Simple Troubleshooting guide: At times after installation, your system may not work properly as in - it may restart, not boot at all or hang at a certain point. This is quite normal and there are many ways for it to be fixed. It varies from one case to another case. However this basic troubleshooting guide would help you to fix most of the common problems. - If you're facing hangs, freezes or kernel panics (which is present as a shutdown symbol on the screen just after boot) type in "-v" (without quotes) in the boot command of the bootloader. This would give you verbose output which is useful for the solution. - "Waiting for root device" - It means that OS X doesn't see your hard disk or boot device. You can face with this during dvd boot or after system install during hdd boot. Change your SATA mode from IDE/RAID to ACHI by your BIOS setup and also you need to check other BIOS settings that might be the usual problem, read the "mickey mouse guide"...

You should definitely read through it, but here’s the gist for movies that contain AC3 audio files: Install a copy of the free Perian QuickTime plug-in on your Mac. String an optical cable between your Mac and a compatible receiver. Launch Audio Midi Setup (found in the Utilities folder) and in the audio output area select Digital Out from the Source pop-up menu and 48000.0Hz and 2ch–16-bit in the Format area. Launch the Terminal app and enter  defaults write com.cod3r.a52codec attemptPassthrough 1  Press Return. If iTunes is running, quit and relaunch it. Locate the movie you want to view, and play it with iTunes’ Volume slider set to its highest level. Also be sure that the equalizer is off. Place your cursor over the movie so that the on-screen controls appear, click on the small bubble icon, and choose the surround sound track. With a little luck, iTunes should now play the movie with surround-sound audio. source:

iATKOS L2 Multiboot: iATKOS L2 has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easy. Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Win-Linux. iATKOS L2, Debian GNU/Linux DVD and Windows7 DVD installers are used in this example. - MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot - - Nearly all PC's work on MBR partitioned harddisks, check it with Disk Utility, if so do no touch it. If it is GPT then you need to repartition your harddisk by loosing all the data in it. Click to partitioning options, select MBR and do the partitioning. - Create 3 or more partitions by using iATKOS Disk Utility or Parted Magic Live CD. Mac OS Extended Journaled (HFS+) format for OS X target, MS-DOS (Fat32) for the others. OS targets must be one of the first 3 partitions creating with Disk Utility. - Add boot flag to Windows or Linux target and install the operating systems in any order you like. For windows, make su...

OSx86 (from Mac OS X and x86) is a collaborative hacking project to run the Mac OS X computer operating system on non-Apple personal computers with x86 architecture and x86-64 compatible processors. The effort started soon after the June 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference announcement that Apple would be transitioning its personal computers from PowerPC to Intel microprocessors. A computer built to run this type of Mac OS X is also known as a Hackintosh, a portmanteau of the word "hack" and the name of Apple's main brand of computers, Macintosh. Hackintoshed notebook computers are also referred to as "Hackbooks". The Apple software license does not allow Mac OS X to be used on a computer that is not "Apple-branded". The legality of this form of tying is disputed by companies such as Psystar, Bizon computer, PearC and MacPC who have attempted to release products using Mac OS on non Apple-machines. However, Apple claims the methods it uses to prevent M...

For creating the bootable usb stick: GoNu wrote: Reporting succesful installer boot with L2. What I did: iAtkos L2 the included mach_atom chameleon 2.1 r1716 chameleon wizard 3.4.3 REPLACED AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily kexts with ones from snow leopard did this: CODE:  SELECT ALL chmod - R 755 mach_kernel chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/* REMOVED ApplePS2Trackpad.kext and saved a new org.chameleon.Boot.plist to usb root (may sound crazy but this is what I did) with these contents: -GUI -Time out 5 -use kernel cache -npci=0x2000 --force64 -ethernet built in -pciroot=1 -system type 2-laptop -graphics enabler -graphics mode 1024x600x32 then booted with flags "USDT=no -v" in EXACTLY THIS ORDER AND CASE.

