Hey, will iATKOS v7 10.5.7 work on my laptop?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1BL. I tried to search it on osx86 project wiki but I couldn't find it on any of the compatibility lists since 10.4.11 till 10.6.3. But I really want to run Mac OSX, maybe not iATKOS... Any help would be appreciated

DSDT problem
Quote:
I have quite a similar machine and a similar problem. There is a known trouble with BIOS in these series (L505D, A505). Linux couldn't be installed on them neither. On Linux however the problem has been quickly resolved by a simple operation incorporated into the loader, which is copying the DSDT to memory prior to loading the system. And further referring to the tables copied to the RAM rather than working with the motherboard directly. The issue is that somehow the DSDT tables get overwrited with garbage on some stage of loading the system, which totally messes the whole thing up. As to Hackintosh, there is a built-in possibility to do quite the same with Chameleon. Just get the right DSDT and place it into the dedicated folder inside the installer media, and the bootloader should pick it up (I think this is "Extra" folder on your installer media). Probably you would need to make your bootloader load from a usb stick (where you may easily place your DSDT file) or otherwise mess with the image before burning it on CD/DVD, which is a bit more complicated. I was moving in this direction, but eventually I had some more important things to do and so this is being delayed as for now. Of course, no guarantees this will actually work, but it might, especially combined with other techniques, such as tuning the DSDT to match the OsX expectations of hardware. There are plenty of tutorials (most of them outdated) referring to how this should be done. The right DSDT is located right here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23950 I think you should rename it to dsdt.aml in order to use it with Chameleon. You may also refer to this discussion by Linux developers: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679 Please post any resluts, positive or negative, so other people with this problem can benefit of your trial and error too and maybe think of methods to make a further progress.

Sorry for being away for a while...But anyways....Amina your system looks great as far as the info you have given me, the WiFi card I am unsure of. I suggest trying the latest edition of Empire EFI or iBoot, and if none of those work Hazards Snow Leopard Distro ,I would like to know your Graphics card model and specs though.

@kozzbc You need to find out what kernel is on the install DVD, and make sure you install that kernel so at next boot it will boot just as the DVD did, I am not too sure about graphics card compatibility though...
