meeyotch Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 So, I decided that my Ubuntu Install wasn't doing what I needed, so after searching the Internet, I found OSX86. Here's what I have on my computer: HP DV9000 Series 2 Gig Ram Dual Core Processor (1.4 Ghz) 2x100 non-raid HD (that's important for my story) Conexant HD Audio IPW 3945 Card A Hint to anyone who has a notebook with more than one HD: you MUST Partition off part of the primary hard drive (disk0 in laymans terms). I tried it on my 2nd hard drive with no success. After partitioning disk0 it booted first time correctly. I'm running a Vista boot loader with the directions found in the wiki, and I've got to say it works perfectly. Issues I've encountered Random Restarts (I'm used to it by now, but it doesn't make it any less annoying...) no sound fixed through Azalia plugin found on this site. nvidia driver problems fixed by installing the macvidia drivers found on the site (during main install). no wireless internet. This one's my biggest concern right now, but I'm sure the solution will present itself (if it's in the forums, I just haven't found it yet). But otherwise ITunes has successfully imported my music library and my wireless remote even works perfectly with Itunes, so I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all of the help throughout the site, and I look forward to an (even more) successful time with my Hackintosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendum Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'm not saying it's an optimal solution, but have you tried CPUS=1 in your boot prefs? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeyotch Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 You'll have to forgive me, I am a coding nerd but I still don't understand all of it (I'm trying to learn more as I go and as I need to). What would that do for me? Here's a screenie of the successful transplant as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendum Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, for me it stopped my random crashes... Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
