neezie Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This is my first time installing OS X onto a PC, and I am doing it to my Gateway P-6860 FX and am having some trouble. I don't know what drivers to choose from the custom install screen and was wondering if I could have some help choosing them. Here are links to my specs General Specs and the In Depth Specs Thanks for any help that can be given!

Beerkex'd Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The specs list at the Gateway website sucks. Pick the Vanilla/Original Apple Kernel (if it doesn't appear as a choice, don't pick any kernel) and a bootloader, a macbook SMBIOS, if you see something that mentions ICH8 select it, nothing else, and see if it will install and boot. You can fix the rest after the OS is installed. Don't pick anything under network, sound or video. If, no matter what you do, it won't boot without selecting a kernel, try the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel. Try booting with CPUS=1 Prepare yourself to go through the install process several times. Write down what you selected. If it doesn't work, try again. Check your BIOS settings: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/03/bios-...hackintosh.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162684-installing-on-a-gateway-p-6860-fx/#findComment-1136548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