Have to boot with CODE:  SELECT ALL -v npci=0x2000 USBBusFix=Yes And use a USB mouse during install. Post Install, first boot to single user mode. Remove AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.Kext, AppleIntelHDGraphics.Kext and AppleIntelSNB*.Kext, or you will get no video with a 4500MHD or a 5700MHD. Reboot from single user mode CODE:  SELECT ALL Reboot Next, Boot with CODE:  SELECT ALL -v npci=0x2000 USBBusFix=Yes EHCIaquire=Yes UHCIreset=Yes arch=i386 "Graphics Mode"="1366x768x32" Proceed, using USB mouse again (as Synaptics touch pad does not work properly with 10.7.2 ApplePS2Controller.Kext) Setup a new user, then log in to os X. Replace the Synaptics Kext with the one from:  Here , then use Kext utility to repair permissions (Utilities/Tools) Setup your bootloader using either Champlist (in Utilities/Tools), or the PrefPane in System Settings. I will post my chameleon plist is anyone gets stuck with this model. I have a feeling USB is going to give you some trouble. Adding t...

Edit: updated to include MultiBeast piece I had left out and to add info on battery icon kexts. Please use the latest kexts file called HP 8440p kexts under the Downloads - Miscellaneous section. This newer file has the same kexts as the first one I posted and also the battery kexts. The core process steps boil down to the following phases: Items needed, software to download on windows 7 PC - a USB keyboard and a USB mouse, standard PC models, as the kb/trackpad do not work OOB but require a kext - two USB sticks, one for a faster way to install OSX, the other for the transfer of kexts - Download iATKOS L2 via torrent - Download TRANSMAC to W7 PC - Download dmg2img to convert dmg file to iso file - Registration on this site to download the latest kext zip file I posted in the Downloads / Misc folder - Registration with tonymacx86 so you can download Multibeast Preparation of OSX DVD and USB stick with OSX image on windows 7 PC - Convert the iATKOS L2 DMG file to an iso file with dmg2i...

This post is very useful if you have ever needed to make a readonly Mac .dmg file writable. Say for instance that you wanted to create a Mac OS X install disk, then mount it up writable, add something to it and then save it to be used to install OS X in say “VMware”. Listed below are the steps to make this happen: From Terminal: ###This creates a writable dmg image### hdiutil convert nameoffile.dmg -format UDRW -o nameoffile_writable.dmg ###This tells you the size of the image### hdiutil resize -limits nameoffile_writable.dmg ###This resizes your dmg image so that you will have space to add stuff to it. Make sure you substitute the first number from the previous command and add to it sufficiently for the 9999etc. number### hdiutil resize -sectors 999999 nameoffile_writable.dmg ###This mounts the new dmg writable image so that you can add stuff to it### hdiutil attach nameoffile_writable.dmg source : Download Kexts

Kernel Cache Add the following code to your org.chameleon.boot.plist file to use: <key> UseKernelCache </key> <string> Yes </string> You can also use MultiBeast 4.x to do this easy! By TonyMac :)

1. Shutdown and Install the Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD4350 and boot NOTE: Boot with normal mode. If the normal mode doesn't work then boot into safe mode. And if safe mode also doesn't work, then remove the card and continue with the steps below. I however, did not have to boot in safe mode, I just booted in normal mode with my Graphics card already installed. 2. Open the EVOenabler and ATY_init folder, Open Applications folder in a seperate window. Select both the files in EVOenabler and ATY_init folder and drag them over to 'Kext Utility' found in the Applications folder in order to install them automatically with permissions also being repaired automatically. 3. Open ATI4350 folder and copy paste the file to Extra/Extensions folder. 4. Open the Controllers folder and again Applications folder opened in a seperate window, select all the files from Controllers foler and drag them over to 'Kext Utility' in order to install them automatically with permissions a...

The BIOS settings for every motherboard looks similar but never exactly the same. For that reason we can't tell you, command-by-command, where to go to find and make certain adjustments. Here are the settings you will need to adjust (or at least verify) in your BIOS to make your hardware hackintosh-friendly: Disable Quick Boot . You may have to look around for this, but we've often found this in a section titled Advanced BIOS Settings. Just look for a Quick Boot or Fast Boot option and ensure it is set to disabled. Configure SATA as AHCI . By default, your motherboard will configure SATA as IDE and you'll need to change this to AHCI. In some cases you'll be asked if you want to do this when you boot up for the first time. If so, choose yes. If not, go into your BIOS and look for this setting as you'll need to make the change for everything to work smoothly. Change the Boot Device Order . Your BIOS will default to a specific boot order, which means it'll look for...
