It shouldn't do I got as far as installing 10.6.0 on my 6500 without kernel panic using ideneb didnt have sound or wifi but everything else worked and if I took the time to sort it I would have cracked that, I just bought a Dell Mini 10v for hackintosh and put linux back on the HP Good luck I have not tried the distro but I imagine it's all there.

I am afraid I cannot directly link to a distro but I would try a popular pirate related torrent site Not sure about a tutorial I just went for it but you could try a search of the forum here or do a google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it describes it as 10.6 by hazard sse2 sse 3 I would say you are good to go. From memory I think the installer detected my HDD without any bios alterations, try it first and if your HDD fails to appear have a play with your bios.

All I can suggest is you give it a go there's no harm in trying. There is a youtube video of a DV6500 hackintosh you could find out what versions were used on there.

FAT32 right?, and then install OSX , is that possible? sorry for being a noob!! alex Personally I always start as a fresh install so I know there isnt anything still on the drive to mess things up. If you have made backups and have the OS install disks then go ahead and wipe the drive. I don't believe the type of format you choose makes much of a difference as you have to reformat to Mac journaled anyway. If it were me I would format as fat 32. even better do you have a spare drive ?. I like to do a trial install of any os first on this before messing with the main system. Carefully record every step you make so when you finally have an install up and running you can replicate this on your main drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
