AlexRealCom Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Alright so I already tried it, I selected the right customization options for amd and my chipset, this installed and resulted in my whole system not being able to boot which we have since fixed. At this point in time i would just like somebody to give me a recommendation to any 10.6.2 Snow Leopard AMD Distro suitable for my specs which are here: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Motherboard: Dell Inc Model 0HY175 Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Southbridge: NVIDIA nForce 410/430 MCP GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerastez Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I tried on something with the same MOBO here. I was able to get it up and running, even upgraded to 10.6.8. The problem is that the onboard videocard and ethernet are incompatible. You will never get quartz extreme with the onboard video and the ethernet just won't work. The big issue is that the GeForce 6150LE shares RAM with the MoBo. It will never function right, free standing GeForce 6150LE cards will work but the onboard one will not. So, yes you can get a functioning system to boot up and operate, but you will have to get a compatible videocard and ethernet card in order to have a fully functional hackintoah. Anyway No I didn't get the Hazard distro to work I used a AMD boot CD and a retail installation disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt35 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, I wasn't able to boot with my Dell Dimensions 8400 too ! I just repartitioned my hdd... I think, you will have to copy your hdd's content onto another one and repartition the hdd of OS X with a GUID partition table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
