Actually I'm going to give this a try. I've been having some graphics freeze erros on 9.0 when I start adding plugins.. I know it's not my RAM bc I have 6GB of it.

Last year I finally got some money to upgrade my PC and I wanted to tailor it for audio production. I went on the AVID (Pro Tools) forum to get some advice and it just so happened that the components they recommended were also very well suited to make a Hackintosh. At the time though I didn't...

You should post what kext and how you did it, for the other guys who have no idea what they are doing!

Bump for the noobs

Well it looks like my grueling two weeks of getting my graphics card to work was worth it, because it gave me some intuition into getting my wireless card to work. After doing some research, I found out that the wireless card brand wasn't necessarily the determining factor about if it will work...

I'm running 32 bit. Is that because of the retail disk I used? I mean I don't HAVE to have 64 bit, but if it's an easy fix I'm all over it.

What decides the kernel I'm running? The DSDT I downloaded? My processor?

I'm trying to extract the IO80211Family.kext from the 10.4.5. update file so I can get my Atheros 5212 chipset PCI wireless adapter working. The Apple site has the page to download it but when I click on it I get redirected to another page. Any help??

Figured out the problem. I was checking the 64 bit boot screen option in multibeast, and apparently that makes my video card not work. I chose 32 bit GE=Y and now its fine. I originally was following Lnx2Macs tutorial, and the way I read it was that if you use a DSDT then you should check 64 bit...

Ok, so I've spent the last two weeks learning a new language, OSx86, and I'm still far from fluent, but I have learned a valuable lesson today about graphics. First I want to say that the iboot + multibeast method is fairly straightforward, but be careful of the options you check in...

Yeah I may end up going there. Actually, my original card was a Radeon 4550, but apparently there's no support at all for that card. It's just that with both of those cards I've tried, the only thing that showed any sign of progress was adding a EFI string, which gave me the 64 bit boot screen...

Ok more crap. I tried to force resolution, no dice. I tried adding EFI string, and I now get a different apple boot screen. I'm assuming its the 64 bit screen, but I've checked that option in multibeast and never looked like that. I returned the 8400 gs card and picked up yet ANOTHER card...

I tried forcing the resolution with the last card and it didnt work. I haven't tested Qe/ci at all yet because I was so pissed that I couldnt even get a resolution. I'll try it with this card, but i think youre right about the card; it seems that this specific device id is not working well with...

I've been researching this site for weeks trying to get my resolution to change on OSX but am not having success. I'm on my second vid card right now, this is getting old. I started with a 8400 GS from Gigabyte, a new shared memory version, which I now know can cause problems as it is. I went...
