vrao Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hello, I have been trying to perform a clean install of snow leopard on my dell latitude e6400. I am using a boot132 cd, and a retail Mac OS X snow leopard installer DVD. When I boot up, I get stuck at PCI configuration end... And I have already tried using the npci flags. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! Specs LATITUDE E6400 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 gb ram Intel GM45 graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 3, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 3, 2014 Try myHack + boot pack instead. It's a known and established method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2014 Bear in mind that Intel GM45 graphics = GMA 4500MHD, so no graphics acceleration; that chip is not supported by Apple, which renders OS X kinda useless... GMA 4500MHD-based systems are not worth hackintoshing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrao Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 I put in my install disk, and ran myhack. It said it was copying the files, and all the processes went faster than normal(it might be because I got a new flash drive), but at the end, when I looked at it on finder, there were no files on it, and when I go to get info, it says that only 29 MB was taken up. This is the real retail DVD from Apple, so I don't know what went wrong. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrao Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 i have successfully installed snow leopard, but after setting up everything, it took me to the desktop. The finder bar wasn't there, but the dock worked. Whenever i clicked on an application at dock, the screen would just go blank, and come back to the desktop saying that finder closed unexpectedly. Should i reinstall, or is there anything i can do. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
