Rkeefe99 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I not new to hackintoshing but i cant seem to find anything about hackintosh-ing my Dell Inspiron M5040 With an AMD E2 Vision processor. I dont know what bootloader to use and i dont know if i can use the lion installer from the Mac appstore to upgrade it to Mac OS X Lion.

sirbow2 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 which model? must be new. dont see anything either. it uses a HM57 chipset and a AMD E-xxx series CPU. so youll want to use a snow leo (10.6) retail DVD install method with a legacy kernel for AMD. this boot cd should be good: http://www.mediafire.com/?o4t0i5wdzkm inf about it: http://prasys.info/2010/01/empire-efi-v-1-085-is-out/ Note: you must have a USB or dvd of retail snow leopard. no, you cant use that to upgrade. have to do a clean install. and anywas AMD dont work well on lion/ML. here is an experimental guide for lion on AMD. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278181-amd-1073-guide-experimental-only/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No, that AMD model is not supported at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirbow2 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 and what proof do you have of that? people have used both the proc and chipset, so it will probably work, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
