Hey guys-
First post, first install, first issue..
I have an old gateway laptop I want to install Yosemite on. I have a Hackintosh tower a friend built me that I love, so I was hoping to get the notebook working too. I followed the install guide here on TonyMac, and created a USB. I can plug the USB in to the gateway, switch to boot from usb, and exit. The boot screen will come up asking where to boot, I choose USB and it kicks over to the apple loading screen. This is where problems arise. The loading screen will get to about 20%, then shut off and go to a blank, backlit black screen. It will not respond to anything from there except power cycle and start over. I have left it at this screen for about 40 minutes on one try, and nothing changes...
Any help would be appreciated, and please be gentle! I'm a rookie!
