I've been working on this for a few weeks, maybe a month on this. I've been trying to follow this guide: philt esone.com/hackintosh.html Since my mobo is the same and my CPU is similar to his, I figured it would run smoothly. However, I…

In Snow Leopard, I use an application called Ralink Wireless Utility to gain wifi access through my Ralink RT3090. It was officially for Leopard, but it works perfectly in Snow Leopard; I wish it were the same for Lion. The application has…

After lots of tinkering, searching, and long nights, I've hunted and narrowed down the necessary steps to successfully install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the Acer Aspire X3400 PC. This method has been tested with my specific model (which can…

“I would try but I don't have an AMD machine anymore. Wow, lucky you, lunfai! I'm looking into an Intel i5 3450, what would you recommend?”

“I'm starting here with: arch = i386-force64 Everything is very stable .. (only with 64-bit apps of course) But I can live well only with them. Only one problem related to Safari, pages with java script, crashes it. Does anyone know how to s…”

“I'm glad we got all fixed, I'm not sure why text edit isn't working. Well, it just kinda bounces in the Dock and doesn't load, same w/ Software Update... btw here are the boot flags I use: Sometimes it doesn't boot with the UHCI and HPET fl…”

“So I've been playing around with Lion a bit, trying to get everything working. There are 2 crucial things I need running: Wifi and Sound. In SL, I get wifi from an app called "Ralink Wireless Utility". It installed correctly in Lion, but wh…”

“No matter what I can always load safe mode, even if my graphic card wasn't detected yet since I didn't modify the kext. I would use this bootflag As for the IntelCPU kext getting in your install, I have no idea how you got that if you used …”

“So, even if I had a supported graphics card, it wouldn't have booted because of that IntelCPUMonitor? Also, shouldn't it say "systemShutdown False"? I'm in the process of finding a good graphics card, would the GT320 be OK?”

“Hmmm do you have a IntelCPUMonitor.kext in your System/Library/Extensions/? If so delete it, because I don't have this kext on mine. OK, I do have an InteilCPUMonitor.kext, and am now deleting it. i took a look at the pic of your system wit…”

“Your really close now! Like really close as dmos has arrive is one of the final signs, not sure why that's showing up, did you use iATKOS L2? Try removing NULLintel... Kext that I gave you, from /system/library/extensions/ And boot up with …”

“Everything up to that point is normal, can you install chameleon on another usb stick using chameleon wizard. If you updated the Snow Leopard one, I think you still have some kexts there in Extra/Extensions, this is causing a disruption wit…”

“still same errors? Yeah, pretty much... Do you have any clue as to what exactly is preventing Lion to boot at this point?”

“Should I delete the SleepEnabler.kext... in my Snow Leopard installation? I did a complete search of both the /Extra and S/L/E directories on my Lion partition and there's no such "SleepEnabler.kext". To lunfai; I updated Chameleon using Ch…”

“try a different fakesmc.kext ir check the contents with right click >get info>contents/plugins/ make sure there isint any intel plugins if so remove them and reinstall kext Hi delgadilloalex, Thanks for the suggestion! I will begin removing…”

“OK, I've attached the pictures of my error; I took these with my iPad camera, with the hopes of giving you guys a basic idea of what I'm facing. If you need a clearer image, or need a closer look at a string of text, I can give you a higher…”

“Take a screenshot of it and I can help you ;D Make sure you type the boot flags correctly OK, I'll try to take a pic of the problem using my iPad. For now, I got the boot process to go a little farther by adding the flag: By adding this fla…”

“Great! Where does it reboot, after the loaded kexts, another black screen should pop up and display the actual verbose for booting. The instant reboot would load the kexts but would never reach the black screen. It doesn't instantly reboot …”

“Using a newer version of Chameleon might of been the problem, what build is the one your using? Let's add stuff. OK, so I used the boot flags mentioned in the above post, and I got a kernel panic upon boot. I think it doesn't instantly rebo…”

