Fox's Hackintosh Install Tutorial PART 2/4

[JKAYnl]

Q: if you download a VSTI like MASSIVE

do i need to download it for mac or windows to work in logic?

[DjAdam16]

@JKAYnl omg man, just kill yourself.....what a dumb question. Of course you need to get the MAC version to it. either in VSTi or AU.

[JKAYnl]

@DjAdam16 i will

[Hardipjatt1]

hey dude could you tell me where to download the bootloader and where?

[Sytrusze]

Hey mate. Thank you so much!! I do have a question though..i've got Mac OS X installation DVD that came with my Macbook Pro. Could i use this one to install? Thanks!

[MadonnaSrbija]

I install OSX Leopard with IDE success with no problems... :)

[mpmdzoomas]

My desktop is same as yours!!!

[webRomel]

I had a problema when i press enter the black screen starts with a lot of white letters right well the problem is when it get to a point that says appledecrypt: starting... and it staty there how do i fixed it?

[123ramzan]

[iseaall1205]

nice keyboard

[anigma9]

nice ghetto keybored also do u aculy live n japan

[TheiTouchGuy1994]

I like your videos very thorough, thanks

[LALOMAN18]

Yes you can install the customize options driver again after a fully installed Leopard or SL... How? Once installed, run the cd again in OS X and the cd will show on the desktop. double click it, a window will pop up asking you u want to install OS X again.. go below and you will have a folder called, 'extra' there you have an installer for those same custom drivers that where during the OS X setup! Hint.. uncheck all Printers, Languages if u don't speak other than English and Additional Fonts!

[LALOMAN18]

OK rookies... there's lots of bootloader and he seems to be using Boot-132 bootloarder.. The best and easiest boot loaders for retail Snow Leopard are Empire-EFI, Rebel EFI or my favorite and best 'Pirate EFI-X' bootloaders! These all work fine with Asus, Gigabyte and MSI mobos. If you have ATI or NVidia cards, use NVdarwin or ATIDarwin kext drivers, they are perfect after a perfect SL install... The Pre-installation on Pirate EFI-X is the easiest and best! These bootloaders r free.

[LALOMAN18]

You don't need a SATA DVD drive, a USB external slim drive will do just fine, actually USB external slim driver seem to have the power to force install almost anything on pc's or old ass pc's! You can download a pirate version, is the same exact copy as the retail except for the price! He says these so he won't get trouble for his video...

[notmuchhowaboutyou]

I got to the point where it says

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132_dfe_r146_chameleon_pr­e

8191MB memory

VESA c3.8 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)

Loading Darwin/x86

_

but it doesn't go any farther. The _ key just blinks.

Do you have any idea on what could be wrong?

[Neal123]

Will this work for an AMD Processor?

[huggi2]

what if u own a mac and have the discs that come with it will that work because it was legal

[evilofdarkness89]

When I press Esc and then press Enter on the bootloader page it doesn't boot from my Mac OS X DVD only a Black Screen comes out and stops there.

What is it cause of?

And you said only use SATA but i'm using IDE is the the cause?

[thejapanesechallenge]

@evilofdarkness89 It's very possible it's a problem with IDE. There are a lot of reasons. It's impossible to diagnose it with such little information. Shoot a video of the screen or take pictures, and then post a detailed message on InsanelyMac's website.

[WILDKCAT]

I have AMD Turion(tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10 GHz

4.00GB of Ram, to be honest i dont know much of what that means, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which bootloader disc would work, because if have tried 4 already and none have worked...thank you

[smeelokilo]

How do I tweak the bootloader, all of my hardware is compatible but I get the same error as Jozeff16. So how do I tweak it??? Reply fast.

[thejapanesechallenge]

@smeelokilo It depends on what boot loader you are using. I'm using Chameleon, the latest version. You'll have to look at those websites for details, depending on the specific boot loader. Chameleon I believe has an interface from inside Mac OS X to change the settings, such as the default OS, time to wait, etc. If not, try OSx86 Tools. It's not in development anymore, though.

[eldaguinio]

can i use ps2 keyboard and mouse instead usb???

