EFI is like the Bios in a PC but on a Mac, Chameleon is a boot-loader for OSx86 that emulates the EFI so we can run the Vanilla Snow leopard without many modifications, it comes in the SnowOSX Universal Golden Master 3.4 ,so don't worry about downloading it just select it from the customize tab when you install , just make sure you select the most current one. Because you will need it to use the patched dsdt.aml file on a Toshiba laptop.


A patched dsdt.aml file is a MUST when installing on a Toshiba Satellite in order for everything to work correctly.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6015

I just purchased this yesterday with my main goal to dual boot MacOX X. I have a 5-license copy of Mac OS X that I plan to use to install.

I sort of decided to buy then dive into this and should have done my research first because i am not 100% sure that I will be able to install Mac OS X SL on it now based on what I am reading.

Here are the specs;

Code:
Processor          Intel Core i5-430M Processor
Memory (RAM)         4GB
Memory Type         DDR3
Memory Expandable to     8GB
Hard Drive Size     500GB
Hard Drive Type     SATA
Optical Drive         DVD SuperMulti drive with Labelflash supporting 11 formats
Display Size         16.0"
Display Type         widescreen TruBrite TFT LCD display at 1366 x 768
Operating System     Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Battery Type         6 cell (4400 mAh) Lithium Ion battery pack
Network Card         Wi-Fi Wireless networking (802.11b/g/n)
Video Graphics         Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
Other ports         HDMI
# of USB slots         4
Bluetooth Enabled     No
Dimensions         15.1"W x 10.2"D x 1.44"/1.61"H
Weight             6.48lbs
Warranty         1 year
Extra Features         Built-in harman/kardon stereo speakers
I thought I did my homework, I did not, now I realize that you have to know the EFI String, and resolutions to set before booting a "132" CD Image. :-)

Any ideas? Should I just return this notebook and get myself a used Macbook Pro?

What happens is when I boot with the (I believe it is Chameleon compiled into a .iso) I get to the point where the Snow Leopard disc is found properly but when I select it to continue, there is some text that scrolls on the screen and the laptop reboots. The text scrolls by so quickly that I don't really notice any errors.

I've got a very good *nix background and Mac OS background. Just wanted to try and save about $2k by NOT buying a Macbook Pro.

I ran CPUID-Z (I believe that is what it is called, and there was no further detail on the Intel graphics chipset.... odd I thought.

Some more searches pulled out that Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD = GMA 5700M HD ??

Toshiba Satelite P300, pn:PCPCCC-01S01C

Hi all,

I have been searching high and low for a solution to get OSx to boot on my machine. I have tried a number of distros, Hazard's. iDeneb 1.6- 10.5.8, and most recently SnowOSX3.6, All were able to install however i would always get a kernel panic when i try to boot the system. I have to use a boot cd iBoot or nawcom to attempt the startup, but osx never starts. I have a hard time finding any posts with the config used on my specific system. The closest i have come to sucess was after installing SnowOSX3.6, i was getting a panic from AppleFWOHCI, so i removed the FireWire kext from the /Library/Extensions folder and tha solved that problem. However i got a new panc (cpu 0 caller 0x2a7e57) Kernel trap at 0x5d446c07.

Here are my Laptop Specs:

Intel® Core™2 Duo processor P7350 (2.0GHz, 1066MHz FSB, L1 Cache 32KB/32KB, L2 Cache 3MB)

Memory:

Standard Memory: 2 x 2GB DDR2 (800MHz)

Graphics Controller

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Video Memory: 512MB dedicated VRAM

Ok. I try to get everything work step by step. I started with my the sound. I have an Realtek ALC268. I have found THIS. I tried to install it twice and every single time a kernel panic appeared and I had to reinstall OSX. So what should I do?
