Danyel Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 anybody? Hi ShatPank81: I've been running Snow Leopard on my SG41J1-RFG for about six months now. I used TonyMacx86's instructions to install Retail Snow Leopard recognized my NVidia Graphics Card and Sound Chipset natively. I've been able to apply Combo Update to 10.6.4 without any modification. I purchased Apple's USB Ethernet Adapter for native network connectivity. I haven't been able to create DSDT and EasyDSDT doesn't seem to work so I'm stuck booting from IsoBoot CD-ROM. Feel free to message me or e-mail if you have any questions. http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html Danyel dluck007@hotmail.com dluck007.dyndns.org/OSx86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Chris Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi all I have got my an SG41J1 Plus recently since my G33 melted down. I have successfully installed OSX 10.6.7 with my configs below: CPU: E8400 Core2duo 6M cache 3ghz Ram: 8gb Kingston DDR1333ghz (i installed the mac with 8Gb on) Video: 9600 GT (i also installed the system with dual screen on.. ahaha) Network: on-board one cannot be detected, so i plugged in a TP-Link 1giga bit ethernet card (it was just small enough not to stop my video card) HDD: western digital 1Tb Optic drive: LG DVD writer Instruction is pretty simple. Same guide as tonymacx86 (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-install-mac-os-x-on.html) and just really have to keep [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] up and install it right after 10.6.7 combo update. Note: Dont go away when it is updating 10.6.7 combo update, i made the mistake once and it just blacks out on sleep and i could not get my machine boot without using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] even when i tried to use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to setup afterwards Then it comes to the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] options. Here are the few points that made my machine success. - tick on [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - tick on System Utilities - tick on NVEnabler (ONLY) These were the 3 things i ticked on my first go.... After installation... restart and you should be able to load up without the ISO boot disc. After it restarts successfully, open [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] again and tick on - Universal (under audio) this will enable you for the audio on-board.... you'll need to setup the mic's input volume, by default i thought its not working .... And thats it!!!! main thing is... [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] by itself already allows you to boot up from hdd. Do not tick on options you are unsure with or else its gonna ruin your setup And all [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] settings are not revertable, you cannot remove them, but you can add on top... Last thing is, the network card... as i mentioned above, i cannot get my on-board ethernet card to work yet. I have plugged in another network card and it works. If you have a beast video card, you might have trouble.... Feel free to leave me a msg, i am very new to MacOSx and also credit note to Danyel who helped me out during my setup!
