A while ago I bought myself a macbook pro and I love it. My regular pc (which has better hardware specs and much more HD space) got into neglection untill I heard of mac os X being able to boot on a intel pc.
Unfortunately after days and days of searching and trying several disks I can't get it to work. I've also tried some optional kernel's and bootloaders. I am using the cpus=1 command which makes it possible to install mac os x and when booting it shows the circle animation (without cpus=1 just the apple shows up).
My specs are:
Asrock p45r2000-wifi
Intel q9550 (quadcore @2.83 GHZ)
8 GB ddr3 (Corsair Dominator I believe)
Club 3d (Ati) HD4850.

Do and of you have an idea what my problem could be? The hardware should be able to run it. If i check CPU-Z it says i can use the SSE 2, 3 and even 4.1.
I would appreciate it if you could help me out with my problem or even if you would just point me in the right direction.
