Smilew Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hi ! I have issues trying to install Mac OSX on my ASUS ROG G51J laptop (with "MB Ver. G60Jx" written on the back). I followed the steps of this tutorial: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283111-installing-os-x-1082-windows-8-dual-boot-on-asus-g51jx/, however I couldn't boot directly on the bootable Lion USB (not ML) created with myHack, the laptop would just reboot without doing anything. So I tried multiple bootloaders, such as Empire EFI, but I still couldn't get to the installation screen. With Empire EFI, I got stuck on "PCI configuration begin", on [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] I got a kernel panic error with something like "unable to find driver for this platform: acpi...." and I couldn't get Chameleon to boot on a USB flash drive. The specs on this laptop are the following: Intel i7-720QM GeForce GTS 360M 8GB RAM 500GB HDD I tried multiple boot flags, like -v, -f, -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, PCIRootUID=1, cpus=1, npci=0x2000/npci=0x3000. Also, the options in the BIOS are very limited, I couldn't find something related to a SATA Mode option. Although I think the BIOS isn't updated to its latest version but I don't know if it would change something. Should I try another distro/version of OSX or another bootloader ? Thanks in advance ! Sorry if my english is not very good. Edited April 10, 2019 by SmilexD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smilew Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hi, thank you for the answer. Here is the Extra folder I'm using: https://mega.nz/#!uuJmGYZT!mkmNQvLGZIj1UamD21vGBySR-RwAk7s5f0dPy6VbfvQ I managed to boot on Chameleon and replaced the AppleACPIPlatform kext but I still got the Kernel panic error (the kext on the archive might be different from the one you linked because I tried another version after). I posted pictures to give more details, thanks in advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smilew Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thank you for your help but unfortunately that didn't work, I replaced the Extra folder with myHack and still get the same error. Should I create a new installer with High Sierra ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
