Zanzibar Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Administrators and Gentlemen (ladies, too) - was curious to get your professional feedback on something that's seldom seen and heard around here - using Sixty-Four on Thirty-Two as an option to install Mountain Lion on my D630 w/ X3100 Hi-Res Graphics. Was tired of bypassing the obligations associated on MLPF and tried what some seem to think is a much better answer. It's my understanding that ML needs to be a Golden Master (GM) which, fortunately, it is. By the time I laid it all into place, it couldn't find the mach_kernel. What's up with THAT ? I have ML on another partition , obviously without QE/CI, LauchPad and the New Notifications etc. I'm wondering what I've missed ? I had the same problem trying to install Mavericks, and it also couldn't find the mach_kernel. Oh,well - I will continue to read until my eyeballs pop, and then, pop them back in and continue reading. Thanx and, by all means, have a nice day.

Administrators Hervé Posted June 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2015 You're mistaken. SFOTT is a tool to support installation of 64bit-only versions of OS X on older EFI32 Mac systems that do not natively support booting 64bit-only versions but can perfectly run them with the correct hardware (e.g.: MacPro1,1/2,1, etc.). Consider it a bypass mechanism to EFI32. It's of no use on Hackintoshes and will not help you in the matter of getting X3100 support under ML on a D630. Not much you can do but use MLPF with its own particular bugs & limitations and, of course, a legit' copy of ML (whatever the released mainstream version) which may still be available here.

Zanzibar Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ah-ha ! No wonder why it didn't work ! After the SFOTT Installer had finished, when opened all that it had to offer was the ML Installer.app and other Applications. Thanx for the heads-up - I guess that I hadn't read enough to be making a sound decision. Even though that I'm a Pro in the real world, I'm pretty much still a noob when it comes to Mac OS X . Thanx again for your time and patience and, by all means, have a very goodday ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
