I have done a lot of reading from other x58 / i7 builds and their hackintosh successes. It seems like people have their PC's working with this motherboard but no one has given any hints on how to do it.

 

I disabled all cores to 1, busratio=20 / mach_970 -v when installing. I installed it with bare minimums on iAtkos v7 on my 1TB hard drive. When I boot, I get stuck on the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. Then a circle with a line thru it shows up. This is as far as I have gotten to getting this to work.

 

I have searched various threads but they all have methods which I don't want to follow (such as using JMicron and another HDD)

 

This is my set up.

Asus Rampage II Extreme

eVGA NVidia 8600 GT

Core i7 920

1TB hard drive - main

750GB - back up (for music and videos)

2x1.5TB in RAID 0 (3TB Total)

 

and two spare 1.5TB lying around.

 

 

This one tutorial suggested that I have Windows installed with MacDrive. This tutorial seems the best but I do not want to go this route because I do not want to install Windows 7 until I can get Leopard (hopefully snow leopard working) before I try to attempt to get a dual boot working.

 

Any helps/hints when I get to the point with the apple logo and wheel spinning ? (i have messed around with the bios and used various terminal commands when booting from the hard drive)

 

If you have the faintest idea please help because I have tried various techniques posted all over the web but I can't seem to get anything working. If anyone can guide me with a good idea of how to troubleshoot that would be greatly appreciated because this trial and error is not working out for me (i've been doing this the past two weeks!)

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
