I have an Acer Aspire 4530 that I just bought.  I would like to install OSX on it. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start. I figured I would be able to boot off one install DVD and at least make it to the install menu. However, I can't seem to get past the first few seconds of the startup sequence.... I've tried AHCI mode and IDE from the Bios. I have tried booting every one with and without -v, -x, -f, and cpu=1. I've tried Iatkos, kalyway, zephyroth, Leo 4 all and ideneb. And they all don't work.

iDeneb 10.5.2  (Boots to "Loading HFS+ file:[/System/Library/Extensions.mkext] from 4230480." then freezes until I press a key. Then the computer restarts.),

Kalyway 10.5.2, (Makes it 100 lines down quite quickly, then restarts computer.)

Leo4all 10.5.2 v2, (Makes it 7 lines down then restarts computer.)

Leo4all 10.5.2 v3, (Makes it 100 lines quite quickly down, then restarts computer.)

iAtkos 10.5.2.(Boots to "Loading HFS+ file:[/System/Library/Extensions.mkext] from 4230450." Then the computer restarts.)

Zephyroth 10.4.8 upon invoking -v -x -f cpu=1 loads lots of code for about 2mins and restart.

I did a lot of reading is insanelymac and other forums but nobody has an answer. I thought a bios mod might be required because I had a desktop running a MSI P35 Neo motherboard that requires flashing a modded bios to work with osx86.  However when I delve further into modding bios, I can hardly find info on it. It seems to have something to do with modding the DSDT table in bios, but there's no guide available that I could find.

Oh last but not least, my Specs:
Acer 4530
AMD Turion X2 RM70
160gb HDD
4gb RAM
Atheros 5007 Wireless b/g
Nvidia 9100m G motherboard with integrated GF 9100M

Can any of the sifus here give me any clue to what should I do? Thanks in advance.

PS currently downloading iPC Universal 10.5.6 Final, but I read in another forum, somebody suing the same laptop tried and had the same result.

I wanted to format my another partition as my Mac secondary HDD.

I use Disk Utility and format it with "MAC OS Extended (Journaled)" and "MAC OS Extended"

When I restart, I can't boot my Mac anymore, It's because the system do not know which partition to read.

So Which format shall I use ?

link and beginner guide needed. Thanks in advance.

You need to make sure your chipset is supported.

HacPro based on i7 machine halt for time being coz I find my current HacPro still working as it should be. The culprit caused by my PSU.
Yehaaa.. Hail to OS X

Aww...why the PSU can cause problems?
I always thought most important is the mobo and GC, never think choice of PSU also matters.

And my minimize effect is missing.

My Spec as below,
After update Sound doesn't work. ( ALC 888 build-in )
then install back the driver and now is working fine.

But my hackint0sh do not able to detect my processor.

MB : Gigabyte P965-DS3
Intel E6600 2.4 ( mac detect 4Ghz)
2GB RAM

u on chameleon 2.0? put smbios.plist in your extra folder. Should do the trick.

Thanks for replying.

The chipset is Nvidia 9100m G chipset (MCP77MH)

I didn't manage to get into the installation screen. I pop the DVD in, boot from the DVD into Darwin to start the installation. A few lines of code (refer to my previous post) appear and the laptop restarts right after that.
May I know where can I find that information?
Thanks
