How can I get it to boot alone, without my usb installer ?

By the way, it installed in 10 minutes and is very very fast.

ThanX Mate. WOW...........

[Cassio]

Install procedures are the same as the DVD http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1644

Steps 3 and 4, then it should boot from HD.

That is most impressive, am d/l now.

Perfect timing, I just got the components for a new build. Mid-level Ivy Bridge, planning on dual-boot w/Win7. Re the Ivy Bridge, any special aspects or warnings just for IB? I have made a few hackmacs and think I have the general procedure down fairly well. Have seen that IB needs the Bridge Builder from tonycrap, also have seen some comments that Mountain Lion has a few new peculiarities beyon those of 10.7.4

Thank you very much for this post and contribution.

What do you mean "it's gone"?

Audio never works OOB in hackintosh, you need to install kext.

Done and ready to ROCK!!!!!

I'm going to take some time now to read topics on the forum,

want to gather more knowledge, though I'm very very pleased for now.

ThanX M8

I copied the image to usb using win32diskimager (I'm using windows 8 release preview, so imagewriter doesn't work for me ), and checked the drive structure in transmac --indeed, it displays a HFS+ volume with files on it. BUT, when I try to start it on my fujitsu lifebook e782, the screen just blinks, and goes back to the boot device prompt. How can I fix this?

[Cassio]

Probably this win32diskimager doesn't copy the MBR and superblock, so the drive is not bootable.

If you really can't use ImageWriter, try dd for Windows

You can also burn HackBoot to a rewritable CD http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1616

Thanks, I will try it

[solomondaniel]

hi m wrote .raw file to usb but when i m bootng system from usb its getting stuck m using asus i7 8gb ram system please help i relly want to install this software

[artur-pt]

hello

post u hardware configs

cpu

mobo

graphics card

and is stuck where

in chameleon prompt type

-v

and post photo of the problem

good hack

[raziiq]

Hey Guys.

What should be the format of USB pen drive to which the .raw file is going to be copied? I mean should it be FAT/NTFS or Mac OS Journaled or HFS+ ??

[Cassio]

The format doesn't matter, ImageWriter will copy raw data to the pen drive, it will become HFS+ no matter which format it was before.

[nooberbrown]

Great guide, but unfortaunely I'm getting stuck, I select the USB drive in chameleon, type -v and after a long scrolling of text, a light grey screen appears w/ my cursor but nothing else. Nothing happens then

Attached is a picture of chameleon output right before it gets to the grey screen, any help appreciated.

[Cassio]

Try typing GraphicsEnabler=no -x at Chameleon screen.

If you still get same result, try removing video kexts from USB, use TransMac (see first post).

Wow, thank you for the quick response. I've tried the 1st, but get the same result. I do have a mac w/ 10.8, so I can open the USB there. Which ktext(s) do you think I should remove from /System/Library/Extensions?

[Cassio]

Remove ATI*

Boot with -f

[nooberbrown]

Remove ATI*

Boot with -f

 

Done and done, the "AGPMController Unkown platform" error is now gone, but I don't even get to the light grey screen anymore, it just hangs at the chameleon output after the last line (see prev picture). Sigh, there goes the dream.

I wonder if it's something to do w/ my MSI motherboard...though there *are* working 10.6 and 10.7 installs on it (http://legacy.tonycrapx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=27591).

Edit: trying to restart w/ restart button, the system actually responds and prints a kernel panic (?). "Error 4 trying to transition CPU 1 to off".

[Cassio]

Did you remove all ATI kexts?

Try removing Intel HD kexts as well.

AppleIntelHD*

AppleIntelSNB*

Yes I did. Also removed all files you listed above, booted w/ -f. Same output, hangs after last line "[iOBluetoothHCIController]". You don't think it has anything to do with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, since that error seems to always be present or the "unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist"?

[Cassio]

I don't think so, because the installer has AICPM disabler.

I believe it's a graphics problem, should boot after removing video kexts. Do you see Chameleon loading each kext individually after using -f?

[nooberbrown]

It's hard to tell because it scrolls so fast, but something def. changed after I deleted the ATI* ktexts and booted with -f, since one line of output disappeared. Really odd. I've tried -x, pciroot=1, GraphicsEnabler=no but noting seems to do the trick. I'm up for more experimentation, but I obviously I don't expect you to live-support a newb like me

[Cassio]

Type Wait=yes -f -v and confirm that mkext (/S/L/C) is not being used (you should see a big list of kexts loading before booting kernel).
