macalex59 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hey everybody, I'm new in this OSx86 world. I have problems installing OSx86 in my PC. After inserting my Hazard 1.6.2 disc, my PC recognizes it, but when I try to start the install with the flags -v, -f, cpus=1 and arch=i386, it reboots. This is my PC: Pentium 4 @ 1.8GHz (SSE2), 1024MB RAM (DDR), nVidia GeForce FX5200 (AGP), HDD IDE, motherboard Intel 845G. I tried to install iDeneb 1.3 and iPC 1.5.6 before and they don't boot properly, resulting in a freeze. I already know that a single core processor is not very friendly with Mac OS X, but I saw some videos on YouTube that shows Pentium 4's running Snow Leopard. I want to know which distribution fits for my PC and the appropiate kexts for the install. Please help me.

I hope we can get more answers, I don't know why Snow Leopard install is not running in my case. About yours, maybe you need an EFI for your PC for able Snow Leopard retail to boot.

Doesn't i come with the Chameleon Bootloader or the myHack tool?

Actually I'll try with Leo4all distribution, if I get good results, I will tell you.

There is a kernel made for those trying to run a P4 og AMD processor. So i thought that kinda sound like the two of us :-D Maybe that was worth trying?
