HCL 10.7.1
|
This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.7.1 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

My method of install was Niresh12495-Lion, Google it. After I gathered everything necessary for the install, I restored the Niresh image (Its untouched, maybe slight modifications to the install disk, but everything for the most part is pure Lion and Vanilla, there are no kexts or anything included with the install) to a restore partition I created, and used the tools that came with it all to make it bootable. TIP: The boot loader theme it comes with is really nice, but Niresh added a picture of himself to selection screen, so after you make the drive bootable you'll want to go into the /Extra/Themes folder of the Restore drive you just created and change the "background.png" with something you like. I personally got an un-modified version of the one that Niresh put his picture on. Continuing on, my GPU (An HIS Radeon 4670) which is another really-uncompatible piece (Just my luck) works perfectly with Snow Leopard after updating to 10.6.8, but in Lion it requires a DVI to VGA plugged into the DVI slot and then just Plug your Monitor's VGA into the VGA slot on your card (not the DVI to VGA). At least it gets Full QE/CI! Ethernet, unlike snow leopard, does NOT work out of the box and neither does sound. But Luckily, Realtek has released kexts for mac. You'll want the OS X drivers for After Installing the Ethernet drivers, AppStore still won't work, It returns an error that computer or device is not "valid". To fix this I followed someones pretty quick, simple guid. Here's the post. Lastly but definitely not least, It updates through software update with NO problem like a real mac!! Just a note from previous experiences, If you ever do update and can't get back in (no screen, or garbled) then try getting in with safe mode (-x at boot) as something may have gone wrong with your GPU kexts from the update. Hope this works for you! Good Luck! |

Included in MultiBeast. Guarantee one of most recommended parts for hackintosh build in 2011. Everything just works effortlessly from installation, 64bit, audio, ethernet, graphics with QE/CI & multiple display (OOB), sleep mode just works from the moment after running MultiBeast. You can see 'Full Tutorial of Making a Hackintosh' for more information. |
