EddiesGames Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Okay, please help me. I've downloaded the leatest Kalyway DVD image(10.5.1) and it doesn't work I'm booting from the DVD, the Apple logo appears, that thing spins around for about 5 minutes and then the PC turns off. I'm attaching some screenshots about my configuration (CPU-Z). Aslo, IDK why it says sometimes that my CPU it's only 1.2 GHZ, It's actually 2.2 GHZ Core 2 Duo (See first image) So please help me! Thank you! Aslo, my XP installation it's modded(almost fully) into Mac Os X Leopard, that's why the Close, Maximize and Minimize buttons are on the left(not right) Oh, and my graphics card it's an Nvidia Geforce EN8500 GT 512 MB PCI-E. It recognizes it as an VISA(or something like that) 14 MB. I don't basically care about the QE/CI because I just want to have Mac OS X without buying a real MAC. And if there's a patch for my graphics, please tell me where should I get it! Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iScott Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Specs look fine. Boot with -v -x, that should get you into the install, also you can try typing "Vanilla" w/out the quotes instead of -v -x. Some people are having success with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddiesGames Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 I tried booting with -v, no results. I typed "vanilla" not "Vanillla", is there a difference? Aslo, never tried with -x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iScott Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Use -v -x and it will boot. That is what I used and worked like a charm. You don't have to do Vanilla because you will be installing it when you get to the custom screen. Read Kalyways instructions, when it comes up.

andybno1 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 well ok I ran kallyway all installed no problems but I followed a guide which comments on making the partition active (http://home.socal.rr.com/neoncross/don/hackintosh.htm): Make Partition active cd /Volumes/ ls -l ( you should see the list of drives the installer has auto-mounted) umount <YOUROSXINSTALL> cd /usr/misc ./script.sh <YOUROSXINSTALL> now I can do upto umount but when I do cd /usr/misc it says that the dir does not exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddiesGames Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Problem solved, I think. I had to plug in my SATA HD, idk why it didn't boot without it! Anyways, now I have to make another DVD with Leopard, because the current one it's scratched and it couldn't install! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
