Mac OSX Install help

[Sandman007]

Hey guys Ii am trying to create a hackintosh. Has anyone done this on a G46vw? I am trying to install iATKOS ML3U which is supposed to work with UEFI and I-5 cpus and Intel HD graphics cards. I Ican not however get it installed. I got to the install screen once and installed it. However I could not boot into it. I guess my Clover bootloader didnt install. So I tried to boot back into the install usb to reinstal but now I cant. Can anybody help. Anyone know a method or a distro that works on this laptop? I have been trying different methods for over a week. Thanks.

Ok I got it to install and it says it installed a UEFI bootloader. So i rebooted and i get nothing. goes straight to BIOS. It doesn't see my hard drive. So I used a bootloader i have installed to a usb and when i try to get it to boot OSX it displays a bunch of code and at te end I get "unknown CPU" then "CPU Panic".

CPU panic in OSX means that there's something wrong with the Kernel.

Install Linux, you won't have as much trouble 😉

Oh I do run Linux :P. I was actually setting up a quadruple boot. I wanna load OSX cuz I figured since I am in tech support I might as weel learn the OS.

Fair point, though it is a violation of the EULA of OS X to do so, if memory serves. I still don't quite understand how they can require that. Saying they won't debug on non-Mac hardware would be fine (their software+their hardware), but saying you aren't allowed to install it on something else is another matter all together.

You can give up installing OSX if you can't even make it boot.

After you've booted then you'll have to do some crazy **** and since the CPU will not be at max and the GPU won't even have acceleration.

So all in all it is not worth it.

Except your laptop has a intel HD 4000
Then it might be worth it.

Maybe someone can chime in who has a G46 who has tried this

OSX has been tried on G75VW and VX but since the GPU acceleration doesn't work and a lot of stuff has to be done.
So it's sad.

So to try it. You will have to find a similar spec'ed laptop and find out how they booted it.
Then you can start with the hard part and frustrating part.
