Infinite Curiosity Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi all, I have been contemplating on installing a hackint0sh for quite a long time, but now i have finally decided to take the plunge. I have been going through this forum and i couldn't find a solution to a rather interesting predicament. Firstly I will mention my Laptops's Configuration. Laptop Model: Acer Aspire 5738 Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 (2 MB L2 cache, 2.2 GHz) Intel GM45Chipset Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD 4GB RAM Wireless LAN,Ethernet,Bluetooth Now i have Windows 7 and openSuSe installed. I formatted the openSuSe partion with ext3 and i had intended to install iATKOS S3 v2 on that partiton. The first time i inserted the disc, i could get to the Hardware info tab of the utilites menu of the MAC OSX, but i just used it to write down the ids. but then at that time i had to leave, so i shut down the system without installing the OS. After a while when i was free i tried to install the OS, but it always freezes at the apple logo. I tried the -v -x cpus=1 maxmem=2048 , but i still get an error. What puzzles me is that i am unable to do anything to make it go beyond that point, but on the first attempt everything ran smoothly. What could be the problem? I'm sure its not beginners luck. I used a third party partitioning tool to do the format. Could it be that while the disk was loading the first time it made some entries into the MBR? I did NOT proceed with the installation the first time, just used it to get the hardware info and i shut down the laptop after that by pressing the power key. Is there a solution? Could it be a root error or something? or did it copy some files into the HDD while loading? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGhT-SoN Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Did you tryed minimal customization? No audio/video/lan drivers, see if it works. From my experience, installing hackintosh is trial an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite Curiosity Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi, nothing happens... i don't even get to the point where i can choose anything... when i use the -v -x cpus=1 maxmem=2048, the loading stops at this point... "Waiting on boot volume with UUID CC09085A-26E5-3235-B882-CC98DBD2D967" and "Waiting on <Dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><String ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</ket><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>" I really donno what to do. I changed the bios settings and changed from IDE to AHCI I have really searched a lot before posting. What puzzles me most that it loaded the first time i ran it, now it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGhT-SoN Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You can try deleting the partition with a Windows or other bootable disc, and create it again, maybe is something wrong with the boot sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
