Alright... so this is my 2nd Hackintosh/OSX-86 build. I know what i'm doing. I followed the weak sauce PB works Guide.
https://leopardsoup.pbworks.com/session/login?return_to_page=FrontPage and have done this twice now... so again, I KNOW WHAT IM DOING
It is of course down right now when I need it most.
My problem is that I get Leopard 10.5.6 installed perfectly. EVerything is great... I open up Uninstaller and go through each one. I first install the drivers for the motherboard (LAN, Audio, etc.) then i restart. Everything is fine. I then install the Native Boot Resolution (2500x1600), restart again... everything is fine. Now when i go to install any of the EFI Patches... thats when it totally crashes my system. I don't know WTF is going on. I've done this before so the setup is fine. Like everything works in my system... i know the ram works fine, i know the board and processor are fine because it works. It's when i install that damn EFI patch... I think i get a kernal panic and it either hangs at the apple startup grey screen with the spinning circle for hours... OR it will just do that multilanguage apple crash (when the screen goes to black and says to restart it and has all the languages).
I'm really pissed cuz I feel like i'm missing one important step because I don't have that weak sauce wiki. So... does anyone know wtf i'm doing wrong? i've tried EVERYTHING! I replaced the board, tried another board (the lower end ES2L board), changed ram, changed HD's, unplugged everything except keyboard and mouse, installed the 10.5.7 update before applying the EFI patch.
EVERYTHING! please help me. I'm really just about to freaking sell everything and buy a damn imac or macbook. The thing that pisses me off is that, i've DONE This already and had it working on this system... so i'm right there. Help.
