I've tryed to install hack osx in this laptop (asus X5DIN), but i can't. I have tried 4 different versions, iAtkos, kalyway, brazilmac, and empire efi with original mac osx disc.

When I boot the laptop, I press F2 to select boot drive, it starts to charge the disk, but, with iAtkos, only appear a half of a second the white screen with the apple, and reboot automaticaly. With the other disks, it take some minutes loading, and at last, it reboots automaticaly also.

I have updated the BIOS of the talptop to the last version.

Maybe some incompatibillity with the processor (t4400), or the graphic card (g102m)?

Have I to wait for a iAtkos v8?

Thanks for your time, and sorry about my bad english.

well.. I have tryed the image of asus k50in boot cd, and it does not works in my laptop (appears boot manager, gut don't load osx dvd), i've tryed also the 2 tutorials of l1fehacker "Install Snow Leopard on Your Hackintosh PC, No Hacking Required" and the previous tutorial, but when starts to read the image appears a kernel panic.

Some ideas? maybe i need specific *.kexts to put into extra folder?

Did you try to install Mac OS X from DVD? You also can try Boot CD v1 (deposit files.com/files/lvdtqiaxt) with retail DVD Mac OS X (10.6).

And you can look here: pra sys.co.cc/2009/10/empire-efi
