Herdnerfer Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hello all, i just wanted to comment that i was able to get my Hackintosh up and running (dual boot with Windows 7) using [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] with the following specs: ASUS p5g41t-m lx Core2quad Q8200 4gb DDR3 800mhz RAM Nvidia Geforce 8600GT WD 1TB 7200rpm WD 640GB 7200rpm Maxtor 250GB 7200rpm I didn't have to disconnect any peripherals, left all my HDs connected & dual monitors in tact. Once i got a good copy of SL, install completed error free. So if you have any of these devices in your PC, rest assured that they are compatible. The only minor issue i have is that after running [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] & putting the bootloader on the HD, if i boot from the HD bootloader, SL will startup but the ethernet cable states that it is disconnected. I can boot from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc without any issues, internet works fine. But that is something i can live with. (Unless someone has insights into the issue, which i would be happy to entertain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSX86ORBUST Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 you need to determine which ethernet chip your board uses and install the appropriate kext for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minko Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hawk007, me too! Going crazy about getting this Mobo to work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan291 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Same here, except I have the LX3 revision of the board. Using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and the 10.6.3 retail DVD, it goes to the apple logo screen and freezes. Any help would be appreciated. P.S This is my first Hackintosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herdnerfer Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Just thought i would post an update: i still had issues with my snow leopard install crashing at random times, so i ended up giving up after a while. i just recently rekinded my hackintosh interest by getting Lion up and running on my PC. This time i used IATKOS L2. After a few quick kext additions, Lion has been running perfectly. Have had my computer up and running for a week now without a single crash and all my steam games seem to run just as well in Lion as they do in windows. I had upgraded to a triple monitor setup using the built in on board video card with this mobo, but Lion would have none of that, so i am back down to 2 monitors. Ive also changed my specs a bit, im up to 8 gb of ram now, sporting a NVIDIA GTX 550 TI & a 120gb SSD drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
