spartango Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have been using hackintosh and macintosh(PPC) machines for quite a while together, but now there is news. I am, at the moment, attempting to upgrade a hackintosh 10.4 tiger installation to Leopard, which should run fine on a conventional intel machine. The Process: On a normal mac, Install your current osx86 installation HD on a normal mac. find the file OSInstall.mpkg on the leopard install disk. use it to install on the hackintosh HD, which should be the only one you can install to(unless u have other HDs...) wait for it to finish(i am here) shutdown and reinstall HD into Hackintosh. *Hint to users who got a .dmg [rip] of the DVD and do not want to burn to dual layer DVD: this should for regular mac installations, with some changes. I was wondering if this is going to work, and how i can make it work if not. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimms Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Except that the leo kernel isn't cracked and wont work - nor will encrypted files such as the finder. You'd have to replace all of these with Tiger ones, and then it might work, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iDarbert Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Let us know where you got it! I think he's talking about a previous build (9A410 probably)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wait, you're trying Leo on a Hack without cracking it first? Hah! I bet it won't even get past the Darwin bootloader. Without that cracked kernel, you're gonna go nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartango Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 yeah, sorry, guys...i'm on the edge of my seat for WWDC, but i don't have it, and cannot tell you how to get it other than via paying for ADC. leopard on hackintosh will be harder than i thought, i failed to realize the compexities of the OS, that i had dealt with before.