[facetrop]

i have installed mac os x on my toshiba satellite 2.56GHz 4gb ram and ATI graphics just when i started my pc to boot up and nothin happend when i choose mac os x on my D: whats wrong i used ideneb with my setups i also checked the DVD in a virtual mashine ? im sad :( sorry my english is like a bit cheese :D

[anurag4urs]

hi fox, m using a asus P5N73-AM mother board, core 2 duo 2.8 ghz, 2gb ddr2 ram, sata dvd, i couldnt even find any mac distro to instal in my PC, is there is any way to do this..

[hockeysnipa17]

im not sure if you can help me with this or not but ill give it a shot, im trying to put 10.6.1 on my eeePC a netbook, i have used the bootloader and then after it says loading darwin/x86 it does nothing. the prompt goes to the next line and just blinks, then after about 5 minutes the screen goes black and its like the system is dead. any suggestions?

[thejapanesechallenge]

I haven't encountered that type of problem. You may try searching for it on the Insanely Mac forums. If you can't find anything, make a post giving a detailed but but concise description of the problem. Including a legible picture of the screen just before the "blackout" would also be useful. When I post about trouble, I sometimes take a short video of the screen in the last moments before the trouble, and then post a link to that video. The more info people have, the more they can help you.

[Jozeff16]

I have the same exact problem with the 10.6 install as you, just not the same computer. I get to the screen where darwin/x86 is loading then it does nothing.

Can someone help us???? :)

[thejapanesechallenge]

Therein is your issue.. you're not using the same setup. You will have to tweak the bootloader and the kexts/etc. to match your hardware. Are you SURE that your hardware is compatible? A lot of people are trying to force OS X onto incompatible hardware and just stress themselves out and waste a lot of time.

Compatible hardware... that's the key.

[smeelokilo]

@thejapanesechallenge I get that same problem and I checked and all of my hardware is compatible so how do I tweak the bootloader? Please respond fast!

[Jus512]

Look, I really appreciate your tutorial, but you are treating us like a bunch of retards

[thejapanesechallenge]

I specifically made a shorter video called "Fox's Quick Hackintosh Tutorial," designed for people with more computer knowledge. Despite speaking very simply and trying to keep the terminology incredibly basic, there are still a lot of people that need additional help and coaching (evidenced by the abundance of questions about things that others may consider obvious).

That's how it is. I have to appeal to the majority who don't know computers as well as you or I.

[peterbernier]

Scratchy?..lol... love it.. i named my Hard drives too.. I got one named Wall-E, Tera and Mother brain (from metroid) Great Video.. i'm going to build a Hacintosh someday

[thejapanesechallenge]

"Scratchy" is my scratch disk :). For those that don't know, a scratch disk is not a damaged disk, it is a disk for storing media (video/audio/graphics) on for use in editing.

[webmessia]

Couldn't you have shown people how to use Disk Utility? P.S I had a far easier time installing using an IDE DVD drive, It's slower yes but it means you don't need a hacked distro or motherboard specific boot loader disk.

[thejapanesechallenge]

I might just do that.

As for the IDE drive issue, I don't think you understand what I was trying to say. Using or not using an IDE drive has *nothing* to do with hacked distros or retail installations. It's also not really slower.

[torchwo0d90]

dude i really need some help ive downloaded "boot 123" do i need to make the files into an iso. because i put all the loose files onto a cd hoping that it would work but it didnt.

[sviridovt]

nice tutorial but when I try to boot the mac disk it shows me a kernel panic please help

[deviousspic]

any idea where i can fink a boot 132 for an Intel DX58SO motherboard?

[dylanthorner]

I found boot loader just like that and it works on dell inspiron 1545

[greekaas]

First: how do i know wicht is the best boot loader?i am not good at these and i dont know good english.

Second: I have downloaded a boot loader and i have done everything but when at your pc at 2.00 secs the white screen with the gray apple in the middle appears and then at a few seconds it starts loading with a little spinning icon down of the apple mie doesnt do that it stucks and just stays in that situasion! plz help!

[thejapanesechallenge]

For all those looking for a boot loader, please search Insanely Mac forums.

[ApoCalypsis95]

the keyboard is special for Final Cut Studio

[PWNSTAR005]

sweet keyboard

[djjacksondeep]

HI man.. whi Do you don't entered in GuiD partition table ?????

.

and... you used Genuine BootLoader or modified?

.

