Asus P9X79 Pro - i7 3820 - Installation Problem
Hi, I was looking for a hackintosh to install Snow Leopard.
After some weeks of research, I decide to get this specs:
- Asus P9X79 Pro
- Intel i7 3820
- Sapphire Radeon HD6450
- 2x8gb (G.Skill Ripjaws X)
I´ve made an OS X 10.6 USB stick (I have a Snow Leopard DVD, but it´s very scratched, it is no more readable).
I-Boot boot and show the "Mac OS X Install" drive, but I can´t reach the installing window. It freezes in the beginning.
I´ve testing with GraphicsEnabler=No, PCIRootUID=1 or 0, -x, -v, and all the possible combinations, but nothing (goes some seconds further comparing with no flags, but it freezes anyway).
I try with an Nvidia 9500 GT, and nothing (I have already an GT640 if it helps).
I try with an SATA 3.0 (1.5 TB), or SATA 1.5 (250 GB) and nothing.
I try with only one 8gb stick and with two (I have not an 4gb stick to test)
I try to change the USB port for the USB stick
I try to change the SATA port 3 & 4 (ports 1 & 2 are for SATA 6.0, and I try in one of them too)
I try with cpus=1 flag... (I see it on a thread with similar system, that works with that) but still not working.
I attach an image of the freezing screen.
I have made other 6 hackintoshes since 2010, but I consider myself a noobie with a lot of persistance. Every time I need to build a new one I need to learn again new techniques... but this time, the advance of technology doesn´t help when you need to install an older OS... and this time I don´t know what else to do.
Can some one help me please?
I will apreciate a lot.
PS: Sorry for my english!
