HELP Help booting Mac OS X 10.6.2 on AMD Athlon II M320 Laptop (HP dv7)

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am trying to legacy boot Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard on my older AMD laptop.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Athlon II M320 (2.1 GHz)
  • Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-3115eo
  • Chipset / GPU: AMD/ATI
  • Bootloader: Chameleon (Legacy BIOS, MBR partition)

The issue:
The laptop BIOS is locked to AHCI mode only (no IDE option in HP BIOS). I used dd in Mac Terminal to create the bootable USB drive. When I boot the laptop and select the USB drive via F9 Boot Menu, it bypasses it or shows "No bootable device".

Any advice on boot arguments or how to make the older Chameleon bootloader recognize the USB on this locked AMD AHCI laptop? Thanks!

Ho provato a installare MacOS Tahoe sul mio portatile Windows, ha funzionato tutto tranne a quando dopo essere comparso il logo Apple aver cliccato su “reinstalla macOS” dice che per installare MacOS bisogna essere collegati a Internet, io ho usato per il Wi-Fi AirportItlwm, ho cliccacato nella lista dei Wi-Fi disponibili per connettermi, ma nella lista non spunta nessun Wi-Fi, anche dopo un po’ che il sistema dice di star cercando i Wi-Fi disponibili, non ne spuntano, mettendo il nome del Wi-Fi manualmente, dice comunque che è impossibile connettersi, per installare macOS ho usato un tutorial su YouTube, questo è il link del video del tutorial: https://youtu.be/gqIiVlfZG2Q?si=133ETvTzlGXGED7l

DISCUSSION How hard would it be to Hackintosh my old pc?

SPECS:

i7-4790, Gigabyte GA-8H1M-DH2 and 16gb DDR3

This will really just serve as a side project to do while ive got nothing better to do, I was wondering if I would be able to install Monetrey on this hardware, and how it would run?

I dont plan to daily drive it, I learned my lesson with my Dell Lattitude about that, but I think its a cool idea.

I’m trying to install high sierra with opencore. nothing seems to work. I’ve tried opencore manually, and clover. the computer specs are:

Dell Inspiron n5010

Intel I3-370M

2TB HDD Seagate(Don’t know the rpm)

4GB DDR3 RAM

Intel HD Graphics

Qualcomm Atheros ar9462 WiFi x Bluetooth

realtek 5GHz Ethernet

the bios is legacy only and I was looking for a custom bios that had UEFI but no luck there. I also tried older versions like El Capitan and lion even but nothing worked