[DJJRIZZO]

i used ide dvd drive and ide hdd and it worked with jas 10.4.9 and iatkos 1.0ir2

[bifnewman1]

you can still install other options from the mac os x installer dvd, its not said and done when you install

[sk8stevesk8]

is the bootloader : boot 132? no matter how much i search i cant find a boot loader without it being boot 132. help finding one?

[hotmetalslugs]

I can't find an easy list of bootloaders to choose from.

And the tutorials for boot 132 seem to be written in broken english...

[thejapanesechallenge]

The links are in the first video's description.

[sk8stevesk8]

i thought this was a really interesting video because i've never seen this method be used before. just a few questions though-

you did NO patching to the leopard installer disc correct?

did u have to do ANY sort of bios tweaking?

thanx for the rest of the help. im pretty sure i will use your method because its one of the most thorough tutorials i've saw besides the guy from lifehacker. urs seems like the best plus u give troubleshooting advice!!

[thejapanesechallenge]

Yes, set MAXCPUID to disabled. That tends to cause crashing when running System Profiler. You may need to make adjustments to get sleep to work properly as well.

[iixtapai]

hello...i need help with this... after loading the bootloader and placing the OS X retail disc into the drive, it begins to load and then decides to reboot... a message appears on the screen shortly before saying "Attempting to determine CPU Multiplier. If system reboots, RDMSR 198h causes a fault.

Determined CPU:FSB multiplier to be 9

Measuring TSC frequency (e.g. CPU speed)

CPU runs at 2999.710800 MHz

BUS must therefore run at 333.301200 MHz". thanks in advance for any help...

[iixtapai]

btw... u can find my specs on item 280356546199 on ebay...

[silgim]

hello, every time i put the max osx install disc in, my computer just restarts. what am i doing wrong?

[newguy302]

ok, pleas reply, when i boot it up it works awsoe!! but when i got to install it trys andthan likke a little bit through it says cannot install with a big yellow ! please tell me how to fix this, and i know my computer can deffently run it.

[sk8stevesk8]

if u watch the rest of the tutorial he will show u that it happened to him and will happen to most people. he shows u how to still run leopard though.

[ROEJONO]

damn heck i used an ide cable and it works, now all i need is a usb keyboard and mouse got the mouse but no keyboard and can this run on a 7 pin keyboard

[nsfx]

Hi, thank you for the videos! they are amazing. One question, what format must we format our hard drive as?? I got an old hard drive that i want to format to install OS x on it. Thanks mate.

[thejapanesechallenge]

When you install OS X, it will automatically format the drive as it needs to. If you're partitioning a drive prior to running the OS X install, you can leave the OS X install partition as FAT16/32 or NTFS.

[nsfx]

Cheers mate, you are a legend. Will try that and let you know if it works. My specs btw. Intel E8400, Asus P5Q, 9800GT 512MB.

[thejapanesechallenge]

I just bought a P5Q Pro recently. Had a little trouble with the onboard ethernet (AttansicL1eEthernet) and ultimately decided I didn't need a new motherboard after all, and returned it. Other than that, it seemed pretty nice, and the SATA ports are positioned so that a large graphics card won't block them (an amazingly common issue with logicboards nowadays).

[jonsutubechannel]

hi! i installed it on my gatway laptop and everything installs great! the only problem iam having is the keyboard

[bobupop]

For, me everyhting worked instantly, except my hd4850 gpu and sound, but i fixed it. Wifi and bluetooth worked

[thejapanesechallenge]

That's awesome! Please share your hardware with us! And make a post on InsanelyMac with your hardware list telling everyone about your success :). Even if no one responds, people may catch your post via Google searches and be immensely helped by it.

[frankiemelissa]

Hey i had a question. i have a dell laptop and don't really want to buy and build my own hackintosh. Can i just get the bootloader and install leopard on my laptop?

[thejapanesechallenge]

I've heard a lot of people have good luck with USB wifi devices. I personally used a wireless card, and it was problematic at times. I'm currently using an ethernet cable and it's much more stable than wireless.

[darrenc12pdg123]

i used ipc im getting an ati radeon hd 2400 pcie to work im wondering would a wifi usb pen work with t

osx

[jackalarrr]

Yes, as long as it wotrks with os x
