I got TransMac but I have no clue how to use it.. Is there any tutorial that will show me how to inject these ktexts? If you know please let me know what the address is...PM me if you want...

it's not that hard, select in Options > Show Hidden Files , mount the image, expand the image HFS+ Volume > System > Library and there u can find extensions.mkext (just use drag&drop)
and you can search what other files you can change on other forums or google

Hmm I can see the folder, and I can see the Extensions.mkext...but the SB700 kexts you had me download won't copy over?? What do you mean by mount it? I don't see anywhere in this program where you mount it. I don't know if I'm understanding what you mean...

mount the image = File > Open Disk Image
be carefull when you copy/delete files in the image because it autosave any changes so you should make a copy of your image and you can only modify things in the right window of TransMac
you should buy a DVD+/-RW disc so you can try many combinations
good luck

Well I burned a DVD, it booted and I got the install 100%, but after first boot...I got a Kernel Panic...I gave up for now, hopefully there will be a release with all of the newer AMD chipsets and I won't have to go through all that junk...

Thanks for the help!

Hey, I got the install started, but I couldn't reformat my hd or add a partition to it because it says that it has a S.M.A.R.T. error, that my hard drive is failing. I just did a WD diagnostic on my hard drive and it is giving me errors too. Does that mean that I should just replace my hd??? sorry if it is a blonde question...


Thanks guys

Hi for me it doesn't even boot, "Still waiting for the root device" error appears, although it seems that the chipset is recognized. From what I read it seems i have a bad combination of hardware. I've tried boot options from here http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in....22_message.3F but with no luck.
Here is my hardware configuration, dvd-rom is slave and sata drive tertiary master (I guess this is by default)

> Mainboard : Abit KN9(NF-MCP55 series)

> Chipset : nVidia nForce 570 Ultra

> Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ @ 2000 MHz

> Physical Memory : 1024 MB (2 x 512 DDR2-SDRAM )

> Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

> Hard Disk : SAMSUNG (250 GB) 2504c SATA II

> DVD-Rom Drive : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M SATA


Is there any solution or it simply doesn't work for my hardware ?

Hey Lawless.
I am downloading it right now, but as for all the other releases, i got a PCMIA error, even if the slot is empty.
If i do make it to the installation, what chipset, drivers, fixes and such would you recommend with my system specs?(See my signature.)
I am asking this just because i'm a 'fool' at this.
Thanks for your effort.

Elvir.

No worries about the hard drive situation, I emailed HP, and they are sending me a brand new hard drive. When I get it next week I will be putting it in my HP dv2125nr, and installing your distro. Can't wait!!!!

Ok... I just got my new hard drive in and put it in my laptop. I popped in the install disk that worked last time, and now I get an error as soon as I try to boot the disk.

"System config file '/com.apple.bot.system/Library/preferences/systemConfiguraiton/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found"

I have tried all of the boot flags that I was told to use in the ReadMe file. -f -x -v cpus=1

Still getting the same error. Any ideas??? could it be that my bios say that the factory installed OS is Vista still and there isn't any OS on this hard drive? Help please!!!

EDIT: Ok, I did install and it went successfully, but now when i try and boot from HD or DVD it gives me the same error it does above. any ideas???

EDIT: got that resolved, just had to select HD as main boot every time i boot....
