Hey guys so this is my first post I'm running a HP DV6529em laptop. Its running Windows 7 on it's internal hdd.

I am trying to get kalyway working I have so far got it installed on a USB pendrive that, I couldnt install it on my internal hdd as none of the distors would recognise it.

Anyway I have kalyway installed and its pretty useless unless I boot lwith these parameters -x -v -s -f cpus=1

after a 30 seconds or so I get this and I now need help.

root device is mounted read-only

if you want to make modifactions to files:

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

if you wish to boot the system:

exit

:/root#

what am i surpose to do here ??? please help

You've bootet into the non-graphical single user modus (-s parameter) and now you're up and running with Darwin.

How do we know what you want to do from on here ... ?

well i want to see the mac desktop and get everything working. darwin is working you say well thats magic but how do I get it to work as an apple os what should I do

If it doesn't boot up properly, you should try to boot up with just -v parameter, which means verbose mode, so you see all the system messages within boot-up.

The more you need to provide detailed infos about you're hardware if you like to receive help on this.

Well the most important component is missing: your mainboard. If it's a mobile computer the used Chipset & things like that.
Best info about your components is allmost the output lspci command - but I see you are not able to handle Unix / Linux related systems...

Regarding to your error I just found this topic on an other OSx86 board:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...hp/t82413.html

As it says something about network, the error might be different when booting up in safemode (-x) which doesn't load network extensions.
But I think trying around with this is a waste of time. Kalyway is a quite outdated prepatched OS X distribution, which has a lack of support for a lot hardware. I recommend you to get one more up to date one, like iAtkos v7 or iPC OSx86 - maybe one of those will also support your Southbridge, so that you can install to your HD, but I can't make a statement on that without usefull HW info.

Well with your nForce 630M chipset, it should be no problem to make a HD installation with one of the two OSx86 distributions, I mentioned above. Also Broadcom wireless card sounds good so far, though your system report doesn't mention which one you've got.

So I would definetly give one of them a try.
