Hackintosh, my next build
by frenchsquared on Dec.18, 2008, under Mac
So, I have decided to build another desktop.
This time the plan is to build a quad boot machine.
The dual and triple boots have been done. Plus I need
a separate boot for testing OS.
The plan is to install Vista 64 / OS X / Fedora / Windows 7
I think I am going to try an make Fedora my primary OS.
I love the idea of having a way to run all 4 OS’s at the same time.
I will make a grub boot loader and have native boots for
all 4 OS. My goal is to also create a virtual boot for each of the os
from within linux, 8gb of ram..
So, I bought this stuff:
GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16
For those who do not know I already have OS X running on my Gateway M-6824
However, I haven’t been able to get the ATI Graphics working correctly. It is
running well enough that I am hooked on the Hackintosh.
Sorry, mac I have no intention of switching. I am a true windows fan, but Linux
has been catching my attention. I only want OS X for testing purposes.
Everyone should know that I am an IT Administrator and I need OS X to
test apps before installing. There is no way Im spending 3G’s for a testing machine.
Stay tuned in, I plan on posting pict’s of the entire build.

I just wanted to know if you got sound working for you install of os x on your gateway m-6824. If you did, can you tell me how to get this done?

I think I had sound working, but I am not entirely certain about how. I believe I use EFI Studio after replacing the kext. Sorry, it was a long time ago and it was a lot of work. I never got the graphics card to work and ended up buying a macbook last week.

frenchsquared, Your instructions above definitely fixed my sound issue. Thanks so much. HOWEVER, I get a popping sound just before any occurence of sound such as a song playing in iTunes, or when the computer starts up. Are you familiar with the popping sound. Any suggestions????
