ravagilli Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have tried multiple attempts to install OS X on my machine but to no success. My Laptop specs are as follows;(SANTA ROSA PLATFORM)Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 [2.0ghz x 2 - 4MB cache] (branded centrino duo)2048 MB RAM [DDR2 667mhz]250 GB HDD [Western Digital]Intel Mobile 965 Express ChipsetIntel X3100 Graphics Chip [1280 x 800]Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG [i accept this doesn't work!]Realtek RTL8168 Gigabit ethernet controllerConexant HD Audio [CXT5045]I have tried installing TOH RC2, Kalyway and the img method. Kalyway installs but doesn't boot. TOH doesn't even get to the install stage, i think because it cannot load video drivers for my card because i think they've been removed from cd.As my spec is very, very similar to a proper mac i cannot understand why it wont work. After many attempts, it is starting to get annoying so any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravagilli Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Success Writing this on my new hackintosh! ha ha Thanks to every one who helped, much appreciated! I can report everything worked from the iATKOS 1.0i R2, including sound, Graphics Adapter, Network Card (Wired), dvd drive, both cores detected. Only thing is wireless, but i already knew that wouldn't work (Intel 3945). Much respect to iATKOS team.Lets hope someone can sort the wireless problem out, then i may consider using mac as my only os! Cheers p.s Just wanted to say which laptop mine is incase anyone was wondering if it will install;Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile v5505specs are in the first postE-mail if you require any assistance with installing on this model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdall-brz Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 My specs are similar to yours, the only difference is the processor: Pentium Dual Core T2030 but it's a Meron anymway. I install it, and everything works fine, except the wireless adaptor of course. The problem occurs after I boot it, from them on I just get the "You must restart you computer" screen. I would like to know wich packages you selected during the install. I think the problem is related to it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
