Just curious, what makes you think Snow Leopard is more stable than Lion? I haven't used Snow Leopard in almost a year now, so I can't even recall how it differed from Lion...other than that silly lack of resize handles anywhere on a GUI window. But that's just one of the few things I remember...

Any update on your progress Chundernugget? I watched his installation attempts remotely for over an hour the other day, and he was doing everything correctly. He even re-downloaded Lion from the App Store, just to make sure his first download hadn't been corrupted. But no matter what he tried...

It might be helpful if you post your complete system specs, including CPU type and frequency, video card brand and model, and also list any other devices in the system. TB

Yes, I wish TonyMac would put a big SAMPLE across that picture in the UniBeast/MultiBeast tutorial, lol. I can't tell you how many people I've met in that chat room who have had similar problems after checking every box shown in that image. There are a couple other audio kexts floating around...

Any indication as to what is causing the KP? Have you tried a verbose boot to see where things might have gone wrong? TB

Just spit-balling it here, but did you happen to turn off USB3 support in the BIOS during your OS X install...and haven't turned it back on yet? TB

According to the system requirements listed by Apple for their OS X Lion Operating System, your Celeron isn't going to work. At the very least, you will need a Core 2 Duo CPU. Check this out: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html So unless you have specific knowledge of someone who has gotten...

What happens when you just do a verbose boot, with -v? Do you see any sort of text scrolling on the screen? Maybe sure you BIOS is properly configured of course (SATA devices to AHCI, HPET enabled at 64-bit if possible, ACPI state S3), and then make sure your BIOS detects you Lion USB stick in...

You can check out this video, for starters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDw3RhLWAjE While the command line work there is done after booting into single-user mode, the concept is exactly the same. You can simply open the Terminal program in OS X, and gain access to those files this way. The...

Try boot in verbose mode by typing -v at the boot loader menu. This will show you a series of scrolling lines down the screen. When the process hangs, take a picture(s) of the last several lines of the output and post them here. You might need to try -x -v to get the system to give you some sort...

Are you familiar with the Terminal at all? You can easily save a backup of the kexts that way. TB

1) HPET to 'enabled' and 64-bit 2) ACPI state to S3 3) Disable USB3 and firewire during the installation 4) Make sure your USB Lion installer is recognized by the BIOS when it's in a usb2 slot (look in the list of hard drives in the "Advanced BIOS Features" page) Some folks here have also...

I put a 120gb Vertex 3 OCZ drive into my recent build...and it worked fine, OOB. I also installed a 90gb Agility 3 OCZ drive for Linux. Neither drive gave me any problems whatsoever on the installation. I put the 120gb drive in SATA3_0, and the other one in SATA0_1. I installed a Seagate 1TB...

Original manual (attachment) assembled from the information in StringRay's link, organized and roughly formatted. More kernel flags to follow, with a brief background and some usage explanations. TB

Have you tried opening the Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) and checking if there is any abnormal activity that appears there? I've read a thread or two mentioning this in the past, but don't recall seeing a cause determined. TB

Given this is your third go at a Hackintosh, I presume you've correctly configured your BIOS? How about booting in verbose mode, and posting a picture of the output when the boot fails... TB

Cool! Happy to hear that you are getting closer to a stable system! TB

You might want to post your system specifications in greater detail, so people don't have to go dig them up to offer help. For instance, what is the exact processor you have? How about the motherboard? Are these things reported on the manufacturer's site for your machine? Also, there are...

Re: Installing from DMG and bootable USB Stick ? When you get to the boot loader screen, hit the space bar. A small command line bar will appear, and you can enter test. Type -v to boot in verbose mode, and press Enter. At least this will give you an idea of what is causing your system to hang...

Run MultiBeast and you can install Chimera from there. Be sure to read the description found on the bottom of the interface, as it will tell you what is going to be installed (or changed) for each step. If your motherboard had a DSDT file in the database here on the site, then you can select the...
