Naish84 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hello everyone, this is my first post, i hope this is the correct place to open a new topic well, the last time i tried to install osx on a pc was 3 years ago on a notebook.... since then i have never tried again. this is my actual desktop: mb: asus p8p67 evo cpu: intel i2500k@4.2ghz ram: 8gb ddr3 vga: geforce gtx460 i would want to have a dual boot with win7+lion on 2 different hd, i want to choose from bios which one to start. what i want to know is: 1. is my pc fully compatible? 2. i legally own a mbp, the best way to install osx is to use the original snowleopard iso and then upgrade to lion? if it is possible thank you in advance and sorry for my english (i am italian ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277498-osx-107-on-my-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben1 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 i suggest go for lion os x , 2 different hdds , the one with windows 7 normal boot and one with mac os x select ahci mode from bios to boot and install.

Naish84 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 ok nice, i did it with ubeast+mbeast. it is full working except some troubles with audio: i tried with mbeast and ALC892 but did not work. Then i tried VoodooHDA and it worked except the mic, and since then i experience some random kernel panic on boot. someone knows why?

bigpoppa206 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Careful with overclocking, that can sometimes cause a panic too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277498-osx-107-on-my-pc/#findComment-1810960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naish84 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Careful with overclocking, that can sometimes cause a panic too. it isn't that for sure, in windows is fully stable with 24h of prime95 or 3dmark.... i think that i have some trouble with kext, i tried many kext and deleted a lot of apple original kext. Once i enter in mac os i am fully stable, i only get random kernel panic on boot ( something like 1 kernel panic every 3 reboots, very strange) This evening i will try again with a clean install, i am trying to simplify the installation as much as i can, just to be able to better identify the troubles.

Naish84 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 ok, i did it! the random kernel panics were caused by the voodoHDA, i changed audio driver and now it is all working well! not even one kernel panic, fully working, fully stable! i am working with the backup of my 2011 17" macbook pro, and the system feels even faster! i have to say thank you guys, because i reached this point even by reading many of your topics now, if someone has troubles with a system like mine (p8p67 evo + gtx 460) it is my turn to help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277498-osx-107-on-my-pc/#findComment-1811232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
