Sierra works fine but you must use clover. The same issues that applied to Yosemite also apply to Sierra although it does seem to be a little faster. I think that trial and error of the various kexts for the problem areas will make it a reasonably stable machine. I am still going through...

Just to add, I'm now running Sierra on this laptop. There aren't many problems with it and it is much faster than Yosemite was. Ill start a new post with the details when I get everything I need sorted.

I didn't even get a chance to install Sierra. It would just panic ⅔ through booting into the installer. In the end I've sacrificed the GTX260 and lashed out $40 on a GT710 to see what would happen. Works marvellously. Now to wait for drivers for the newer cards that have more grunt.

I am having the same trouble. Using a Unibeast7 USB and the installer KP's at nvidia startup like yours. It must be something with Sierra(?) because I can boot into El Capitan with the same boot drive (I did get lower res graphics but I didn't try to see if I could fix that problem). I can...

Did you read the list issues and possible solutions? It's the very first page. There might be a solution to your panic...Section 3...Kernel panic or other reboot loop...second paragraph. Stands out like a sore thumb.

"Clover doesn't boot, BIOS shows Boot1: /boot then on a new line 5" I have a gigabyte p67a-ud3r-b3 board and I get this on boot but it continues to Clover without issue. In other news, ...I had to delete Appleintelcpupowermanagement from S/L/E to get my system to boot, cpus=1 would not...

My motherboard won't boot with a flash drive so I needed to partition a HDD. Saying 8gb or larger leaves you with options whether its a usb flash drive or HDD. I took that option (50gb, i thought the space would be handy for other files I may need to install at post or at a later date, Java for...

What isn't made clear is that there is a cutoff size for the USB, above 32gb and you don't get anywhere, in my experience and dougdirac also it would appear.

I have just installed Mavericks on this laptop but my graphics card is the 4000. I had all the issues you have stated while trying to install. I noticed a comment in the unibeast install of Mavericks for desktops suggesting to add a DSDT to the extras folder on the unibeast drive. I tried that...

For people having trouble with a black screen after the Unibeast boot screen and then the monitor going to sleep, try adding a DSDT to your extras folder on the Unibeast drive. You will need to "show all files" (there are apps available) to see the folder to be able to add it. I have just had...

Now this is worth another donation. Best update yet. Startup is almost instant after the Apple Logo screen. Sleep sleeps. Didn't have to reinstall sound after the 10.8.3 update. I am impressed. Everything works, except I get an improper disc ejection message after returning from sleep but only...

Well doing a bit of research, it appears Vmware and Parallels both support drag and drop. I use virtualbox which doesn't (yet). It looks like I might be moving to a payed for program. I have no issues with the way I transfer files now between the two (networked drive/folder) but it is slower...

Jeffco I can't get anything meaningful from your youtube link, but the one I saw was most likely networked between two independent machines. I use a virtual machine and have been unable to drag and drop files between the two operating systems. I'm happy to be proved wrong, it would be a welcome...

As a beginner, I would install your hackintosh on to a separate hard drive. I would disconnect the windows hard drive while installing OSX so as not to corrupt it. That way you can play around and figure out the bugs without the worry of destroying your original windows disc. Dual booting is...

Is there an issue with Chimera/chameleon. I have 6 partitions and it doesn't show the last partition.
