Administrators Hervé Posted May 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi, can you first list your machine's specifications? There's no guide here for that model, so this could be the opportunity to make one up and integrate it to EDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2013 chameleon might have issues with dual cpu booting. also you need to research what mac pro is the closest match to your hardware specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjjd Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Herve , i just got my hands on the beautifull desktop. What exactly do you need for information from the hardware to create an EDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 12, 2013 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2013 EDP can integrate your machine once you've built it and established all that is required. Updating EDP is not really a forward-process in that respect. It's based on the understanding that the Hackintosh is built and fine-tuned through /Extra folder. We then use this to prepare the EDP system build and boot package. Start by listing your system's specifications and we can take it from there. Ideally, you would try to install SL, L and ML; Maverick in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 7, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2013 Use lspci kext and then you can run Term command "lspci -nn" to list your hardware. That can help you identify some or all the necessary kext you may need. Then we just need to know those kexts, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
