a DSDT i found online for my mobo, b/c I know they have to be very specific to yours.

Thanks!!

Hello all.

I have a fully working 10.7.4 setup with the following:

Intel Core 2 Quad 8300 2.5 GHz
8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Memory
GTX 550 Ti 1536 MB
ASUS P5G41T-M Mobo (G41 Chipset + 82801GB Southbridge)

Now. I used ###### to enable OpenCL on my GPU. I also used custom ethernet kexts (AppleRTC; AtherosL1cEthernet; SleepEnabler) to get internet and sleep working.

But here is the thing. I also want a working DSDT. I hear, that with this, you don't need all of the 'extra kexts' to get a fully functional hackintosh. How do I proceed? The guides aren't making much sense to me, and I tried following a YouTube video but that went downhill after Step 3.

I also know that you don't NEED to have a DSDT. So should I just leave it?

Help appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello!

I've managed to install Lion 10.7.2 on my PC, and upgraded to 10.7.4. Everything works perfectly. But during boot, I get the following error:

ntfs_fixup: magic doesn't match

I get this 3 times. This is before the Chameleon boot screen, then after I get:

Errors occured during the boot process (or something like that)
Pausing 5 seconds...

Then it boots normally.

I don't mind it, but I'm worried why this is happening.

I'm using Tuxera NTFS to read/write on my 2x1 TB NTFS drives I had with Windows 7, but the data on there is valuable & roughly 1900 GB in total so I can't transfer to another machine and format them.

I dont' want to risk losing the data on those, however, I feel like it won't. Am I safe?

What should I do?
Thanks

EDIT: I've also already googled this, however, I can't seem to find a post(s) that show steps to solve and comments where people have successfully done this.

Hello everyone! Man this place has changed!

I am currently in need of installing 10.7 Lion (or whatever the latest one is) on my computer.

Specs:
Intel Quad Core Q8300 Yorkfield @ 2 GHz
ASUS P5G41T-M Mobo (G41 Chipset + 82801GB Southbridge)
8 GB DDR3 Memory (2x4096MB)
nVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (@ 1GB)

I do a lot of sound editing, mixing, video editing and heavy graphics work. That is my part time career and I actually quite enjoy it. If anyone here has several mixing boards and mics will know how garbage Windows 7 is in terms of releasing drivers to let other programs use it.

In that case, all USB ports, microphone line-in (although I never actually use that) + all the other good stuff must be functional.

I also have dual displays (exact same monitors if that helps, => Dell 2007FPS each at 1600x1200 Resolution). The GPU must work with QE/CI. I'm 99% sure it will though.

I have an ethernet connection. Also I've heard sometimes your CPU will overheat w/ versions of Hackintosh...

Sleep/Resume feature isn't needed but it'd be nice to have it. I've installed a version of Hackintosh before, a long time ago though (a year or two?). So I do know all the fun we have with .kexts.

I don't know how to proceed :S. Hoping someone might lend me a hand? Or a how-to guide. I have a few weeks before I'm back at it. No rush though. I'd rather get all my stuff together first and then do it. Running Windows 7 64 Bit (probably already know that).

Thanks!

Edit: Also if it is any matter, I have 1 Main 150 GB HD + 2x1TB Hardrives. I also have a USB 2.0 HUB + Media Card Reader attached. BIOS is the latest version.
