OSX86 on a ThinkPad T420!

#1 Post by mulletman13 » Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:57 am

Hey everyone,

Looking to see if anybody has attempted or has successfully been able to get osx86 up and running on the T420 with integrated Intel 3000 Graphics. I see the W520 tutorial, and am pretty curious how much of it can be applied to the T420. It appears the hardware checks out and should be ideal. I will update this top post if there are no other replies with my endeavors.

Well, the good news is there is a guide:

The bad news is that (despite having installed osx86 on several computers) I can't get a bootable install on my T420 whatsoever.

If anybody has any info on what BIOS settings to use, or what settings/methods they'd use, I would highly appreciate it.
