Lexiconup Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey Guys, Ive done some searching on all the hackintosh related forums and cant come up with any threads. Is it possible to run OS X on a Lenovo x220? My 5 year old macbook is on its last breaths and I'm considering buying an x220. Thanks for the help.

You most likely can, but with limited hardware support. Integrated network (Intel chipset) has had very limited success (refering to code.google.com/p/iwidarwin). You can always swap out network card though. I have not been keeping up with Intel HD Graphics 3000, but I suspect that the new macbook pros have them, it would not be a problem.

babyfrump Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 JosemiteSam, I too bought a x220. I am a newbie and require lots of help. Can you post the steps you have used so far? Which version of mac os retail did you use? I did try 10.6.3 but it does not contain the drivers for the intel hd3000 found in the x220. Thanks!

babyfrump Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Dear Troete, Which [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] did you use? [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy? Also, which flags did you use? Did you have to set the -v -f flags? What about setting bus ratio and GraphicsEnabler? I did try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy with these flags initially and they sort of worked. But like you, I was unable to get decent resolution. I also had trouble with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. After installin [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], I could not get the X220 to boot without using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Would you mind sharing which settings you used? I will try again and report back here if I have any success. Thanks. Yep same here.

babyfrump Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi Guys, I have a X220 too. But I have trouble installing the chameleon boot loader after installing SL 10.6.7 update, let alone installing Lion DP4 over the SL. Would you please post step by step instructions on how to get the chameleon boot loader to install on the X220? I have tried countless times. I have tried using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and can finish the install process but thereafter, using chameleon or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] fails to install the bootloader. Please help. Thanks!
