So, i finally got my hackintosh working with everything going great. I had full resolution and QE/CI on my nvidia geforce 6200. I had this all going with kalyway 10.5.2. I had installed ilife by going into /system/library/coreservices/ and modifying the systemversion.plist file to 10.5.6.

 

FROM THIS

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
<string>10C540</string>
<key>ProductCopyright</key>
<string>1983-2009 Apple Inc.</string>
<key>ProductName</key>
<string>Mac OS X</string>
<key>ProductUserVisibleVersion</key>
<string>10.5.2</string>
<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>10.5.2</string>
</dict>
</plist>

(just a tip)

so anyways, itunes 8 stops working with this hack, so you have to install itunes 9. That was all well and good, but then it said that to use the store i had to install safari 4. So i download the safari 4 installer and it tells me that i need to upgrade my system to 10.5.8, right. Then i go change the plist file again. after that it tells me that i need a security update. So i download and install the security update which was a terrrible idea. (we are making hackintoshes and i install something from apple that has security in it <_< ) So now i am stuck in a boot loop. I have tryed -z, -x, and -s to no avail. I just see the darwin screen, then the apple logo white screen and the little spinning wheel, and then it goes back to the dell logo. :)

 

any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really hate to do a reinstall.

Sounds like your voodoo kernel got nuked. Hope you have a backup...

 

Heh, if you don't download it from somewhere and find some way of installing it.

 

OK, thanks lot. I am going to do a reinstall because i didn't really have any data is was just all of my applications that i wanted to save. Thanks a lot.
