i've been trying for ages to install osx on this machine....without any luck.
i'm stuck at this: ioapic: version 0x21 vectors 0:23, no matter what distro i try.
i tried all the flags, cpu=1, cpu-2, etc, even tried the "plug usb stick when ioapic error happenes", nothing
the one thing that got me further was io=0x21, but this gave another error after.
i tried jas 10.4.8 distro, just because i still had the disc, and it worked! got past ioapic: version 0x21 vectors 0:23 just fine, and i was in the setup screen. which led me to the conclusion that it can be done, i just don't know how.
this laptop has a crippled bios (thanks, toshiba). it came with vista preinstalled. since i can't install snow or leo, i installed win7, hated it (i used snow on my desktop and hate using anything else), so i installed ubuntu 10.4, which is not that bad, but still it's not osx...
any ideas, people? thanks.
