Have you turned off vt-d? because after restarting my hackintosh 50 times and putting in different boot commands that turned out to be the whole problem after all. If not tell me what you are running into, I might be able to help.

It's an AMD rig and I don't have access to a mac so everything is really just butchered together :S Not going to mention anything else incase it's against the CoC though :/

Apple is the only company I trust to deliver great build quality, high-quality parts, and an overall coherent experience.

 

Pity they use the same parts as any other manufacturer.

Not always. For displays especially, they test each one, and outright reject any with issues.

MSI, Acer, Lenovo, Qube, Xitrix (even if their keyboards and mice are complete shit), Apple (if I really have to buy from them)...

And yet they use standard Seagate Barracuda hard drives for storage.

Yes, because they're reliable. My dad just bought a new Dell desktop, and of all things, it came with a Hitachi Deskstar :o

Apple doesn't make their own drives, because they source them from other companies- as with most of their parts. But the parts they choose are known to be reliable.

Apple.   For PCs it looks Like Digital Storm is a real winner. 

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

Yeah, very reliable, my iMac g4 is going strong, no problems whatsoever, even after I installed and uninstalled OS's multiple times.

Yep, for me it would be Apple for anything non gaming. If I wanted a gaming machine, the Digital Storm all the way...

I'd go without, you bunch of sell outs! You should be banned for posting a pre-built! :angry:

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I know there are "certain ways" to do it (modified kernels) but since I don't have a mac to begin with, to swap kernels, I have to do it "pre-changed" versions of the OS which involves... you know, the P word in tech :(
