Hello Fellow hackintoshers
recently acquired a computer from work in decent shape and wanted to attempt OS x on it. HW is as follows:
HP Compaq DC5800 SFF
Intel Core 2 Duo
4 gb ddr2 Ram
750gb SATA
NO ahci mode in bios (even with mo recent firmware update)
Now I got past the ahci problem simply by connecting the drive to a sata to usb dock. The Mountain Lion Unibeast i created booted just fine into the installer, and I was able to format the drive and install it that way. The installer finishes successfully and I reboot.
Here's the tricky part
I have YET to successfuly boot post-installation. Even with all boot flags accounted for, I still get a "no-go" symbol above the apple logo after a minute or 2 at the boot. I was wondering if there was anything I could try to get this thing off the ground. I still have hope because the installer booted without issue. Any Pointers? Should I try Snow Leopard first??
