I have a P7P55D pro and an ATI Radeon 5770.
I'm using this guide:
tonymacx86's P55 Hackintosh Blog: Install OS X Snow Leopard Directly from Retail DVD Using Chameleon Boot CD for P55 Motherboards
After I get to the chameleon screen, put in the mac OSX install disk, and try to boot, it crashes(I've tried -x and -v), makes my GPU fan go very fast, and the info light by my RAM goes red. So, what's going on here?
Should I do a different tutorial maybe?
Is that guide particularly for your very system hardware?Quote:

Oh, I just saw in the trouble shooting section "ATI 5XXX series cards currently are unsupported- cannot be enabled."
So, my graphics card can't become a hackintosh?
Maybe not yet, hopefully.Quote:

So just to clarify, it's the ATI HD5xxx cards causing this issue?
I've tried iDeneb and iATKOS V5i and had the same issue for both distro's.
Rig follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7 860
RAM: OCZ 4GB DDR3-1600MHz
M/B: Asus P7P55D-LE
GPU: XFX HD 5850 1GB
I'm running RAID for my Windows install, but I was disabling RAID and making it AHCI.
The HDD I was wanting to install on is a 250GB IDE HDD.
May have other issues as well. Unsupported cards just mean there are no drivers/kexts for them for full QE/CI.
