WFeather Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 sorry for a delayed reply. Anyhow, HP had it set to AHCI initially, and i have not changed that(probably because it is a SSD), i've got a message from a user here giving me a suggestion on what to try, ill report back soon (finishing up a new burn of the disk on 4x speed instead of whatever the max burn speed is Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/229446-install-on-hp-elitebook-issue/#findComment-1552927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFeather Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 got OSX to install, now i cant get it to boot my boot loader takes me to chameleon, and I Can start OSX, but it gets to the grey screen with the silver apple, and goes to an immediate reboot. so far i've had the issue with: iAtkos s3 v2, Hazard hazard actually ran smoother on the install, and was more intuitive when instlling, it actually gave me a spot to customize the install(must have missed it on iAtkos), for Hazard i did the qoopz equivlant(it is based of qoopz is what it said). It seems like its a kernal problem for me also ran these to get it to run: -v forceratio=20 -force64 Hazard's release has the correct driver packed with it for the intel graphics, its 10.6.2 for OSX version, and it displays fine for me on install resolution wise(compared to iAtkos which looks well bad on install screens) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/229446-install-on-hp-elitebook-issue/#findComment-1553482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
