chrisj Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've successfully partitioned and hackintoshed 10.6.3 on my Inspiron 1520.I've installed the 10.6.7 combo pkg, but upon Restart it hangs at the Apple logo (and spinning icon). Any suggestions/remedy would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2012 check in your bios if you have ahci support for sata and enable it. you can also try adding the npci=0x2000 flag at the chameleon prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Yes, the bios has AHCI enabled. Please clarify is that ncpi= Oh or zero x two zero zero zero? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdamnit Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 npci=zeroxtwozerozerozero or npci=zeroxtwothousand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for your help, however it stills hangs. Any additional help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdamnit Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 You can also try the npci=0x3000 flag. That sometimes works. The flag PCIRootUID=1 might work as well. You said when booting with verbose that the last line is "SATA WARNING: Enable auto-activate failed". What are the few lines before that? Is the line "DSMOS has arrived" showing up?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2012 what type of os install methodes are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for all your replies. Obviously I'm new at this. When I enter ncpi=0x3000 does it require a dash in front of it like -v does? the last few lines are: DSMOS has arrived Intel Memory::init AppleBCM440OXEthernet address 00:1d:09:dd:b8:4a Intel memory::init Init Pool: Offset = OX08000000 size = 0x08000000 SATA WARNING: Enable auto-activate failed regarding "what type of os install methodes are you using?" I'm installing 10.67 combo from apple.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
