    Yosemite to Sierra...stuck at "Loading Operating System".

    Hey all. Long time Hackintosher here. I've been sticking with Yosemite forever simply because, well..it worked, and it worked reliably. I had an oldschool installation on my SSD using Chimera, quirky booting sometimes but once it was running, it would run for months at a time. I tried a...

    Clover conversion nightmare.

    Hey everyone. I'll try to keep it short. I have a long running Yosemite install that was working well. Decided it was time to finally upgrade to ElCap, but it seemed like switching to Clover was a prerequisite. So, that didn't go well - originally I had planned to install it to a USB...

    Jerky / laggy performance since 10.10.3 upgrade

    Performed the 10.10.3 upgrade a few days after release. Upgrade was flawless direct via the appstore upgrade process, didn't even lose audio. That said, my performance since then has been, for lack of better words, choppy or jerky. I'm getting frequent freezes that last anywhere from a...

    Will only boot with -F flag

    Greets all - after a few attempts (yay for clones!) I've successfully updated to Mavericks. I've got it to the point of booting independently of my USB install/Chameleon drive which is good, but it KP's unless I boot using the -F (Yes, *capital* F) flag, which as I understand it is causing...

    Thread Edit: Resolution issues solved somehow....but now I have black bars at the top and sides of my display - see latest responses on page 3 - any help appreciated! My hackintosh build has come along nicely and it's been a real (awesome!) leaning experience. Despite the bumps in the road...

    Uninstalling displays kexts from single user mode?

    I installed some kexts (supposedly) for my nvidia card from another site. Unfortunately, either due to an OSX version issue (likely) or some other compatibility problem, I booted up to a solid blue screen. It *seems* like OSX is booting just fine in the background (as it was before) but the...

    Reusing G5 PSU w/ATX Hackintosh build?

    Has anyone ever accomplished this? I found several search results where people mention trying (often ending in giving up) but no clear success stories. As I undertake it the stock G5 PSU is a 1000w model, at least so says the guy whom I'm buying the case from. For my build I'm thinking a...

    Thoughts on specs - share your opinions please!

    Edit: Updated hardware choices/list in my latest response! Hey everyone. New member here, but I've been lurking for months. We are an all Mac household and have been for years. The recent death of our original white Macbook has placed us down a machine in our household, and after a rather...
