losangeles73 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wonderful People, I am new to the hackintosh world, but have been an IT Admin for 15 years. I am just starting on my first hackintosh setup and would greatly appreciate some help. Here are my exact specs of my Sony VPCF11CGX. Thanks in advance, the info on here is fantastic. I am fine with getting going with either Lion or Snow Leopard. Sony Model: VPCF11CGX =================== CPU: i7 Q720 1.6ghz Chipset PM55 Networking Wireless: Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002E&SUBSYS_E030105B&REV_01 Networking Cabled: Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_9067104D&REV_10 Video: NVIDIA GeForce 310M PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0A75&SUBSYS_9067104D&REV_A2 Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0275&SUBSYS_104D3F00&REV_100 Attached is a screen shot of what errors are on the screen when the the [ PCI Configuration begin ] message comes up and the install hangs. I had used "-v cpus=8, Busratio=12 ncpi=0x2000". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafoster Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Apple power management would that have something to do with sleep enabler? in custom install settings. i think, ive had trouble with this before on previous mac versions. I got sony vaio VGN-NS20E and cant get past 10.6.6 yet still working on it, and getting everything to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
