Which part specifically?

I feel like describing my whole journey so there is a lot of my own musings in this guide. If you want just the straight step-by-step guide, look at the end of each section. More will be added as I get more working. Well I got bored this weekend and decided, why not try to update the old 1525...

I'm trying to install Mavericks on my laptop, I previously had Mountain Lion fully updated on it. I can boot into the installer totally fine, without editing anything on the Unibeast USB like I had to for Mountain Lion. The issue is that the installer will randomly freeze without any errors. The...

Yes

It looks like a lot of your kexts aren't compiling correctly. Try to wipe and reinstall

What OSX version are you trying to install? This only works up to 10.8.2

Does the desktop load? Or is it freezing at the apples screen?

I don't think we are ever going to get full qe/ci working on this laptop with anything past Lion. Macbooks that are newer than our laptop did not have native support for Mountain Lion because of this exact graphics problem and they had to through together a 'hackintosh' style fix to get in...

Not with the graphics but I have gotten the system updated to 10.8.2. Look at the latest update on the first post.

I added those kexts, the ones from 10.6.2 that are 64 bit, into the zip but even with those launchpad is extremely slow. I don't know if that just me though.

Sorry about the late response, school started up so I've been busy. Was this while booting the installation USB or post installation? @tayangco there are but as this is a tonymacx86 forum I don't want to get banned by talking about them

it's pretty simple you just click the buttons. when there is commands in terminal you have to do, I typed out the exact command. All you have to do is copy and paste. But if you don't know how to do what's stated you probably shouldn't try as this won't work as your every day os.

I do not advise this to be used as an every day OS. The graphics problem I'm still having makes a lot every todays difficult to do. Once that issue has been resolved it should be almost fully functional. My USB stick is titled Installer. If you want to call yours something else just replace...

How did you get the Graphics to work? Are you using 64 bit kexts?

Ok I have Mountain Lion up and running on a second partition. It is in no way usable as an every day os. I haven't checked what all doesn't work but right now I know that I have no wifi or graphics. Yes the screen works but its just the same basic graphics as the installer so launchpad takes...

As far as I know the Mountain Lion Installer won't recognize or install to hard drives that are 6 Gb/s. But I have read posts from people who just plugged the hard drive into the SATA 3 Gb/s, installed and then switched the hard drive back.

Our laptop isn't a X3100 its GMA950 which has no method to get QE/CI working. I'm still getting suck after DSMOS has arrived and then it displays the ethernet address then freezes. It think thats because it isn't using the onboard graphics. I've tried with different boot flags -x -f and...

I have tried pretty extensively to get mountain lion running on my 1525 and I can't even get to the installer. To get past the Begin PCI Configuration you need either a lion or snow leopard IOPCIFamily.kext which are 64 bit so you're fine there. Then I would get a Kernel Panic because of the...
