Not likely to happen I'm afraid.

Really, can't go wrong with 1390 or 1490 Dell/Broadcom from ebay. They run about 5-25€

That's too bad. I was really hoping for that as some people are working on it. I'll use this usb for now but I wish I could find an exposed plug on my motherboard for that other broadcom adapter.

Try unscrewing the adaptor. It is easier than HDD or Ram swapping.

This is the very first laptop I've ever seen that doesnt let you remove the wifi card. I've swapped many already, and the fact my model has two pci-e slots for wifi suggests that they really intended on leaving the intel one fixed to the board.

It will surely pop out easy. Then download drivers for Windows if you dual boot.

Okay I will try that but it also looks like the power wires go underneath the other side of the laptop which is inaccessible?

Xiloa · #5 07-19-2009, 03:29 AM

Turns out the card wasn't PCIE. I don't have the money to spend on this right now so I'm a bit out of luck as my usb will only last for <1hr and internal doesnt work.

ive currently installed OSX v7 using iatkos Thanks to this Awesome Guide !!

i already have vista on a different partition
and i created an another partition and installed hackint0sh and it worked i can boot into mac with chameleon but now the problem is i cant boot into Vista as soon as i select vista it just loops and instantly restarts

i tried making the vista partition active using the Vista DVD and then it would just boot straight to Vista

any help i can get on this dual booting both of them
Partition structure

Vista = Partition 1
Data = Partition 2
PQSERVICE = Partition 3
Mac = Partition 4

PS.
i already had vista on this laptop before installing iatkos

Thanks

Ok this is my expierne lol Also this is my laptop Model : 6935G - 643G32Bn

I have the latest copy of IAtkos v7 and IDenev 10.5.6. I am running a Acer Aspire 6935 ( 2GHz Dual Core Intel / 3GB DDR3 / 9600 GM 512MB / 300GB WD HD / ABGN WLAN )

Everytime i install Either of the two I cannot get past the first install stage ( after it asks you to restart )

I just get either 1 of 3 things. 1. An Apple symbol that stays forever, 2 Apple symbol and after 5 minutes a Grey Cross box Will appear at the top of the apple. 3. my screen will go from the apple symbol to black and no activity will happen!

Now i HAVE been able to get past this stage TWICE with iAtkos by just installing Kernal and base files ONLY ! and 1 keyboard driver.

I have tried to replicate what I done but it seems no matter what options or drivers I pick I have no luck and cannot get past the first install stage!

This is what I do so bare with me again lol.

I load up IAtkos / Disk Utility / Split my hard drive into 2 partitions ( 20 GB OSX and 280 GB Untitled ) Both Mac Extended ( Journaled ) and GUID Partitions )

Then I run first aid on both partitions which passes. Then I continue to the Install

On customize I select the following ( Iatkos v7 man system , Bootloader ( Cham2 ) no x86 , Keyboard Driver Only and Post-Install Actions )

I have tried lots of variations including the tortorial provided by others who ahve the same laptop as me! No matter what options I select on IAtkos or Idenb it wont get past the last install stage

I have tried with ACHI + IDE mode same effect. I even tried my original config that allowed me get past the install stage but that doesnt wotrk anymore!

PLEASE Help!

Mcdond,

You must be overlooking something. If we have the same laptop, heck, even with ANY core2duo this tutorial should work (except gfx, sound etc) but it should be able to boot.

Bios to AHCI

First of all, you must chose 1 decrypter, I used apple decrypt, you could try dsmos... and I think the Disabler is also mandatory for system boot.

When installing, never simply overwrite install over a previous version !! never! Erase drive, or better, re-partition it (1 partition or 2 for dual boot)

When DVD/USB boots, go into disk utility and erase/partition, the continue install.

GUID + hfs journalled, we covered that...

Then, continue install, and customize. At the end the green tick appears and it asks to reboot.

Reboot. When Chameleon shows up with the countdown bar, press any key, the countdown will stop.

now write "'-v -f" and press enter. Be sure you read the bottom left corner before pressing enter to be sure it is well written. Without the " " !!

This boots in verbose mode, where you can see the code flying through.

If there is a kernel panic, take a picture and post, its the only way to know where it is hanging. Otherwise, some timeouts take alot of time to go through, be patient.

Osx is quite fidly to install, but once there... it is well worth it !

I am working on the sound issue, and if I get it working dandy, I could make an image install of my system and upload it somewhere. That would be even easier than reading tutorials

Apple Logo looping staying forever

Apple logo then my screen goes black and i get nothing forever.

1 - suggests the "Still waiting for root device" issue. This is not a kernel panic, but the system is hanging waiting for a device to talk back. This is almost certain when you tried in IDE mode, so the system just stops responding.

2 - suggests KP (kernel panic) where some kext, or combination of kexts, are wrong and blocking the system, Must boot in verbose to know. As in the first.
Even if you chose wrong kexts (drivers) it might not kernel panic. It just depends in general. To me this suggests you might have installed a new version without erasing HDD, so you got conflciting files.

3 - this is video issue (duh! looll

) and for sure you tried one of the other Nvidia injectors. This issue is very easy to resolve, just remove NVDAresman.kext which causes the screen black and never return. Some people have edited this kext, geforce.kext NVhal50 etc with the card string and resolution, display codes for nvidia vga+vga, vga+ dvi etc etc.

That is not needed here because I have put the string in the boot.plist in the first post. But you DONT have to do this right now. The system will boot if you dont chose any video card without problems - no resolutions, no QE CI etc, but it will boot nice.

Hope this helps
