Tried every version of OSx86, no success
Hello everybody. I am new to the whole OSx86 thing, but not new to OS X itself. I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 with the AMD Athlon X2 64 processor, and have tried every version of OSx86 except for iAtkos and Zephyros or whatever it is. I can't get any of them to work.
With iPC I get some sort of kernel panic related to APCI and Voodoo With leo4all I couldn't get the DVD Boot to work With Kalyway I have gotten the farthest: It loads everything with the modbin kernel that I specify, loads the drivers, and then gives a white blank screen for about 20 seconds. After this, my laptop just restarts and continues to load Windows 7 normally. I really really really (so on and so forth...) want OS X on my laptop. I like it so much more than Windows, and it is easier to use than Ubuntu. Can anybody help me with some sort of tutorial or something? Thanks ahead of time! |
try Hazard's snow leopard

Try iDeneb 1.6
I used it on my son's Toshiba L455 and I didn't get sound or netwerking, but it does what I wanted it to.
I used the SATA and the SD drivers, removed the FireWire. Try it with the minimum, then add to it. Try going to Acer's website and search the forums, there is a section about OS X on the D250 and use the recommended settings as a start I added NTFS read/write capabilities, and moved the User's home to the Windows 7 partition, overlapping its desktop. What little he does stores on the desktop, and when he reboots, its on his Windows desktop and he is happy. |
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try it when I get done typing this post. I am also trying it right now on my old Compaq laptop with an Intel Pentium Dual Core processor and so far it looks good! It is at a light blue screen right now getting ready to load the installer (hopefully), so I hope it works at least on the old laptop.
EDIT: It turns out that it was the blue screen problem that other Intel users had, not the installer loading. I know that it would have worked if it had the right graphics driver, so I'm not gonna bother patching the .iso. I've already used like 5 DVDs and I don't want to waste more... |
I tried Hazard's Snow Leopard and I have to say, the boot screen looks a lot nicer than the other ones. But I still get that kernel panic that I got with iPC: " "local APIC error\n"@/VoodooKernel/xnu-1228.7.58/osfmk/i386/mp.c:809 "
I really want to get OS X up and running (like I said above...), but it looks like I might have to give up! I wish us Toshiba InsydeH20 BIOS users could have more options, but basically we can change the time, the boot order, the password, and enable-disable LAN, Legacy USB, and SATA support. |
Try to boot using cpus=1 bootflag - if it doesn't work either, please provide an photo of the full KP message, not just fragments.

OK. I tried Hazard with the "cpus=1" (and "-cpus=1", just in case it needs a dash) and it didn't work. I also tried the -x safe mode flag and it still failed. Same error. I attached a screenshot this time. I hope I can figure out a way to fix this!

keep trying different options with Hazards. I had the same thing, and I honestly don't remember what I selected. Just keep trying
