MerKz Rx Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Hey everybody. I'm hoping to install either Mountain Lion or Lion but I'd be happy with Snow Leopard. So first off my experience, I installed and maintained a hackint0sh build on a Dell Inspiron 1545 but that was about 2 years ago. My hardware. Motherboard: MSI 760GM-e51 Chipset: AMD 780G Southbridge: AMD SB700 CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1035T Memory: 8 GB DDR3 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GT440 1GB My HDD is a Corsair Nova2 60 GB SSD but I don't think that will cause any issues. I would also like to install via USB as I have an optical drive but no blank CD's/DVD's and no money to spend on either. Thank you for any help you are able to give me and I hope that when this is done I can finally be finished with M$ / Windows. If you need any other info please tell me and I will give it to you ASAP. EDIT: ALSO my WiFi adapter is the Netgear N300 (WNA3100) and it's chipset is the Broadcom BCM43231 which seems to not be working on OS X.

Sysyphus Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Maybe the reason no-one has replied is that it's not a popular m/b to install OSX: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f213/268247.htm http://www.hackint0sh.org/f181/257017.htm Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276611-hey-need-help-getting-os-x-running-on-my-homebuilt-pc/#findComment-1802911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigsmack Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It took me forever to get SL to work on my AMD finally was able to get VMware installed and cloned to another drive to boot natively. You need to find out your busratio to get it to actually boot. AMD Phenom x6 1055t MSI 880GMe43 busratio=25.

MerKz Rx Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Would you mind elaborating on what steps you had to do to get it running? Anything specific that would be important for me? I'm venturing back into this and I hope that I can get it running.

rlf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 There is no kernel available to permit installing Lion or Mountain Lion on an AMD machine. Here is a guide for Snow Leopard: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=253767 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276611-hey-need-help-getting-os-x-running-on-my-homebuilt-pc/#findComment-1808224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
