System Info NEEDED

[fbifido]

Hi,

 

This is my RANT, sorry.

 

1)

Let me start off my saying "I AM SORRY if this post upset anyone"

but for me this is very important.

 

I  always have problems with building a new rig.

manly because in Jamaica we get parts that are non-name-brand, anyway I need an app that can tell me what kexts & Mods i need for my system to run MAC OS X on it.

 

With all the info from this forum, no single program allowed me to see my system spec, and let me know what kexts i will need and where to put them, and if any of the kexts will need modification and how to do it.

Yet i am sure that all this info is somewhere in the forum, I just have to spend a lot of time reading about what has not work.

This one gets me all the time.

You create or get a boot-able USB/DVD of HAC OS X, you put it into your pc/laptop, it boots and you get to do the install without any error.

 

(Just a quest question here;

 Q1= Is this installer GUI the OS X operation system, like how windows have there liveCD GUI, that can run apps and stuff to do repairs and trouble shutting ?)

 

Now you boot with that same USB/DVD and then select the newly installed partition/drive, and a few people gets blank screen, hang pc/laptop, kernel panic, etc..., and a few gets into the system(works fine).

(Q2= Shouldn't the USB/DVD load the same kexts and MODs that it loaded when it was doing the install?)

 

Now that you are in the newly installed system, its time to make it self bootable, now remember that you boot from the USB/DVD, (this is where that requested app will come in handy, but this also depend on the boot-loader that you will use.

anyway apart from that it would be nice to have an app that can look at your system and tell what hardware you have and how to go about getting it to work and what kexts to use and where to put it. I read once that there's a boot-loader that can auto-generate and auto-patch DSDT, by itself. I also read once that there are auto-sound-patcher and videos as well.

Nearly all the system i come across are all onboard, meaning video/lan/sound are built on the motherboard.)

 

 you now select the boot-loader and tell it to load onto the newly install drive, now you must also select the other stuff that maybe needed to get your system up and running my itself without errors, some options are obvious while others are just ?!?!?!?!?!?!.

 

3)

The first timed i read about Hackintosh, it was about kexts database and DSDT database, this was because hac distro was the big thing, and they were the only one who knew how to get MAC on the pc.I have not read any info about these databases from then, but most of these database was base on the VID & DID from cards in the system or motherboard.

 

Then there was the BIOS modifying on some brand-name-motherboard, to fix allot of the problems of kexts & DSDT. To me this was one of the best option out there, but a few people was making money off this great project and thus it was demolish by the creator.  The closest project to this now is the one that have the boot-loader in the BIOS, and this bios works with windows, linux and OS X. I just wish that this BIOS project can be done in VMWare Workstation, because it not nice to F up and very expensive motherboard.

If you are in OS X, DPCIManager. In Windows, Everest Home Edition/AIDA64...

you need to try any..distro(maybe ISO Hazard 10.6.6i is good for test your hardware),and later you create perfectly Hackintosh with your mind
