machack574 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hello Everyone, I am new to the osx86 project. I decided i would try and install snow leopard on my pc. I followed a guide on the osx86 wiki, which said to use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to get into the dvd, and from there i could install. So i went into my bios, loaded the optimized defaults, and booted from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] supported cd. Then I switched to my Snow Leopard DVD and began booting. I formatted my hard drive to a guid partition table, and to a mac os extended (journaled) format. I began the install. The status bar gets to around 35%, and then it displays the following error: "Installer couldn't copy necassary suport files." and there is a button to reboot. I have tried the nvidia [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] cd, and it didnt work. I tried messing with my bios, didnt work. I tried messing with the install options, didnt work. Any help would be appreciated. So far it seems hopeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machack574 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hello everyone, I tried the hackboot method and os x is now installed and running on this pc. I am encountering several problems though... I MUST boot from the hackboot cd. I installed cameleon and tried to boot from that, but i get the apple logo with the x through it. Also, i can only have my screen resolution on 1024x768 instead of 1280x1024. My Lan doesnt work (onboard or pci) and neither does my sound. Also, about this mac seems to get the hackintosh to run a "killall Dock". If anyone can help me with any of these problems, please do BTW, my specs are: Foxconn P9657aa-8ks2h motherboard Intel core 2 duo 2.33 ghz 2gb ocz ram nvidia 7600gt realtek onboard sound d-link dfe-530tx LAN lite-on dvd rom drive WD 60gb ide hard drive (will swap out for a better one, after i am done testing my hackintosh) Posted from an imac g3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 you installed these two files? "Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684.pkg" (by OldNapalm) "Install Extra" after installing these two files, go in HackBoot (folder sata/ata) and copy the necessary kext(sata/ata) try voodoohda.kext (audio) first you must get rid of bootcd After fine-tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machack574 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have installed chameleon and the extra files to my efi partition. I copied the kexts with mkexttool, and I still don't get audio. It still gives me the x and won't boot without the cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 you need drivers Data/Ata use the-x and see if the error is still waiting ... go on hackboot, folder "KEXTs/SATA-ATA" The MKEXT HAS MORE THAN 50 kexts...YOU NEED A FEW *has kexts that do not work on efi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
