First post yay!!

 

New to Osx86 world, tried it a few months ago without success and trying now again...Seems fate doesnt want me to have a hackintosh!!

 

So well, tried other iAtkos versions, but the one that got me closer to it was the s3 one. Always been stuck with other releases on the "using 104xx clusters"whatever msg, but with s3 Ive been able to boot once....on safe mode with -x flag...

So well...the error I get all the time with s3 is something like freezing on "USBMSC Identifier (non-unique)" part, then "still waiting for root device" thing. Ok, maybe a usb thingy related error? I dont have anything but keyboard and mouse and HDMI monitor plugged... so well...my specs (or what I know about it):

 

HP p6240br

 

Intel Core 2 Quad G8300

4gb RAM DDR

500 GB SATA Hard Drive

ATI Radeon HD 4350

Used to use Windows 7 64x

 

Please help guys... I've been able to log with -x once so I know I can do it... I am probably screewing up during customization... please... I dont wanna give up of it again...

 

 

Many thanks =))

Ok so I managed to log after changing some BIOS settings... but still just with the -x string... so I am in safe mode... what I need to do now? I mean I am really new to OS world so I learned that drivers are kexts here, but i dont know how to install them or what should I install... in safe mode, I have no sound and my video displays only 1024x768... so please give me some light guys... is there anything I should get from iAtkos DVD? what, and how to install them? Sorry Im still messing arround with OS interface so I dont know to do pretty much anything...

 

Many thanks!!!

 

 

If you formatted your HDD to GUID on S3, try formatting it on MBR and do the same thing you did. Oh, and you dont have to choose the UUID (both of them) in the selection too.

 

 

Srry bud, but can you be a bit more clear of what you mean? How I do as you suggest?? Srry...Mac fully newb I am...
