eMachine W3619 Install Guide
I have successfully installed iPC 10.5.6 PPF2 on the eMachine W3619.
This machine is FULLY compatible, everything works!
This is how I did it...
Things you will need...
1. An eMachine W3619 (ofcourse)
2. iPC 10.5.6 PPF2 or greater.
3. About an hour of your time.
Step 1 Booting the DVD.
To boot the the iPC DVD just leave the default BIOS settings and hit F10 at the BIOS boot splash, and you will be taken to the boot selection menu. Open the DVD-RW tray and put your iPC DVD in, use the arrow keys to select the boot option "CD-ROM" and it will start booting the DVD, Next you will see the Darwin Loader screen, just a black with white text page, at this page press F8, then this will take you to a prompt, now type "-v" (without the quotes ofcourse) now the DVD should boot into the Leopard installer.
Step 2 Setup.
Here we are at the Language selection page... Here select your language.
Now to setup the hard drive, go to "Utilities" and then go to "Disk Utility"
and select your hard drive. (not the partition but the HARD DRIVE) Now click the "Partition" tab and go on to select in the list only to have 1 partition and now click options and make sure you have the "GUID" partition map selected, now name the disk as you wish. Then exit the "Disk Utility" when its done, after that hit "Continue" then you will be asked where to install Leopard, you should select the hard disk that you just prepared in "Disk Utility".
Step 3 The "Customize" Button.
Please select ONLY these options under this menu.
Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel
Intel GMA 950 Graphics
R1000 NIC
ALC883 Sound
Seatbelt.kext
ANV MacPro SMBios
GenericCPUPowerManagement <---This is needed because without this kext the system fan is erratic.
Step 4 Installation...
Now that you have selected the right options for your install, now is the time to actually install...
After you exit the "Customize" menu hitting the "Done" button you can now hit the "Install" button in the installer window. After you do so it should check the DVD ( DO NOT SKIP THE DVD CHECK ) , after the install finishes it will restart.
Step 5 Post install.
Well after you have restarted from the install, you'll notice that your resolution is kinda funky ain't it? Just go to the "System Settings" and adjust your resolution. Now you need to repair your permissions in the "Disk Utility" and reboot.
Step 6 ( Well there really ain't a Step 6 unless you consider sitting back and enjoying a fully working OSx86 install heh heh... )
