Field Note #1 @Lacedaemon 2012-05-22

Your CPU should run OS X Lion, and since it's Intel, there shouldn't be a need for any distros. With that said, you should try some of the guides out there, i.e. tonymacx86's ↗. These guides mostly require OS X already installed on the PC, or ask that you have access to an OS X machine, so it would be a good idea to focus on that before attempting to install OS X, especially Lion. If you have absolute zero access to an OS X machine at the moment, you could try installing it in a virtual machine for preparation purposes...

Cheers,

Mac OS Leopard on Acer Aspire One AO-722 C6Ckk

I successfully installed Mac OS 10.5.7 using iATKOS v7 on Acer Aspire One 722 netbook after struggling for three looong weeks but the problem is when the install success message comes and pc restarts the Chameleon bootloader screen comes and after a while the apple logo comes but before appearing the spinning wheel the screen becomes blurry & i stuck there & therefore i cannot boot.

I used a couple of boot flags like "-v -x -f DSDT=null arch=i386 npci=0x2000 cpus=1 Graphics enabler=yes Use KernelCache=yes PCIRootUID=1 busratio=10" but none of these worked i tried them both individually and together.

One more thing i heard i have to patch the CPU-IDs using Marvin's AMD Utility but this i have to do after first boot on a running mac as far as i know right?
Some people said i have to patch it first then the os will boot. But here the situation is i couldn't boot so how can i patch the CPU-IDs before booting for the first time?

What else i should do? i dont have any other idea of how to make it work coz im new in mac os. Anyone has got any idea on how to solve this problem? plz help i cant wait to run this gorgeous os!

You need to figure out which kexts and settings fit you. Do some research by googling your hardware.

Response to your problem

I tried to figure it out for weeks that PCI Begin freeze or kernel panic, the answer is that as long as you start your installation with your nvidia card in you won't be able to pass that kernel panic, just take it out and use your onboard intel videocard and you should be fine.I don't know if it works adding the nvidia card later on, but at least what I am advising you I tried it myself and it works.Apparently there is no workaround to start Lion installation process with your nvidia card pluged in.Hope this helps.Let me know of your restults at [email protected] , I am highly interested in this.Thanks
