ntzrmtthihu777 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hello all, first post here, first foray into the mac world at all, let alone hackintoshing. My hardware is as followsMotherboard: MSI 970A-G64 Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 CPU: AMD FX-6300 The steps I've undertook: Created a bootable usb device from an untouched OSX 10.8.4.dmg file from linux, following this guide (have not tried adding the kexts yet, seems to me they are more for Intel based builds, correct me if wrong), inserted the fx_kernel from here as /mach_kernel, and booted with -v -f -x GraphicsEnabler=No busratio=20 colors=32 arch=x86_64 PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000 This gets me pretty far, as far as my ignorance in OSX matters can tell; I end up with an off-white screen with the infamous spinning beach ball of death.

ntzrmtthihu777 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 many thanks, I'll add those to my list of resources regarding hackintoshing. Atm I've read quite a bit regarding it, and I'm kinda surprised I made it this far, lol. I made a working VM of Snow Leopard using a Hazard iso, but I've always been a do it yourself type, and you never know what gets stuck into these 'distros' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 well, if you can install VMW, I suggest to you make a USBInstaller Vanilla with app Mavericks, like the video how to make a USBinstaller AMD, then try install, if you need mofify your installer. change the kernel, add kexts to your hardware, you can use your install VMW Mac OS to make it Good Luck!!!

ntzrmtthihu777 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Update: Got a vanilla InstallESD.dmg for Mavericks, wrote it to a usb stick with a really convoluted series of linux commands, added the fx_kernel for FX-6300, and managed to install just fine.
