Hey all,
I am having an issue I hope you can assist me with. I followed the instructions and installed Snow Leopard on to an external USB drive (old 80gb IDE HDD inside). The install went fine, within an hour I was successfully booted into Snow Leopard on my PC. Everything worked so well in fact I decided to do the same install on an internal SATA drive. I cleared out one storage hard drive and followed the instructions again. Originally I was getting a black screen, the error was either SMC related, or "Device in Slot 1" related. Today I happen to have my USB headset plugged in, and when I booted up to test - I heard the welcome music (the music the first time you turn on OSX and go to the registration page) coming through my speakers, but again no video other then the black screen in -v mode. (I also tried -pci0/-pci1 and -x -- none were sucessful). Anyways, I took out my Video Card ( I have a Sapphire 4870 1GB card ) and switched to onboard video in BIOS. The system booted up fine with no flags. I entered the system with no issues at all and it is working fine as we speak. I turned off the computer and put the 4870 in again and tried to boot, but it went right back to the black screen. What confuses me is I had to do absolutely nothing reguarding my Video Card when installing to the external USB drive, but for some reason, while installing to my internal SATA drive, my video card will not operate correctly. (Note: during one of my many tests I copied over the boot file, kernel, /Extras/ folder to my internal sata drive from my working external drive install (i rebuilt the mkext file and changed the UUIDs to the internal.. but that did not work either.)). Any suggestions on what I can try to do to be able to use my 4870? Summary: -- Can boot into OSX with internal graphics. -- Black screen when attempting to boot with Radeon 4870. -- External USB drive works fine WITH the 4870 in. Mobo and GPU: Motherboard: Gigabit MA-790GP-UD4H VC: Sapphire 4870 1GB Processor: Phenom II x4 920 (4x 3.0GHz) Thanks very much! |

I finally upgraded my AMD box to SL. Everything appears to be working except About This Mac; it's crashing, logging out and logging back in like it would back on 10.5.2...I can't seem to find a fix for this on SL (tried the old patches, nothing). Anyone heard of this or have a fix for it? Thanks!
EDIT: JK, finding a bunch of issues with volume slider and such. Either way, I haven't found anything regarding the About This Mac crash Last edited by biird; 12-19-2009 at 09:56 AM. |

K guys I got it booted via maxmem=4096 but still have a few problems plz help.
1) The only way i can get to the bootloader is by selecting boot device via the bios and then booting to harddrive. If i just let the computer do its thing the screen goes blank and it does not change even if i turn the computer on and off. The only way i can get it to boot back to the bios is by turning the power supply off for 10 seconds and then on. 2) How do i integrate maxmem=4096 into the bootloader so i dont have to type it in everytime. 3)Half the time i boot into sl none of the applications work... the other half only safari and itunes dont work. 4) it only shows one core working.. i used AppleSMBios-AnV-MacPro to get all the cores show on ipc but it does not work with sl. Anyway i can get it to work? After a week of trying i finally got some kind of SL booted but please help me get these issues sorted and make the the happiest hackintosh SL user on the planet. thanks in advance! |

I think I understand now what's happening to my Nvidia 7300GT on SL. QE/CI apparently works, but the problem is OpenCL which (according to Nvidia) is not OpenCL compatible.
Could this be the cause why my SL is so sluggish? Please somebody answer.

Chameleon not booting
I am a noob at hackintosh. I followed the steps to install snow leopard on amd pc. Restored image to thumb drive.
Installed chameleon rc2, but failed. I only succeded after changing the additional options to chameleon efi hfs and not the standard. As a result, the bootloader boots but is unable to boot from my os x install usb. Can any one help me with this? By the way, the usb is not in GUID partition. |
