AlbertoSONIC Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm trying to get Mac Os X to work on my Laptop... Here's my specs: BRAND: Acer MODEL: Travelmate 5742z CPU: Pentium P6200 (Dualcore, 2.13 ghz, 64BIT) RAM: 3GB WIFI: Broadcom GRAPHICS: Intel HD Graphics (3000 i think, not sure)(1366x768) HDD: 500GB PARTITIONS: 1) 290GB - Windows 8 2) 140GB - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 3) 66GB - Mac Os X 4) SWAP I tried some hackintosh versions, but none works: 1)Hazard (Snow Leopard), reboots before installation 2)Ideneb / Ideneb 1.3 (Snow Leopard), Grub2 was not able to boot it, not tried again when grub 2 was fixed 3)Niresh Os X (Mountain Lion), the last i tried, won't boot... I get an error (see attached screens) What do i need to do? Do you suggest me another Hackintosh Distribution? EDIT: Tried with -v -x also, won't boot...

AlbertoSONIC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Great! Thank you! I finally got it to work, but no audio and wifi/ethernet.... My Network Specs are: WIFI: Broadcom BCM43225 - Unsupported ETHERNET: Broadcom BCM57780 - Supported Should i change wifi card with a compatible one? I'm on a laptop, but i think that it's possible.... If so, which one do you suggest me to buy? And about Audio Driver, where can i find right kexts?
