cankiulascmnfye Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I recently acquired an iMac2010. I could install El Crapitan (as we used to call it back in the days) and see what kexts etc are required – if t helps.

Thanks for your input, but I want to boot Snow Leopard using newer Hardware , OpenCore Does boot but it gets stuck on loading drivers. So close but yet so far Edited August 3, 2023 by STLVNUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close but yet so far You could try loading 32 bit kexts and drivers instead. Since I don't think that it's possible to compile 32 bit kexts in current versions of macOS and Xcode, this might be useful: https://grimore.org/assets/osx86/kexts/snow_leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Just create other compiler: gcc or old clang and use old MacOSSDK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, when I go into OS 10.8, I go into the BIOS to change the graphics card to the onboard HD4600, which has been compatible since 10.8-Monterry. After that when I enter OSVentura-Sonoma Adjust BIOS to RX560 which it supports OS 10.12-Sonoma ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cankiulascmnfye Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I would try my luck with Clover. I think It's easier to get legacy, non-UEFI hardware to work with it. And I would use the last version with the old memory fixes: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases/tag/5123.1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstTimeCustomac Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 On 8/2/2023 at 11:50 PM, STLVNUB said: how did you boot them? My Coffee Lake system is not able to boot anything older than Sierra. At least I couldn't. For older systems like Snow Leopard, If I am not mistaken, I think you'd need something like custom/legacy kernel which ever you call it as Snow Leopard does not have kernel or CPU support for anything newer than Sandy Bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joevt Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I have all Intel Mac OS X versions installed on my Skylake hackintosh but I haven't tried booting them. They were installed using iMac 2007 or MacPro 2008 so I can skip any installer issues. They all worked on the Mac Pro 2008. They also all work in VirtualBox and Parallels VMs on the Skylake hackintosh. If you have instructions on how to boot them directly on Skylake hackintosh, then I can give it a try, or is Skylake too new for non-VM boot? https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=2812256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
