Hey, this is for an actual macbook, but I figure people here tend to be more tech savvy, and apple themselves have proven useless. Preparing to sell an MacBook Pro (as I now use a hackintosh running 10.9 fulltime) I reformated and during the install of 10.6 I got a kernel panic, I've tried different install media to avail, usually just sitting at the apple logo for hours. Anyways, today I tried to run the apple network recovery, I got a cryptic error message reading "Apple.com/support -5010f" looking up the error message seems to get me nowhere, and years in the hackintosh community some time ago (in the 10.5 era) has shown me that you guys are usually leaps and bounds better than Apple. Anyways, has anyone ever seen this error before, I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with this macbook, it worked fine, I reformatted to sell it, KPd during install of 10.6 (it had 10.7 on it before, came with 10.5.4) and now it won't seem to accept any OS installs, failing at various points in the startup phase for them, or just getting a generic "an error has occurred, please try reinstalling" message while reinstalling. Going to try booting in single user mode, I'll see where it fails, but it's exams and I kind of need to study.
Note: I have tried with official install media, and some I downloaded, neither seems to work, and I don't have the original discs that came with the laptop, they were lost years ago.
Sorry for posting this over here, but you guys are my last hope.
