Seeing as you're new here, and you'll be using a Voodoo or Voodoo-derivative kernel, go read the Voodoo kernel manual:
Anyway don't let this discourage you, maybe you'll get lucky and it just works. There are fixes for most of these things.but it depends how far down the rabbit hole you're willing to go. This is why laptops are more difficult to hack because here you're also dealing with battery management, sleep/wake on lid close/open and stuff like that.
PENTIUM PROCSSOR HACKINTOSH PC
Or, you put your PC to sleep but it wakes immediately and then none of your USB devices work, including your mouse and keyboard, or, my personal favorite, instead of waking it immediately reboots and your BIOS settings get reset to factory defaults.
That's what I mean by 'native' power management.įunny power management-related things can happen on a Hackintosh, like the PC rebooting instead of shutting down, or it seems to shut down but the fans keep spinning forever. On PCs that can run the Apple kernel you can usually get most power management/ACPI stuff working pretty well using Apple's own drivers, which is nice. This is because, for compatibility reasons, the patched kernel that you'll be using automatically blocks a bunch of kernel extensions that deal with CPU power management. you're right that "shut down" is technically a power state, what I meant to say is that because you're using a Pentium 4 CPU you'll be relying on 3rd party kernel extensions for CPU speed stepping and maybe S3 sleep/wake. This makes it harder to fix things when they break, and very difficult to successfully run an OS update.
PENTIUM PROCSSOR HACKINTOSH INSTALL
Hacked DVDs, or distros, install patches that you don't know about and even omit some things as well. But it's better to avoid hacked install DVDs altogether and install retail OS X instead - this way you are in charge and you know what goes where and where the modifications are. If you must use a distro I recommend JaS 10.5.4 client/server or iPC 10.5.6 final. I hope your motherboard has an Intel chipset + compatible sound and LAN though. If you want to dual boot, I recommend installing OS X to a separate hard drive instead of sharing a drive with Windows.ītw the hardest part is not your CPU, P4s are not a problem. As such, installation is a little bit more complicated than it is on PCs that uses a modern Intel CPU and chipset, but only a little. Also take a look at konti's MyHack.ĭon't forget that you can't use the vanilla kernel on a Pentium 4 and that you can't have native power management. Use an unmodified retail OS X DVD and a suitable boot CD, such as Nawcom's modCD (there are many different ones available).
