Install Osx86 Without Ahci Bios Asus IATKOS is an OSX86 Installation Project. Easiest way of trying Mac OS X on Intel based regular computers, also known as.

Configuration of my laptop: I have oldy Asus F80s laptop, with 'not-so-low' specs. - ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 HD ( working on Snow Leopard ) - Intel Core2Duo 2.0 ghz - Atheros AR5007EG ( working ) - 3 GB RAM - 250 GB HD You will need: - Another computer with Macintosh OR any file explorer ( too see hfs+ files ). I had one big problem - OS X installer won't see my HDD drive. But what i should to do when there's no AHCI mode in BIOS?

Let's solve it. Those kexts i was needed to make my OS X see Serial ATA harddrive (attached) - IOATAFamily.kext - AppleNForceATA.kext - AppleVIAATA.kext First method.

Write your OS X image to any flash drive. Then drop kexts to '/System/Library/Extensions' OR just use kext installer ( recommended ). If you don't see 'System' folder on your Mac then just open Terminal and type: 'defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' and then 'killall Finder' to restart Finder.

But if you use another file explorer then just drop those kexts. Try to install now. You will see your SATA Drive in device list. If first method WON'T work or install fails then try next ( harder procedure ). Disconnect your SATA Harddrive. Get USBtoSATA controller. ( Uses in portative hdds ) 3.

Write your OS X image to any flash drive. ( DO NOT DROP KEXTS THERE ) 4.

Connect your HDD which is connected via USBtoSATA controller. Your installer will see your HD without any kexts. Install it on yours HDD which connected via usbtosata controller. When install finishes, it can stuck at 'Still waiting for root device' or 'USBF' log. Shut down your computer. Disconnect USB HDD, connect it to any computer. IF YOU USE MACINTOSH - then show all hidden files, and drop kexts which i attached to 'System/Library/Extensions'.

IF YOU USE ANOTHER FILE EXPLORER or OS - then just drop those files to same directory. Safe disconnect your USB HDD. Disconnect your HDD from USB2Sata controller. Connect your HDD back to 'original place'. Try to launch it. OS X should start without any errors.

Thank you so much, I've been at this for hours - It was so exciting to finally see the NTFS drives appear in disk utility My machine is an ASUS F83Se, SiS 671 chipset Radeon Mobility HD 4570 graphics, running 10.9 mavericks prepared by the myHack app. I had to tweak a few other things to get the usb installer to boot however, At first it would with ' still waiting for root device', this was fixed by passing USBBusFix=Yes alongside -v -f when starting up Second, bluetooth kexts caused the boot to hang, I just deleted all 3 bluetooth kexts to solve.

Lastly, it seemed to stick at DSMOS has arrived, passing GraphicsEnabler=No solved this one.

>When thinking about configuring BIOS, the configuration depends on the bootloader that is being used, two known boot-loader for Hackintosh are Chameleon and Clover, Chameleon is a BIOS type boot-loader, Clover can be installed as UEFI boot-loader as well as BIOS type boot-loader. Without correct Bios configuration system will not boot but boot issues are not only caused by Bios so read the guide to know more about Hackintosh boot problems Setting up BIOS Boot (Chameleon or Clover) The setting name or menu of settings will not be same as the pictures below, You have to find the settings yourself in your BIOS HPET Must be set to ON or Enabled in BIOS HPET Mode must be 64-Bit In case of kernel panic related to HPET use kernel flag ForceHPET=Yes. >It is better to plug clover UEFI installation stick before configuring UEFI bios settings BIOS screenshots are taken from the Gigabyte z77x-ud5h Select your install drive as the first boot option. If you are installing Clover on a UEFI board, there will be two boot options for your USB. Select the one prefixed with UEFI. (I.E UEFI USB flash drive) CSM must be disabled.

[this setting will not exist on non-UEFI installs] Note: this is required for most systems to boot. However, on a system (z77x-ud5h and Evga GTX 660) disabling CSM prevented the graphics card from functioning. First, try to boot with CSM disabled and if this causes issues with your card ( I. Zip Manual. E. Your BIOS won’t even be displayed.), then clear the CMOS and proceed with CSM enabled.
