I used the -v switch. 10.6.8 is freezing at the line [ PCI configuration begin ]. 10.6.7 loads as pretty as you please. What gives.

Well, I tried again and got the same results. After an hour, still sitting on white screen with Apple logo. No kernel panic, no scrolling of actions, no anything. 10.6.7 boots just fine with iBoot Legacy.What next? Wipe the hard drive and try from scratch? Give up completely? Buy a used Mac on...

Thank you much. Now to get the Boss to believe we need to replace Ol' Faithful.

Well, I got my first hackintosh up & running. I noticed my homebrew Win7 machine is now 8 years old (and still runs like a clock). So, is there a prebuilt Wintel box (HP, Dell, Acer, etc) that would make a decent hackintosh? We don't use our units as toys but as real computers doing personal &...

I had stumbled across an article on wikipedia that had links directly to Apple Support for each version of OS X / macOS. OF course I can't find it now.

Did you have any problems getting 10.6.8 to boot? I can't get past 10.6.7 because 10.6.8 hangs at the Apple screen and never loads.

Look under Apple support. I found Yosemite doing a google search that pointed to the support pages.

Per OS X it's a Mac Pro 3.1

I will check that out. It's a VGA connection.

Still stuck at 10.6.7. The unibeast method requires 10.6.8 but I can't get 10.6.8 to run. Just a blank white screen with the Apple logo. I'm all set to install Yosemite 10.10.1 but can't until I get 10.6.8 going.

Started over and got to SL 10.6.7 + Multibeast. I'm stopping there because 10.6.8 won't run. Unfortunately, on Apple's support site, all the later versions of 10.# say the require 10.6.8 first.

Right. I got 10.6.7 up and running. I want to upgrade at least to Mavericks (10.9.#) and possibly to El Capitan (10.11.#). Now the problem. When I go to the Apple site, every version after Lion requires SL 10.6.8 or later as a prerequisite. The last time I tried to install and run 10.6.8 I get...

Then perhaps the old threads should be locked? Why build a new railroad when there's already one in your front yard?

Goind Bald: Every other board rasises a stink if someone starts a new thread when one already exists on the topic.

I'm slowly getting my first hackintosh going. I have this same problem. I did run the -v option and the screen does stop at the [PCI Configuration Begin] section. How does one replace the kexts if one cannot get the box to start? 10.6.7 booted fine (as did everything back to 10.6.3). I is NOT a...
