01011000 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hey guys =) I've read through this forum and others HEAPS and im still baffled by the processes of installing kexts and dsdts and everything else. Quite confused. I have so far installed OSX onto a 1TB WD HDD, in a 50gb partition at the start of the drive (using GUID partition table), with the rest of the hard drive as a FAT partition. This is the stage I am currently at, having used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to run the OSX installation process (in safe mode). My system specs are: GA-X58A-UD7 rev2.0 Motherboard Intel i7 950 6gb DDR3 Corsair RAM (3 x 2gb) Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX460 1gb OC edition 1 x 1TB WD HDD 1 x 2TB WD HDD 1 x 120gb OCZ Vertex II SSD Can someone please explain to me what steps I am to take from this point on so that I can complete the installation process and have a functioning install of OSX? I would be very much appreciative of anyhelp at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very much appreciative of anyhelp at all! I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you since you haven't stated what's not working or which, if any installation guide you used. There's a great guide here if you are willing to start all over. Otherwise, we need more info on what's not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01011000 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 OK! I have installed everything now and its pretty much all working, including graphics card. I just have no network I tried installnig the R1000 thing that came with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to no avail.. This is the last piece of the fully function OSX puzzle! So Close!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Kext.com look for the network kext, then use Kext Helper in tools to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01011000 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html I followed this guide correctly and installed the 'current' version of the driver. It displays my network card in the Hardware overview, how ever when I plug the cable in it doesn't detect anything on the network! (the green light doesnt turn on, only an orange one) I have no idea what could be wrong :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Did you try this in the Extra/Extensions folder and then use Kext Utility to build mkext? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got working and I think it is worth the time, especially for yourself, in case at a later time you have a need to reinstall, you know what you did :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
