I am trying with the iDeneb as you suggested.

My problem is that it does not even get to the successfull install part. I'm familiar with unix, though rusty.

There's a lot of garbage information out there so for a newbie like me and when trying to learn it's hard for me to figure out

A) where to begin
B) What tutorials actually apply to me
C) What info is good and bad.

I'm a Windows guy stuck trying to use a hackintosh so that I can do what I do . . . develop apps. I'm willing to put the time and the effort in, but want to make it effective, and there's nothing more frustrating sitting night after night and not making progress.

But I digress, My issues are as follows:

1) Tried a normal boot of the iDebian . . . got to the mac logo and then the PC seemed to freeze.

I notice in the boot sequence I get the following:

can't determine immediate dependencies for extension org.tgwbd.driver.ACPIPS2Nub

Jettisoning kernel linker.

Resetting IOCatalogue

Code Signing: cs_invalid_page p =41[configd] clearing CS_VALID

Extension "com.apple.driver.ApplePCIConfigurator" has immediate dependaenceies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components, use only one style.

It Enables an SS3 Emulator . . .I only have SSE2, can I somehow disable that off the imgage?

Local APIC version not 0x14 as expected.


2) I can't get to the successfull install piece so the rest is kind of moot.

The installation hangs, regardless of which Image I'm using. Some get further than others, but if there's something I can do to make this work I'm more than willing to try.

You say that I need to change my kernel extensions, but what is the HPS drive?


If there's any more info I can provide please let me know. I'm not sure what is relevant to provide and what isn't.

Furthermore, I've seen videos of people using VMware with Hackintosh's so I know it's possible. My only question is how? I've seen VMDKs with SSE3, but I need SSE2. Does anyone have a VMDK that I can use? I'm really just interested in developing.
