CrazyGrandpa Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I have problems while installing Macintosh on Gateway5678 (GT5678). I want to install Haskintosh on my PC. I found some sources with instructions how to it, but I can't load Mac installation. I burnt 5 images: Mac OS X Universal Installation iAtkos v1.0i iDeneb v10.55 iDeneb v10.55 Pathced Mac OSX Jas SSE2 SSS3 with PPF2 & PPF3 But no one of them works. When I load iAtkos or Mac Jas istallation, I have sign: Loading Darwin/86 Starting Darwin/86 After this my computer restarts. When I install iDeneb, I see apple sign on gray background and near apple appears round crossed sign. Maybe I have to change Bios settings, I don't know. What do I have to do in order to install hackintosh on my PC? I also tried plug out my Video card. It didn't help. While installing "Universal" my computer freezes. I also tried to type -x, -v, -s... My problem is like this: My PC's hardware: GT5678 Intel quad-core Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor 2.4 GHz 4GB of DDR2 RAM 750GB hard drive SATA II ATI Radeon HD 2400XT 256 MB video card and 7.1-channel HD audio on board mymorepour@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there will be one simple solution. There is a lot of info in your topic. And I am confused about it. Maybe I will read it again, but... Has anyone had experience installing OSx86 on GT5678?

CrazyGrandpa Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I downloaded Kalyway 10.52 and I put -v -x -y cpus=1 And I see sign "still waiting for boot device" How can I fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If your DVD drive is SATA, set SATA to AHCI mode. If AHCI is not available, set it to RAID mode. If your DVD drive is PATA make sure it is jumpered as master and plugged in accordingly at the end of the cable. For the freezing issues on the other distros try booting with cpus=1 maxmem=2048 -v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your DVD drive is PATA make sure it is jumpered as master and plugged in accordingly at the end of the cable. For the freezing issues on the other distros try booting with cpus=1 maxmem=2048 -v First of all, my DVD drive doesn't have such options. It has only PIO Mode and DMA Mode and doesn't have jumper. And I can't set my HDD as Primary. I have 4 sockets on my motherboard (SATA1-SATA4). First, I plugged out my DVD and only HDD left, but it still SATA. It has not jumper on it, so I think it would be solution if I find jumper for it. I tried to put that command cpus=1 maxmem=2048 -v So: Kalyway has message: Mac OS Version: Not yet set Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.20: Sum Mar 2 00:11.08 SCT 2008; Made by ToH:xnu - 1228/Build/Obj/Release - I386 And freezes Iatkos - restarts after sing "Starting OSX/86" Jas: Using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers Ideneb: the same problem "Still waiting for root device" Universal: extension "com.apple.driver.IOPlatformPluginFamily" has immediately dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style and freezes. My problem is not solved, ............. sigh sigh sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm not talking about BIOS settings, DMA/PIO has nothing to do with it. The jumber is a little piece of plastic with metal inside that shorts two pins on the back of your DVD drive. If your DVD drive has no (Master/Slave/Cable Select) jumper on it, it is a SATA DVD drive. If your DVD drive is a PATA DVD drive it does have a jumper. It's usually located next to the PATA cable.
