Thanks for the pointer to which image to use.

Ok I have installed it, and after much trial and error ( about 10 installs) I have a very good install which I am very happy with. It is as stable as my Samsung NC10

Ok so I used the install image

XxX_x86_10.5.6_Install_Disc_Universal_Final.v2

I have the following Laptop

Toshiba Equium A100-02L (Satellite P100)
Model No. PSAAQE-00P00KAV

Change the setting in the BIOS ( This is very Important otherwise OSX keeps restarting)
In the Advanced Page
Change Execute-Disable Bit Capability to Available ( was Not Available)

Start setup , and at the customize screen select the following


Optional system kexts
->smbiosResolver

Chipset Support
->ICHx Chipset Support
->New ICHx (ICH10)

GraphicDrivers
->Intel GMA Graphics->GMA950->GMA950

AudioDrivers
OtherAudioControllers->AppleAzaliaAudio

PowerManagement
-> ACPIBattery

Others
->PCCARd Fix
->IOPCMCIAFamily.kext
->KeyboardPrefPane 10.5.5
->TrackpadPrefPane Fix


Then Install OSX

I also then added the UK keyboard layout form the NC10 page here

Everything is working Except

LAN... I tried all kinds of kexts including the one on the install disk for the intel pro/100 VE, even folling some posts to edit he files and inserting the Vendor info etc, I still have had no luck...If anyone has success , please let me know TIA

Wireless
intel pro wireless 3945ABG ... No Drivers available, I have replaced with a Dell 1490 card which cost £14 . It was really easy to install, It is located under the keyboard, and involves removing 4 screws...takes about 5 minutes...so now is all working lovely

SD Card ...Not tried, but apparently doesn't work...I'm not bothered about this really.

So all the rest pretty much works, I get about 2 hours 15 mins out of the battery, 2 cores are active and it scores 1128 on the GeekBench results site

Sleep works fine, and even sleeps when connected to the power supply (unlike my NC10), the only problem, is that on waking up, for some reason it looks like the '7' key is stuck ( which it isn't) but all you have to do is drop the cursor in a text field (I use Spotlight) and you will see the 7's apearing, press any key, and the 7's stop... now you can carry on as normal... bit of a pain, but its OK. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have a fix?

I'm not saying that my settings are the best, but certainly a great place to start. If you come up with any improvements on my settings, please come back and post, or PM me so I can improve mine too.

I now have another fully working (as far as I need) mac. by only replacing the wireless card which was a 5 minute job.

I hope this helps anyone that needs it, if you need any help, just PM me..If I can help ,I will.Lets try and get a good base for the Tosh
P100 Intel chipset laptops going.

Please also could you submit your install options when you are happy
