If you don't want to pirate OS X, you can also create a custom 132 bootloader cd for your system, that makes you able to make use of a retail DVD, but that's a bit more pretentious...

Hello,

I have a HP Pavillon 8150 Dual Core 2,8 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 64 bits capable, with NVidai graphic card EN8800 GT. I run Leopard 10.5.8 on it without any problem with a mach.kernel.voodoo.

I would like to know is if this computer is capable of running SL (a dual core). I tried to install it once, but after the boot, I got just the Apple icon without the spinning wheel.

Thank you for your answer.

I am a little concerned that when i boot, Darwin reports the following
VESA 3.0 14MB (NVIDIA). As far as i can gather that is reporting the video memory wich is supposed to be 512, not 14. Any ideas on that ?
Regards
W

Actually, I didn't found any other solutions so... Maybe others distributions are out? Can someone tell me one distribution that may work with my computer?

Thanks!

Imkantus if you are still there, I am obliged to do so, otherwise the CD won't boot up! When I but up in every distros, it makes a kernel error. But, i'll try your link.

So i've tried iAtkos, Kalyway, ToH and iDeneb v3. So here are the errors: iAtkosv7: It closes when starting loading (the grey on white background Apple Logo.) Kalyway: Same thing as iAtkos. ToH: Stucks on Using 10485... iDeneb: Same thing as ToH if putting: maxmem=2048 platform=ACPI -x otherwise, if I do not put maxmem=2048, Still waiting for root device.

I made the iDeneb installation, but it doesnt detect my SATA hard drive so I installed it on my USB Key. I have a IDE hard drive, but I cannot plug it at the same time as my IDE DVD Drive... I want to know if I can transfer my installation to a Hard Drive Disk. Thanks for helping..
