Rz/Di Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hello, so i'm interested to try a hackintosh on my HP pavilion... But i don't know how to do, and my HP pavilion doesn't have windows ( It has Linux Ubuntu ) and i don't know if making a hackintosh is possible on Linux Ubuntu... Can someone explain me how to do a hackintosh and if it possible to do it on Linux Ubuntu ? P.S: I already have a MacBook Pro, i want to do a hackintosh to have fun and to learn a few things. Thanks Rz/Di Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132204-how-to-install-leopard-on-a-hp-pavilion-dv8000/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

realityiswhere Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nobody knows how to install a hackintosh on my HP pavilion ? I'm sure plenty of people know how, but you're not providing any info. You can't make people guess at what hardware you have, or which exact model HP you have, or even make them look it up for you, it makes no sense at all. You haven't provided the motherboard (with northbridge/southbridge), the processor, video card, RAM, NIC/Wifi (if applicable). Installing osx86 is not like installing windows or linux where most hardware will have some form of support, unless you know your exact hardware then you're SOL.

Rz/Di Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hello, I tried lots of times to do a hackintosh... But each time I try, the BIOS shows me an error message after I boot on the DVD. I tried Kalyway 10.5.2, but when it booted this message appeared 3 times EBIOS read error: Device timeout Block-1705792 Sectors 64 I tried BrazilMac and Ideneb but both of them after the DVD boot shows me this message: Memory allocation error (Oxdeadbeef , 0x0 ) I tried the tutorial shown on this page http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=115877 But that was the result. These are the caracteristics of my Pavilion: Name: HP Pavilion DV8000 Screen size: 17" RAM: 2 GO DDR2 667Mhz SDRAM ( 2 * 1024 MO ) Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GO 7600 Hardware: 120GO SATA ( 5400 @ rpm ) processor: Intel centrino duo 1.83 Ghz Wifi card: 802.11a Help me please thanks Rz/Di Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132204-how-to-install-leopard-on-a-hp-pavilion-dv8000/#findComment-943166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Please don't start a new topic just because the old one got no answers. Simply asking for help will get you nowhere. By the scarcity of information you have provided, you make it clear that you have expended very little effort to achieve your goal. Spend more time reading and experimenting.

hoihtah Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have dv8333cl (a dv8000 from costco) It sounds like you have the same one as I do. I have successfully installed OSX after many hours of tinkering with it. iDeneb 10.5.5 customize with these options -Audio : AC97Audio -Chipset : ICHx Fix -Fix : IOUSBFamilyFix, Powermanagement, PowerOff_Fix -Video : Nvidia : NVinject 256 You can try other settings, but that's what worked for me. after install follow the directions from the link below. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=123774 I had to do this to get my computer to run at 1.86GHz... otherwise, it just get stuck at 1GHz even with cpu load. As for getting ethernet/wifi to work, I ended up going with a pccard cardbus option. When I find out how to get that ethernet port to work, I'll post back. And as for wifi, if your system is like mine, you should have Intel 3945 mini-pcie card. Currently there's no working solution for that... though it is under development. I went and tried few different mini-pcie cards... none of them worked so far.

Or are owners of the dv8333cl ridiculously lucky and we can just throw in iDeneb and go? I have a dv8333cl also and would like to tinker (Already have my HP desktop running 10.5.5 ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132204-how-to-install-leopard-on-a-hp-pavilion-dv8000/#findComment-1017968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
