Cvrcmember Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hey everyone, I am trying to install Mac on my friend's computer and he has some unusual hardware. I have already installed mac on my laptop successfully and all I need to know is what distro is compatible with the hardware. I also need to know, once I install the base OS, what extra kexts I need and where to get them. I have done some research but I couldn't find much. I was going to do a Kalyway or and iPC install, but they dont provide the kexts that I need. Also, this is a 64 bit CPU. FYI Here is my friend's Configuration: ---------------------------------------------------------------- CrystalCPUID 4.15.5.452 © 2002-2009 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- OS : Windows NT6.1 Ultimate Edition [ 6.1 Build 7600 ] Date : 2010/06/17 22:15:55 CPU Name : Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield) Vendor String : GenuineIntel Name String : Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz Architecture : x64 Process Rule : 45 nm Platform : LGA775 [4] CPU Type : Original OEM processor [0] Number (Total) : 4 Physical Core : 4 Family : 6h Ext.

MaLd0n Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Use iAtkos v7 or iDeneb Lite check the options JMicron and ICHx audio, video... you install after you're inside the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot! Now, what about ethernet and all of the other hardware? Are the kexts all in the iAtkos dvd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cvrcmember Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks, I will post the results here. It shouldn't be too hard considering I've already successfully installed it on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
