scottmac112 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hello All! First of all, I would like to say Hello! This is my first try with OS X. I have always been with either Windows or Linux, and I love Apple computers, but have never had quite enough money to buy one. So, I am creating my Hackintosh; my OSX CD is the Leopard 10.5.1 Developer Preview. Here's my pertinent system information: Dell Inspiron 1501 Notebook Processor: AMD Turion 64 MK-36 Single Core Memory: 896 MB (2x 512 MB) Hard Drive: 60GB SATA Onboard LAN and Wi-Fi SD Card Reader 4 USB Ports Audio: Sigmatel STAC 92XX Video: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 My other Hackintosh wouldn't even boot into the installer. Here's its stats: Gateway 500S Desktop (circa 12/02) Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Brookdale 2.0GHz Memory: 256MB SDRAM Hard Drive: 30GB ATA Onboard LAN, Linksys 54G USB Wi-Fi 6 USB Ports Audio: SoundMAX ??? Video: Intel 82845G/GL Integrated First off, why couldn't the Gateway boot? It got into the Mach kernel (I didn't type anything in at the startup). It went about to all the way down the screen, blanked the screen, and rebooted. I tried it in VMware also, and it restarted, and I can't right off remember, but it said something about a CPU failure or something. Then, I tried it in the laptop. It booted just fine, and then when it got to the "Where would you like to install it?" screen, there was nowhere to install it to. So, I went to Utilities>Disk Utility. Nada but the CD. Went to System Profiler. Nada but the DVD drive on the ATA Bus. No SATA device recognized. Everything else looked good. Anything I can do? I have heard that SATA is supported, but no dice here!

Rufus T. Firefly Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 If i'm correct you cpu only supports SSE2 and I believe the DVD you're using only is intended to be installed on real macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the disc, I made sure that it was an OSx86 disc. The title of the torrent that you can find at The Pirate Bay is: Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.1_for_AMD_SSE2_SSE3_(32bits) The DVD is patched to run on your PC, all installation packages are originals (except MacOSXUpd 10.5.1 which needed to be repacked) and patched automatically in the end of the installation process. Darwin bootloader is installed at the very end. (See FixLeo.pkg) Only English and French are available. Gutenprint Printers Drivers and drivers for Geforce 8800GTX/GTS(NVinject 0.1.3) are available too. It runs fine on the following machine : - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ S939 - ASUS A8N5X NForce 4 - 4 x 512 MB DDR400 - Maxtor 250 GB Sata2 - Geforce 8800 GTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
