MindlessDrone Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have spent the last several weeks getting the parts to make my Hackintosh along with research my install. I have gathered my parts which are: Asus P5W-DH Delus Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad 8 gigs of RAM 500gig WD Sata hard drive Nvidia 8800 GT video card For the install process I made sure my bios is up-to-date, and tweaked it according the the guide on Lifehacker. I used the two guides on the OSx86 wiki along with another that I found on the net. I tried the install using Ideneb 1.4 first and as soon as OS X tried to fire up after the install it would just reboot going into an endless reboot. I then changed to iPC 10.5.6 and followed a couple guides with that, instead of just auto rebooting like the other times it instead just told me I needed to reboot the sytem every time it trys to load. The only strange thing I did to the PC was overclock the CPU a bit, I am not sure how OSX likes that. My question is am I missing a step, is there some patch I need to apply before I fire up the OS for the first time? I am very eager to get this system working. If anyone has any feedbak I would greatly appreciate it! I will post any additional information as needed.

MindlessDrone Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Okay let me ask a Noob question, I have been reading up while at work today and realize that when I was formatting my hard drive I never setup a partition scheme. Could this be what my problem is with the reboots?

jricks92 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 it shouldn't be a problem if you have Chameleon 1.0.12/EFI v9 installed. It will boot GUID partition scheme and MBR partition scheme without any modification.
