dsc Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi! I'm new to the world of hackintosh, I was hoping I could get some help with this install I made I followedAppliArt's guide ( http://www.osxlatitude.com/how-to-install-snow-leopard-on-your-amd-system/) wich was awesome! (Thank you AppliArt!) I'm running an AMD Phenom II X2 550 on an ASUS M4A785-M mobo All the instlaation process went smoothly and was very quick but then when I inserted the parameter GraphicsEnabler=yes in the bootloader it wouldent boot, it just got stuck there I've tried it a couple of times unsuccesfully Should I try with a differente codec? Wich one? And the sound isnt working, I have the VoodooHDA installed any advice will be very much welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi, I am new to hackintosh as well - see my "struggles" here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1377-os-x-on-amd-system Are you using MB onboard ATI Radeon HD 4200 video? Then you need to search for ATI Radeon HD 4200 kext(kext = driver). Quick google search gave me this thread for example: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=216529 maybe there is no kext for ATI Radeon HD 4200 that provides full acceleration for your version of SL,then you need to buy a video card that is fully supported by OS X. I think some can be found as cheap as $30 new. The same principles should apply to your audio. I hope that I didnt give you any misleading info - if I am wrong somebody please correct me. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 better yet search for your motherboad model - there should be some combination of kexts and patches that work on that particular model.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsc Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Awesome! thanks for your reply! Yeah! I've read about your stuggles before my post! haha, so yeah I' have to do some struggling myself now! That was very helpfull, I'm looking up to see if I can find the right kexts also, I'm currently running on 10.6.2 I should probably update my SL before looking up for new kexts right? cause I just noticed the guide uses 10.6.3 (I just happened to have a .2 retaill dvd!) So yeah, if nothing works I guess I'll end up buying new cards! I'll post my achievements later ! thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
