My laptop specs are almost identical.

 

Lenovo Y550p.

The sound is different, and the monitor is different as well, however no worries with those.

 

I am new to the hackintosh scene. Can successfully emulate in vmware, but that's not as fun! :D

 

Is there not a fix for PM55 chipsets? Are we still waiting?

If the disc wont boot, you probably need the boot flag (press f8 and disc boot screen, select disc to boot to and press tab) and then enter busratio=12 cpus=8, and it should boot. I don't think you should need this for the new Hazard 10.6.6 SL distro, but it is still needed to boot from the disc, after install it works fine. Just don't select video injectors, sound fixes, cpu power management fixes, or usb fixes when you install it or it could lead to kernel panic. You can then clone the mac disc once you get it booted, then modify kexts and if you get a kernel panic, just restore the disc image. That wya you can save time and eliminate kexts that don't work or need to be modified with vender/model id's for the hardware in them.
