Hackintosh OSX for GA-Z77X-UDH3H


Note: I am using an ATI6850 -- an Nvidia card will have different installation instructions.


Creating the Mountain Lion OSX Boot USB
  1. Download OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3
  2. Partition Drive as MBR with case in-sensitive journaling HFS+
  3. Install on 8GB+ USB drive with unibeast-1.7.0-gold.pkg (removes DMOS image checks)
  4. Rename /System/Library/Extensions/ATI6000Controller.kext to ATI6000Controller.bak
  5. Disable Virtualization in bios
  6. Boot with no additional boot flags
Fixing OSX after installation

  1. Boot with -x -f -v
  2. Run Multi-beast
    1. Chimera Bootloader v2.2
    2. Atheros ALXEthernet v1.0.2
    3. 10.8.3+ TRIM Patch
  3. Unzip Kexts OSX10.8.3.zip (from OSX folder in dropbox)
    1. Install all of the kexts (ATI, AppleHDA, USBXHCI) with kext utility
  4. Unzip Extra.tgz  (from OSX folder in dropbox)
    1. Copy custom.aml to /Extra
    2. Copy org.chamelon.Boot.plist to /Extra

BAM PERFECT HACKINTOSH!
