I'm in the same boat, I have a PowerEdge 840 tower that I really want to use as an OS X workstation. It's a quad-core with 8 gigs of ram...

I'll try to keep posting back here with my progress. Let me know if you've had any success since the 3/8.

Hello Bluehero,

till now no success at all. So if I cannot find anyone who can give me a tip I am about to give up ...

Thanks for the response. In the end I gave up due to the lack of PCI-E slot.

The onboard ATI video card is unsupported, and adding a PCI video card is expensive. Even though the 840 is a beast, it's just not well suited to being a hackintosh. You might be able to use it as an OSX Server but it's not going to make a great workstation due to many unsupported parts.

Hey,

Have you tried disabling the Native SATA support from the BIOS (You might have it under a different name in your BIOS). I had the same issue and it moved further after I disabled that. Although I am stuck on another issue now.

Cheers,
