Hi,
I'm a newbie in the world of mac and hackintosh. I'm from Brazil and my english is not good.
I have a Linux Mint 18.1 installed on my desktop in a 240Gb SSD. Is it possible to install mac osx sierra alongside Mint in another SSD (120Gb)?
If it is possible, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance
 
If you installed Linux as UEFI then you will need to install OSX in UEFI.

If you installed Linux in Legacy BIOS CSM mode then you will probably need to install OSX with a UniBeast Legacy bootloader.

Why? If not, then either GRUB won't boot OSX or Clover will not be able to boot Linux.

If you installed Linux in Legacy mode you will probably need to use the boot keyboard function key to select which drive to boot.

It is alway best to install different OSes on their own separate drives.

Hi Kiiroaka,
thank's for the response, tips, and links!!!
My Mint is installed on a UEFI Bios.
I'll try to install macOS Sierra and then I'll go back here to tell whether all went alright or not, ok?
Thanks again for the help.
 
Hello,
(Please, be kind with me. I a completly newbie!)
I successfully installed, Mac OS Sierra on my pc, everything works fine except for the screen. CLOVER has recognize my Linux Mint and I can boot on linux easily.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor and right now it runs at 1920x1200 and I can not change it higher or lower resolution.
I think intel graphics hd4600 did not recognize correctly the monitor specifications, is it correct?

My monitor is a QNIX QX2710LED 27 inch with a maximum resolution of 2560x1440 with HDMI and DVI inputs.

My motherboard is an MSI Z97I AC with:
- 1 x DVI-I port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, 24bpp
- 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 @ 24Hz, 24bpp / 2560X1600 @ 60hz, 24bpp
- 1 x displayport, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 @ 24Hz, 24bpp / 3840x2160 @ 60hz, 24bpp

I have 3 config.plist files in different folders but I do not know how is the correct one to verify the screen configuration.
So I attached the 3.

Please, help me!
Thanks in advance!
