I want to preface this by saying I'm a newbie in the Hackintosh scene so I have very little experience with debugging, complicated installs, etc. I had a hackintosh in the past, but I tried to pick hardware with minimal setup that just worked. Ideally I'd like to do something similar now -...

lieder1987 - Do you recall what you used to get everything running? I managed to get Yosemite installed once, but then was an idiot and screwed up the install.. so now I'm back to trying to get it installed and I keep getting freezes during install. Any help on flags you used with unibeast would...

Cliff - This thread never got antialiasing or pretty much any games working. Basically it isn't fully supported according to that thread. Wasn't sure if there was an update on this but so far no luck.

I am looking at this video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127545 Does anyone know if the mini display ports work well in Lion and what resolution they will push? Would they be able to either support an apple 27" display (2560x1440 res i think) or the dell 3007wfp...

This is how I picked out the mobo. I was trying to avoid buying a video card but I may end up buying one just to simplify things.

99% sure this was a video card issue with my 6950. I used my 4870 and got past this pretty easily with a new install.

so i got a z68 and an i5 and everything went great. i installed my old 4870 x2 since i couldnt get my 6950 to work at all. Does anyone have a suggestions for how to get the 6950 to work in lion? Also, if I boot my 4870 with only one monitor plugged in it works fine. I can even plug in my 30"...

My hardware: Mobo: GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 4g ram (2x2gb) ATI 6950 video card I installed the OS with unibeast, but now when I boot into the lion install (with the usb stick) all I get is a blank/grayish/whitish screen and I have a mouse cursor that I can move around but nothing else seems to happen...

Any ati video card? I have an ATI 4870 X2 and a 6950 so I could just use one of those if that is the case. **EDIT - added "ati" in the question.

I live near a few Fry's stores (frys.com) and was wondering if anyone had success building a hackintosh with parts offered in the store. If possible I would love to walk in and pick up the parts to build my hackintosh this weekend. If anyone wants to help me pick out parts I would appreciate it...

Decided to try to follow this guide entirely (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php ... 9&p=262564) Same issue. Install goes fine, and then hard drive doesnt show up for rboot in AHCI mode, does in IDE. =\ If it is just a hard drive i don't mind replacing that. Or even if its only the mobo I...

Just a quick follow up - If i change everything back to IDE for sata the hard drives show up in rboot and unibeast but when i try to boot into them i get the repeating "still waiting for root device" when trying to boot into single user mode (and errors in other modes that i have tried as well)...

I am trying to install Lion on my desktop. I can get the installer to boot fine with GraphicsEnabler=No to avoid issues with my video card (6950). Bios are set with AHCI following this guide for that section: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php ... 9&p=262564 When i reboot after the...

I'll try the graphic enable (though I believe I have in the past). After that I'll redo the stick to see if it helps. Just a note - when i install with the USB stick i have AHCI mode enabled. After i reboot I have to set my bios back to IDE because the Lion drive doesn't show up when I boot...

Instead of having someone verify a certain build, can anyone attest to any of my hardware working or not working for them in a hackintosh build? I really don't know where to start in debugging what hardware might be causing me issues. I know the video card (6950) doesn't seem to have the best...
