hi,

 

I tried some patch in my virtualbox and stuffed it up so i upgraded to 3.2.12. So i tweaked around with it and got it to boot fine. i pressed F8 when requested, and i did verbose mode (-v) and it started running some kext stuff and some scripts, then the virtual machine turned off for some reason. Just to let you know, i am booting an iso, not a disc. When i didn't do verbose mode, it loaded and the wheel span for half a second and then the vm turned off. i tried kalyway 10.5.2 and it said somthing like cpu halted. just to let u know, i have a retailed version of snow leopard, so if u have any ideas with that, that would be good. i tried empire efi with it. any other things like empireefi i can try?

 

i also have vmware workststion 7

FYI I got 10.6.5 installed on this machine with iAtkos S3 v2 and the GMA4500 modified Chameleon bootloader. There are kexts floating around for sound, lan and wifi. All working.

 

Only strange thing is random intermittent kernel panics at boot time. %50 of the time it boots fine but the other times it KPs on the grey apple screen. The wierdest thing is, when booting verbose, the kext that caused the KP seems to be different every time, sometimes just the kernel itself.

 

I've switched to 32bit mode now and it seems to minimize the KPs at boot, infact I havent seen one in a while but have only rebooted about 6 or 7 times since.

 

Anyone know what could be causing this? Perhaps I need to create a tweaked DSDT but apart from the RTC fix I have know idea what to look for.

 

Other annoying thing is as the display is not supported properly (no QE/CI), the display won't sleep which means no hope of any kind of sleep, Have to switch it off manually after using it. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Hi,

 

Thank you so much!!!!!! I never thought someone would have done this on this machine. Can you please send me the link to a few kext files that you have.....and also anything else that would help??? Thanks very much and I hope you successfully get your hackintosh working. I'll try to get iAtkos.... and did u do it virtually?

yer i tried iatkos and had no problems.. no kernel panics or anything... and the sound and wifi all work fine.... i just installed iatkos without selecting drivers besides bootloader and graphics, then downloaded kexts and got it 2 work
