Does anyone /hackintosh/ in here? I'm at my wit's end

>not just getting a macbook
literally why? may as well get a distro on that

>>55655859
I do have a macbook but I got this little desktop for $15 and thought it would be a fun project. So far, it hasn't been so much fun.

Enjoy your overpriced shit.

Your best bet at hackintoshing is to purpose build a pc for OSX. Very few prebuilt PCs will be able to boot OSX without needing custom kexts made for every single piece of hardware.

Nice. But yeah, Hackintosh is notorious for being hard to set up. There are many anons here who have figured out all of its quirks so I'm sure you'll get something today

the fuck is this?

Post specs of the system

Have you checked on the tonymacx86 forums? Someone has probably posted somthing to do with your computer.

I don't really know much about your hardware, but a general troubleshooting step to take when OS X isn't booting would be to disconnect all hardware except the hard drive you are installing OS X on to, and then try and boot. Also, have you ensured that your bios is configured exactly the way the guides on tonymacx86 say?

I had the same issue trying to install it on my G3258 build. I had to change the CPU id in the Clover boot settings before I could get it booting past that point. There should be some forum posts + wiki info about which flags mean what and which versions of OS X support them.

However on my 4770k + ASUS Z87-Pro build I managed to install El Capitan without any issue. I think I ran into less issues with installing OS X on that computer than I ever did when installing Windows or Linux.

The closest thing was that someone did a Mountain lion install on a 580. He left really, really unclear instructions, and I'm not sure the same fixes apply to this new OS

How do you change the CPU ID, and what did you change it to?

I don't recall exactly what I changed it to, you might need to do some research on your particular hardware. I was a bit incorrect saying I changed it in Clover, it was the config.plist file where I change it, which can be found in the UEFI partition of your bootable medium if you are using Unibeast.

This wiki entry should have the various FakeCPUIDs and what generation they are related to.

Just get a fucking Mac if you want Mac os, quit wasting your time with this bullshit

If the last thing you see is about Bluetooth, there's a good chance your graphics card is at fault. Its the first thing to load after Bluetooth.

Check if you need some special flags in Clover for your card.

That's what I was hearing too, from the tonymacx86 threads. I'll do more research into it, thanks.

Hackintoshing honestly isn't that hard anymore. Whilst I did admittedly build my machine with hackintoshing in mind in my case I can pretty much just boot into stock OS X without any issues.
