Just wanted to say that while it is not a FireWire 800 card, the "ALI M5271 FireWire 1394 / USB 2.0" PCI card works flawlessly with my Mavericks install. http://www.cwc-group.com/m5271.html Provides 2 x USB ports for external devices Provides 2 x Firewire IEEE 1394 ports for external...

got a feeling the board will be filled with people confirming different hardware works or does not work once Mavericks is released. Will the buyer's guide have confirmations for the different Amazon-linked hardware as the confirms come in? I have been wanting to build a hackintosh/customac for...

Not sure exactly where to ask this, but it is interesting. When I first started working on my Hackintosh, i did it all on the final system that would be running MacOS X, that being my Core i3 PC, and had so much trouble getting it working right. A nice day and a half of frustration. Then I...

Its not a G5 tower case, but you did say G5 or not. :) My home theater area isn't all that good for photos at this time, since I am still in the process of working on the system, but here is a NewEgg photo of the case.

While the Lion USB boots up fine (as per instructions for UniBeast, installing Lion on top of a fully upgraded and hackintosh'd Snow Leopard (booting either via pre-installed Chameleon or via the UniBeast USB) results in panics. GOing to attempt to do a clean Lion install now to see if that...

Success! I now have a fully working install of MacOS 10.6.x, with full updates and all, on my PC. I made sure to make drive image on my iMac just in case there were any issues, which there were, but just 15 minutes later i would have the old, stable copy blasted onto the hard drive and was...

i did some more searching and discovered that I did not have the latest version of my motherboards BIOS. The latest version is 1606, and the only DSDT file available for my motherboard was for 1606. I flashed the BIOS, a the crowd cheered when it was successful. Going to see if I can get the...

I turned off both ACPI options, and it then gives me a bunch of Backtrace errors for CPU Power Management. So I guess I need at least one of the ACPI options turned on

K, so here is the progress, or lack there of, that I have made. I was able to get the MacOS X Snow Leopard Installer to run on the above listed PC hardware, and do the roughly half hour install of Snow Leopard. However, the install actually took about 2 hours (even though the progress bar...

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. I now have MacOS X Snow Leopard installing onto my PC. Fingers crossed that it works Now i just need to figure out the easiest way to upgrade it to Lion (i figured i'd do Snow Leopard first since I already had the disc for it handy). I DO own the...

Update Not sure how I got it to panic, but now i am stuck at the following screen for the past 5-10 minutes.

i have tried it now, after figuring out my error confusing AHCI and ACPI. Using -v -x pcirootuid=1 i can get it to boot up until it appears to have a kernel panic, and the final message says something about system uptime in nanoseconds. i'll try it again and will be sure to get a screenshot of...

Ignore the original question in this post, I was a fool and got my acronyms confused. ACPI and AHCI are two completely different settings. LOL Continue past for more... Here are the specs of my system first off... Mobo: ASUS P7H55/USB3 LGA 1156 Intel H55 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard CPU...
