Another Sample Method of Installation

iPC OSx86 Final Universal (PPF5) of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6

Posted by: WinkTinkler

After many attempts, installs, and hundreds of hours of testing distributions with varying degrees of success, I finally have an installed Hackintosh system which is reliable, and stable.

This posting describes a method and approach to installation which is repeatable, upgradeable and simple to install and maintain. It is my hope to help others who are trying to experience the Mac world on an Intel PC platform, evaluate its simplicity, and perhaps decide to make the plunge, and actually buy a Mac in the future.

This post is divided in 5 sections:
  1. My Hardware (nForce 730i motherboard, with external e-GeForce 8500 GT 1GB)
  2. My BIOS Settings
  3. My iPC DVD Distro Settings-Choices
  4. Post Install Configuration
  5. Tips & Tricks
Due to the length of the post, I opted to describe to entire procedure in a PDF document, you can download HERE.

Hello winktinkler

i have the same chipset than you but an msi one. Well, i followed your indications to install mac, and everything works great including the audio.
BUT (i hate to say it) i can´t boot without the cpus=1 flag, when i go into system profiler an also cpu-x it shows 1 core and 4 threads (i have Intel core 2 quad 9550), i tried override the DSDT removing the aliases and patching it all, but i still with the problem. i know you have a quad core too, then i ask you if you can use your 4 cores? cpu-x tells you 4 cores? did you do something that helped you to use all your cores?
im a kind of desperate heheh

Thnaks in advance!!
