Hi Guys,
I apologies in advance if I have posted this in the wrong section.
I am new to hackintoshing and am currently undergoing my first project.
I am struggling to install OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 while following the "Simplest Mac OS X Installation Guide". I succeed in getting iBoot to load up at startup, however, when I select the option to install Mac OS X, the machine immediately hangs and does not initiate the install.
I have double checked my BIOS settings:
I do own a genuine copy of OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 which I am using as the install DVD.
This is the screen I get on iBoot just before initiating the install:
I have typed the following just before initiating install:
If I do not initiate the install in verbose mode, my PC hangs on the following screen:
And if I do initiate the install in verbose mode, the PC starts generating lines of text of the data it is reading from the DVD and then eventually hangs on this screen:
I am at a loss at what it is I am doing wrong here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
My PC specs are listed as my main system on my profile.
Thanks in advance!
