Hi
I built my desktop Hackintosh using the following
Motherboard Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H BIOS F156q when I bought it it was F7
CPU Intel i5 3570K
Hard Drive (1) Hitachi 500GB (512kb sectors)
Hard Drive (2) Samsung SSD 120GB (4k sectors)
DVD Pioneer DVD writer
I first started with a Seagate 2TB hard drive but it was also advance formatted and had problems booting after loading Mountain Lion and so changed to the Samsung SSD but it was also advance formatted so found an old Hitachi which has worked OK.
I have found that when I boot I get a choice of hard drives or connected USB's to boot with.
My problem is that using the Hitachi I can only boot with -x and end up with Safe Boot. If I use -v I get to the Bluetooth is loaded and it hangs. If I use -x I get close to a full system but no DVD. Internet is recognised and usable. I have not checked sound.
If I choose the SSD I get a proper boot (not Safe Boot) but no internet. I cannot get the system to recognise the ethernet cable that is plugged in to the back of the computer.
I have tried many different combinations of GraphicsEnabler=YEs and No, PCIRootUID=0 to 5, npci=0x2000 and 0x3000 cpus=1 but nothing changes anything
I downloaded Mountain Lion upgrade and put it on a USB so have upgraded my SSD to 10.8.4 (I could not do it any other way as no internet connection.) My Office 2011 keeps telling me I only have 15 days to register my product and I cannot do it as no internet.
I am new Mac and don't fully understand where to find kexts and plists.
My question is is there a way to find out what the differences in setup are so that I can correct both systems to get a full system with the internet. Sound at this stage is not that important.
