I am trying to get OSX (the Macintosh operating system) running on my PC. This made more difficult by a few facts. First having a nVidia chipset rather than an Intel chipset. The bigger issue is that I have an AMD processor rather than an Intel processor. While AMD is Intel compatible, it makes for certain issues trying to run OSX.
I did get the DVD to load to the Install screen, but it isn’t detecting the hard drive (I disconnect my Windows hard drive and am trying to use an older HD, which in theory should work… though that drive is doesn’t seem to function all the time anyhow which is one of the reasons Windows doesn’t know it’s there…) The problem seems to be the placement of the jumper. If I put the jumper on Cable Select, the computer itself finds the hard drive as the IDE Master, but if I put the jumper on Master, the computer doesn’t see the HD at all. Very odd. Unfortunately the jumper itself has to be on Master, not Cable Select for the Hackintosh to recognize it is there and proceed with the install. I think once I get past that point the only issues to work out will be audio (most Hackintosh systems seem to have audio issues) and LAN (another thing that commonly fail in a Hackintosh).
All this will be good and well until that dream day when I could have a Mac Pro… and a native Windows PC since I still like gaming… then again if I move all my gaming to an XBox 360 (cough… hint…) then I could use BootStrap to run the few Windows games that would be left that I would want to play still… generally casual games since the big titles come out for the Mac… if not as good looking on the Mac…
Of course to go with a Mac Pro (not the Mac Book Pro since there are issues with the nVidia mobile graphics chips… an issue nVidia refuses to admit to, but seems every c0mputer vendor has narrowed the problem to nVidia’s graphic chips).

EDIT: Success on the second attempt (would have had it on the first had I bothered to look at the customize install options). Sound is working out of the box, but I don’t have LAN (therefore no Internet yet). I’ll have to find where XCode is at on the disk so I can install that as well (didn’t see that in the options off hand). So I am basically able to run 10.5.2. Now if the Kalyway team will just make a 10.5.3 I would be a little more set. Anyhow, Internet may be gone soon, so I may not be able to give any updates for a while…
EDIT 2: I got the Internet working on it using the forcedeth.kext. I updated everything using Zephyroth’s ASU, except OS X itself. When I tried that one, the system locks up during boot with a “Mac Framework successfully initialized using 5242 bugger headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers.” Which probably means re-installing from scratch… :(
