i've been wanting for a while to install osx86 on my pavilion dv6626us pc. The problem is: i have no clue how. I tried once with iatkos v7 and it wouldn't even boot into verbose mode.
i don't know what i did wrong, i just know that i'm desperate. I need u guys to tell me, step by step, what osx86 build i should use (iatkos, ipc...), what to hit on the customize screen, what bootloader to use (and how to), and everything else.
im really frustrated bcause i've searched all over the internet and i haven't found any kind of guide that tells me what to use. Pleeeeeeease, help me!
ps: tell me if you need more system specifications

@tham50hard to believe
no, dude, im serious. ive been searching almost every day since mid-augstu, and i still haven't found anything that could help me. sure, i found lots of guides, but none that specifies which particular kexts and components i should use for my system
by the way, i wouldnt mind installing with a retail. my goal is to get snow leopard installed as soon as possible, but all the guides ive seen require a previous os x installation. hoping to get help on that, too

hard to believe
Try an older distro like the Kalyway 10.5.2.
@diegoxlots of guides, but none that specifies which particular kexts and components i should use for my system
and that goes for the most rigs.
don't wait for someone doing the work for you get active!
learn what the common patches and hacks do and just try some combinations. this is hackint0sh and not a turnkey system!
and it's free btw so there's no claim to support at all.
