Ulincsys 2 Posted May 13, 2014 That's a kernel panic, re-installing with a different kernel would be my best guess. And, I successfully installed Mavericks on my Dell optiplex 330, the USB version worked for me. What trouble did you have with it? (EDIT): Although, when I look at it, it looks like your configuration is incorrect. did you take the steps to configure your bios/bootloader? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navee28 0 Posted May 13, 2014 @john kieran With the bios in my laptop, all i was able to do was change to AHCI! nothing else was available Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulincsys 2 Posted May 13, 2014 @navee28 What is your laptop make and model, there is a chance that ACHI is all you will need. Now, which distro did you try: if you tried one that is incompatible with your laptop, we may be able to point you in the right direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navee28 0 Posted May 13, 2014 My laptop is Acer 5920 Intel core 2 duuo T5750 @2.00 Ghz processor 2gb ram Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset 120Gb Sata hdd Can u get me a tutorial? Distro? i Dont know! all i did was downloaded Niresh Mountain lion, wrote it onto a cd and installed it! @john kieran Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulincsys 2 Posted May 13, 2014 @navee28 Your processor meets the minimum (dang near bottom line) requirements for this distro, however, Niresh's ML is not as good as his Mavericks. If you are stuck on Mountain Lion, I would go with Iatkos ML2. That being said, you could also try (Hackintosh Mavericks). The USB version of Mavericks is actually a more stable distro. If you need any more help, i'll make a tutorial for you. @ If I make a tutorial, can I link it from YouTube to this post? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulincsys 2 Posted May 13, 2014 @navee28 Did you use the ISO version or the USB version, there is a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

navee28 0 Posted May 13, 2014 @john kieranOH. then its the usb version! it booted and comes till apple logo. then freezes! i ll link u to the post i made earlier regarding that! https://www.hackintoshzone.com/topic/2649-stuck-at-apple-logo/#entry12165 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulincsys 2 Posted May 13, 2014 @navee28 If you use the ISO version with a USB then it would still get to the apple logo, it just uses a different driver set. I would try installing this- -https://www.hackintoshzone.com/files/file/75-niresh-mavericks/ In the mean time, I would use Ubuntu as a secondary OS, it's good for the in-between stages from Windows to Mac OS X.
