fabiosun Thank you for helping.  I have do have 64 gigs or ram.  I will lower that for the VM.  I am not sure what you mean by putting my EFI folder without Apple folder.  Where do I find that?  I have a 3960 with 24 cores.  How should I list this?  I think you are asking me to list it as 48.  I will try that.  

Thanks guys.  I have checked my .conf files over and over.  I still get Apple Logo only.  I can hear the hard drive hitting the same dead end sound over and over.  Here is my conf

I have followed the tutorial but when I launch the VM it just hangs on the Apple logo.  Then after a long while it says 'no VNC'.  I suspect the hanging on the Apple logo without installing OS X is the real issue.  Any ideas?  Thanks!!!

OH, so I should open another conversation.   That's kind of funny.  I'll try to think of something relevant.  Thanks!

Oh wait...... it freed up.  Thanks mate!

Hey.  New here.  First build too.  Almost gave up on making it a Hackintosh until I found this resource. Hopefully I can this up and running with the tools you guys offer.  It says I don't have permission to download any of the scripts.  Does anyone know how I can fix that?  Thanks all!
