Hi guys,

this is my first post, and I'm new to the hackintosh 'world'.
Using unibeast, multibeast and the excellent information on tonymac I managed to install mountain lion on my desktop computer (Intel Z68 board, i7, Radeon HD4850 (triple monitor setup working like a charm)) and my notebook Dell XPS 15 (L502X) with BIOS rev. A09.

Everything is working on my note, wifi, full hd scree, trackpad, battery, sleep, etc. Everything but my bootloader.

I've read a lot of forum posts and tried chameleon (several versions), champlist, chimera (1.11.1) but I couldn't make it work. For several days now I'm using a pendrive with unibeast to boot my installation.

My HD is partitioned this way:
Code:
localhost:~ andre$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX                     100.4 GB   disk0s2
   3:                  Apple_HFS Dados                   399.3 GB   disk0s3

The 'EFI' partition was created by champlist when I tried to install chameleon on disk0s1 (I told you, I've tried lots of things :) ).
Unfortunately, nothing worked.

Can you guys tell me what I should do to install a bootloader ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, it's not my primary language.
 
what did you do to get osx on your dell xps L502x? I have the same laptop and I want to install lion/mountain-lion on it