“OK, I have not yet rebooted into Lion but I have replaced the mach_kernel with the v5 one. I am using Chameleon v2.0-RC5_699 (please note: this is located on my Snow Leopard partition, not my Lion partiton. I think I'll have to use fdisk to…”

“Hello! Did you replace the mach_kernel file in the root of the installed Lion partition? If your machine reboots without showing any verbose (after kexts are loaded on screen and kicks into the system boot, your machine is either unsupporte…”

“http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=278181 Here's the guide, anyway yes it still crashes, sadly. Hi, I have an existing Snow Leopard installation and am interested in installing/upgrading to OS X Lion. I followed your guide…”

“I have an AMD Athlon II X4 645, and my "About this Mac" used to say "Unknown CPU 3.1 GHz". When I installed OS X, I didn't have a dsdt.aml; However, when I finally extracted and compiled my own, my processor now says "3.1 GHz Intel Core i5"…”

“I followed these instructions a slightly different way, just because I couldn't "repair the permissions" of Lion.dmg (Disk Utility and Command Line method). What I did was: Restore BaseSystem.dmg to USB Drive Delete "Packages" alias and cop…”

“I know this thread is four months old, but I got a graphics card that works in OS X and is stable on my 220W PSU! It's the ATI Radeon HD 5450 by ASUS; I saw it while scrolling through this and decided to buy it after watching this. Hope thi…”

“hmmm Yeah that's also what I'm thinking. It's just so hard to find a power supply that will fit inside my case (flex-atx). What do you think about this PSU and these graphics cards? ge eks.com/details.asp?invtid=GT230-PCIE-15-PB ge eks.com/…”

“I see; How did both graphics cards perform on a 220W PSU? Were there any more frequent PC fan cycles or were there any freezes?”

“Would that graphics card be able to operate with my current power supply (220 W)? I did a little research on it during the 2 days I was gone, and my research told me that the recommended power supply for it would be around 350-400 W, give o…”

“I forgot to mention earlier (sorry), but I have actually been using GraphicsEnabler since I installed this thing. Also, I'm running 10.6.8. I don't think my PC is big enough or has enough power capacity for a graphics card upgrade; I was th…”

“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…”

“WOOHOO! I got my card working by using an older version of WirelessUtility. I've attached the application I'm using to this post. Thanks to Fuego on irc.osx86.co - #lion!”

“No. Lion needs 64-bit mode for many apps, such as Finder. And when Mountain Lion comes it will be pure 64-bit. Aw man! : Do you know of any way to get wifi on a Ralink RT3090 card on OS X Lion? If not then might as well uninstall it, as it …”

“It's not 64-bit. So it won't really work. Thanks for replying! Would it be possible to boot Lion in 32-bit mode so 32-bit applications would work? And also, would there be any setbacks/disadvantages along with booting in 32-bit mode? Thanks…”

“As of right now I'm sticking with my buggy Hackintosh Lion that acts strange and requires me to shut off computer incorrectly before I can boot it. Same here! Have to force-restart at least once (normally twice) for it to boot, and it somet…”

“like the title says, I'm searching things for a new system. I'm still using the same AMD Opteron 185 systems, 5 years after the forum was founded. They still work fine, upgraded to USB3 and SATA6, but the main problem is the software. Leopa…”

“How do you do that? Normally, com.apple.Boot.plist is protected by root, so you can edit it with the following: When you type that, you should see a bunch of XML and what-not. If the Graphics Mode string isn't already there, add it so it lo…”

“What I did on NVIDIA GeForce 9200: Edit the "Graphics Mode" string inside com.apple.Boot.plist.”

“imho, I would reverse what you're doing: Run OS X as my main OS, then just put Windows in the VM. Less problems that way.”

“When you boot up your PC, does it allow you to enter boot flags? If so, you should boot up in verbose mode and post the dump here. Also, did you install any additional drivers during install? I've found that doing a clean install has result…”

“Wow, your netbook is so similar to mine! Maybe you could follow the same guide as I did, modify it a little bit for your needs, and maybe you could get it running!”
