Ludacris Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ok Guys, as noone yet has tried to install OSX on this Beast, I thought why not. First of all the specs as I guess there are other Vaios that have similar Specs. CPU: Intel Core i7 Q740 RAM: 8GB Ram GPU: nVidia GeForce GT425M with 1024 MB VRAM (1GB) WIFI: Atheros AR9287 LAN: Marvell Yukon 88E8057 Res: 1920x1080 I think thats Pretty much the most important stuff so lets start! I've fired up the iAtkos disk with the flags "cpus=8 busratio=13" (for 8 cores and the 740q) After a few seconds the setup was ready, I selected German, formated a partition and hit continue some times - just the normal procedure. Now as we are at the Packages the thing was a bit tricky. I've selected pretty much everything that seemed to make sense (will list in a few) I guess that I have misselected something here as the main problem is that this nice beast does not boot. It could've been the Chipset as I dont know which one is in this laptop As I do not want to install a bootloader at this point, i have disselected the bootloader, but specified some boot stuff like the legacy boot. now all packages according to the setup log: com.uphuck.pkg. voodoosdhc ahci applehda1056 Marvell88e8056 (could work on the 88e8057) Marvell88e8001 MacFusecoreevospeedstep voodoorootsync nvenabler fakesmc ntfs3g voodoops2 voodoobattery voodoohda sleep thermal evoreeboot Anyway, this thread will be updated as soon as I have made some progress Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/248862-os-x-106-iatkos-s3-on-sony-vaio-vpc-f13z8ebi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
