Thread: Hackintosh only boot with the Iboot CD!

People, i'm in trouble here.
I've installed the Iatkos 10.6.3 v2 on my notebook. Just to manage to do that it took me a longe time, because the installation would never start, and my notebook rebooted every time i've tried. Then, i've placed the image of the disk on my pendrive and booted with Iboot, finally got it to start, installed everything (except the HD Graphics, but that's another story...) but now i CAN'T START MAC OSX without the Iboot CD.

I've tried to download the exact same chameleon it uses (RC5 R651), and install it to the HD, but without sucess, any bootloader i've tried got the same result: freeze in the apple logo screen.
And i've didn't manage to boot with any other CD as well, just with the Iboot.
I've tried to use "-v" to see more accurately what could be the cause, but the screen gives me the error too fast and just goes black after that.
after a lot of tries i've managed to see a little of it, it says something like that:

error efi inject string data
no smbios

My hardware is this:

Motherboard Chipset: HM55
Processor Intel Pentim P6100
VGA: Intel HD Graphics
HD: Sata 320gb

It's a MSI CR420...

Anyone knows how i can fix this?

Intel HD Graphics is not supported by Apple. Onboard Graphics are mostly not supported.
Buy yourself a cheap Videocard like a ASUS 8400GS 512MB and it will go much better

how do you insert a vga offboard on a notebook?
i'm pretty sure that it's no possible..

Sorry, didn't see it was a Laptop

that's ok. but i don't think the problem is with the VGA, otherwise, i would need to use -x to boot, no matter what bootloader i've used... i've tried a lot of things, and noticed that MAC is a little confused about my 5 partitions on the HD, the identifier says "disk0s5" is my MAC Partition (in the disk utility - info) and on the terminal, it identifies it as disk1s5, but when i run the fdisk and type "p" it shows only 4 partitions, and none of them is the MAC.

I'll try to format the entire disk and make only 2 partitions, to see if this works.

I've filmed the boot now. filmed it when i try to boot from the HD and when it sucessfully boots from the IBOOT cd. the error i get without the cd is this one:
NO SMBIOS REPLACEMENT FOUND
PATCHED DMI TABLE
NO DSDT REPLACEMENT FOUND. LEAVING ACPI DATA AS IS.

And after that everything goes black.

Now, with the IBOOT i get that:
It finds a /extra/smbios.plist, then detects my processor correctly (P6100)
PATCH DMI
and applies some restart fixes on the ACPI, after that it starts to load the MAC OSX.

So, i guess what i need is that smbios on the bootloader on the drive, right?

As you've said 5 partitions are to much. Mac (GUID) can handle 4 partitions, as you noticed.

tried everything and no success. From the last message of the successful CD boot:
ACPI: Table not found: DSDT.aml
ACPI: Table not found: SSDT.aml
FADT: Restart fix applied

I think the problem is with the DSDT.
but i`ve didn`t find anyone with this problem. Guess i`m too stupid to try it anyway haha, couldn`t fix even one problem Lol.
i`ve searched for ACPI Loaders and something about DSDT too, but i don`t have any idea if thats the problem, and if it is, what should i do to fix it. i`ve looked in the iboot CD for these files, after all, if from the CD my Laptop boots, then what i need is inside it. But i dont have a single clue of what i`m looking for haha. I`m used to another kind of problem (knowing what i need, just dont knowing where to find it), and this is a lot harder haha.

Anyway, i`m about to give up and go back to windows 7, i think this laptop will do no good as a hackintosh. My desktop, on the other hand, is working with the same release (iatkos) like a charm.

try iboot legacy it has nawcom kernel it works alot better on lappys

Or you could use Nawcom's own Boot CD!
