Hi everyone I'm quite new to this 'hackintosh' thing, I tried my luck on a Packard Bell J2412 using the Iboot and Multibeast method.
I've got quite far, the sound, disk drives, usb all work fine. I installed an ATI Radeon HD 4650 and have got that working 100%.
Only two issues now...
The onboard ethernet is a Realtek 8139 and it works but with really slow performance and with a constant stream of 'RTL8139::receiverInterrupt - Rx restart' errors every second. I've tried all the different methods and kext files to try and fix the problem but to no avail. So I've disabled it in the bios and I plan to buy another card.
Any suggestions on a card that'll work pretty much straight out the box?
The other issue is the whole system runs smoothly but now and again it'll freeze/lock up and I'll have to reach for the power button! It seems random, as in I'll click something as simple as the finder in the dock and it'll beachball. Then its hard reset time. This is what I got from the console the last time it occurred:
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also just to say, this forums got some great advice on it, I wouldn't be this far with out it! Keep up the good work guys!
Cheers
