So this is the computer you were talking to me about in your drunkness the other night eh?

You running OS-X on the IBM, or do you have your Mac-Mini hiding somewhere?

Mac OS X is running on an IBM, correct.

Gotta love "Hackintosh"

Hell yeah I attempted to do that to my computer, but for some reason when the computer went to restart and boot into the OS-X installation I would see the Apple splash screen (the gray with the logo in the middle) for a split second. Then my computer would reboot into an endless loop of rebooting and seeing that screen flash

I checked my hardware and I'm sure all of it is OSx86 compatible.

Sounds like you forgot to actually set a kernel to install. You can't go with a default install, you have to select the correct kernel during the installation, otherwise it keeps rebooting cause it has nothing to boot to..

Also, there's a chance your motherboard won't work.. even if it's on the HCL, one thing they forget, is the BIOS can be different.. I got two mobos, one with an AMI BIOS, and one with the Pheonix BIOS.. Only the one with Pheonix runs reliably, while the AMI one can crash randomly.

My BIOS is a Phoenix BIOS

Do you have a tutorial that I could follow to install this? I'm willing to make an 80Gb partition on one of my HDDs to toy around with this as I would like to dual boot OS-X and Vista on my comp

I've been reading some info on the OSx86 project Web site, but so far nothing has really mentioned setting a kernel

I use the JaS disc, that's the only one I'm familiar with... During the selection screen of what to install, one says "INTEL" and the other says "AMD"..

I've never heard of this "JaS" to be honest. The stuff I was getting was torrents built for the OSx86, which is where I was probably going wrong

I'll do some research on this JaS disc you speak of

JaS 10.4.8 SSE2 SSE3 Intel AMD, something like that, it's a fairly universal disc. Boots up verbosely, but goes right into a GUI like a real Mac.

Hey bro, I'm trying to install this JaS to my external Hard Drive, but I keep seeing this upon the installation boot: [link]

I've formatted my external HDD to FAT32, and enabled Plug-n-Play OS in my BIOS and no luck Any ideas? Could it be caused by me using a SATA DVD drive?

Ouch. I take it your motherboard has the "SiS" chipset. Your screwed essentially. "Still waiting for root device" means it's still waiting for your chipset to ID the drives available.

One3Creations In reply to blackevilweredragon [2008-02-28 22:39:22 +0000 UTC]

Could it be related to SATA at all?

If not, do you think SiS will be supported any of the builds? (10.4.x, 10.5.x?)

blackevilweredragon In reply to One3Creations [2008-02-29 00:06:14 +0000 UTC]

SiS will unlikely be supported, no Mac uses it, and when it comes to chipsets, 3rd party isn't exactly an option.

Yes, it could be SATA.. Thing is, my IBM is SATA, and it worked great...

Hmmm, that's pretty lame I wonder if any super computer-savvy hacker will make a fix/hack to allow SiS.

Not likely, because most who make a Hakintosh get an Intel board that is stock, compatible with OS X, like my IBM, which is Intel chipset loaded..

Ya... but then you have people like me who build a computer for Windows, then eventually want to decide they want to have a Hackintosh too

Oh well, I'm install Ubuntu as I found a system that converts Ubuntu's desktop environment into a setup pretty much just like OS-X

That wasn't what I found, but that sure seems to be an easier way to get it working

The thing I found was requiring me to download and install multiple packages
