Hello,

today I decided to install 10.8.2 on my PC, bcause it runs perfectly on my macbok pro late 2009 (Vers. 5.5).

PC Specs:

Ati 6570
Asus P8H67-i with intel HD3000 or so...
i5-2500t
8GB Ram
External Soundcard Creative Surround 5.1


- At First installation cannot start with ATI (this fact is mentioned in the guide, so I activate internal Intel HD grafic)
- installation started and I could setup my system
- all is fine and I boot from USB to OSX

with intel HD grafic I only can boot with "-x". I fixed that with booting via ATI6570
so, I can now boot perfectly with USB bootloader (Unibeast)

- now I installed Network only (but works before)
- and I installed bootloader chimera

1. problem: if I boot via HDD (chimera, theme cameleon or theme tonymacx86) i always get this screen: http://www.pic-upload.de/view-17668493/DSCF2231.jpg.html
I tried to solve via "-s" but the system stops at the point: "system uptime in nano...." and than nothing or reboot


Please, what can I do, to fix my problem.

regards,
Shanny
 
Thanks for your fast answer.

OK I understand, that I have to update Bios, but is it neccassary to reinstall OSX?

I do not find drivers for my ATI. Currently it runs fluently.

/Edit:
Ok i updatet and now OSX does not start, so I will reinstall

/Edit2:
Startup slow down extremely I cannot startup with HDD. With USB bootloader I got the same failure as I uploaded before.
I see the Apple logo and the little rotation status, but than nothing happens. It rotates and rotates...

I installed: Audio (voodoo newest Version), Network and bootloader.
With reference to Voodoo, it is the only version which lets me hear normal sound. So maybe I have to use my external solution (creative...)
 
1, After flashing the BIOS with the modded BIOS rom you need to change some basic BIOS settings for hackintosh.
Graphics - IGPU (onboard HD3000) or PCI (GPU)
Graphics memory - 64MB
SATA - AHCI

2, For audio try this thread > http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/63663-asus-p7p55d-enable-via-vt1828s-sound-10-8-a.html

Go to System/Library/Extension and delete AppleHDA and Voodoo. Download Voodoo kext from the above link and keep it on the desktop and run kextbeast to install it. > http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=32 i

3, Remember get the system up and running using onboard HD3000 then you can install the GPU.
 
OK. I will test it later when I am home.
Bios settings are ok (I did this correct before)

My question is, why I have to install onboard grafic? I do not want to use it.
 
Again, thanks for your support.
I think it does not matther to use bootloader theme or not.

I followed your instructions using intel HD graphic, but it does not works. With usb I could boot, without usb not.

Now, I followed the instructions for 6xxx and I disabled Intel HD. I could boot normally as before with usb and GraficEnabler=No.
But here again, if I use the bootloader from ssd I only get the round rotation and than nothing.
With usb I have sound and full working Ati graphic. Without usb I could not boot. Intel is disabled.

I do not see my mistake. I have deactivated sound, usb 3.0 and HD graphic. AHCI is enable.
Maybe I need another bootloader?


/edit:
I think you are right, that ATi is blocking the bootloader. Please, look at the last two lines of the picture:

here boot stopps.

/edit2:
Ok, I have to install FakeSMC now it boots =)
Sorry if this is essential at all
 
Last problem is, that I have no sound with my X-Fi Surround 5.1 USB =(
 
X-Fi is now working, I have 5.1 and for example DTS =)
Now I could deactivate my internal soundcard.
