Spo0onMann Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hello there everyone, I'm sort of having a problem, I have installed OSX86 before, on my desktop which was fully supported, and worked fine. I sold that desktop 3 weeks ago, and bought myself a laptop, an Acer Aspire 7735g. I have reinstalled OS X several times, using several disks, 10.5.8 only booted from the disk at random times (it had no spinning wheel on the boot screen, and was just stuck there, in verbose mode it said something related to AppleUSBEHCI.kext. I then tried 10.5.6 which booted from the disk and installed, but after the installation it would not boot up, and also had no spinning wheel with an error relating to AppleACPIPlatform. After a while of reinstalls with different drivers, I still had no success, and moved onto iDeneb 10.5.5, which installed, but also will not boot. However after installing all the correct kexts through using the 'rd=disk0s2' flag on my iDeneb Install disk, Verbose mode displays no more errors but still wont boot up! I have searched the forums and have found answers ranging from disabling USB Legacy support in BIOS (unfortunately my BIOS is very limited and don't have such an option) to my graphics card not being supported, which cant be the case because i have read threads where people with the same graphics card as me installed OS X successfully but with no graphics acceleration. My specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz; Intel ICH9 Chipset; 4GB of DDR3 800MHz RAM; ATI HD Radeon 4570 512MB. Pictures: Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Lokjutus Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I know this is old, but maybe I could help someone... I had the same problem with my Acer Aspire 7735Z ... the solution was to go to BIOS and change IDE mode to ACPI ... after that the installation can continue.... But unfortunately I didn't manage to get anything else working on my 7735Z... by that I mean ethernet, wireless, change resolution... I've been searching all over internet for days now with no success..
