Hey Lawless, Progress!!!
OK, so I installed windows 7 Beta, and then immediately booted into my Lawless PPC distro. Once installed I booted into the OS via the hard drive, which I can only do if i select change boot order and select the hard drive. It won't boot unless I do so, it gives me an error saying can't locate boot/Plist. I need to fix that so I can just push power and let it boot. When I booted it told me that my broadcom wireless card kexts arent working and need to be reinstalled. But the touchpad and keyboard built into the laptop were working. When I rebooted they weren't working anymore.
So I love the distro, worked great, I just need help with a couple of things The laptop is a HP dv2125nr Problems: 1. I can't boot directly into the HD, I have to press escape at first of boot to change boot device order, then I have to select the HD. I want to be able to power on the laptop and let it boot into the OS. 2. Built in touchpad and keyboard aren't working, I want to be able to use them, obviously. 3. Mini-PCI Broadcom Wi-Fi card doesn't work. Any suggestion on kexts to install? I will keep you updated on my progress. Hope to hear some help soon. Thanks everyone, and especially you LawlessPPC!!! Great distro!!! |

Try this for your wireless should work like an airport once done http://www.neonkoala.co.uk/index.php...eless&Itemid=3 Also you need to tell the bios to have your osx drive as the first one to boot from in boot devices. Thats entering the bios not just escape for temp drive boot. Probably get to the bios with f2 or delete. Then I would reinstall chameleon bootloader from within OSX |

Update on HP dv2125nr Install
OK, I remember seeing PS2 kexts when booting in verbose. the weird thing is, the mouse and keyboard will work at random times, but never right after boot, and sometimes they don't work even if I leave the hack running for a couple of hours. And which kext would I install besides the one that is there?
I checked my wireless card and it is using the 4311 device id, so it is installed in the directory and running. When I did the steps after adding some other possible device id's it said that i didn't have permission, and I am logged in as the admin. My hard drive is my first boot option in my bios, I think the problem is that I need to have "cpus=1" added to the boot.plist and can't figure out how to do that. Also when I just boot and let darwin do its thing, it gives me the error that it can't find com.apple.boot.plist. Also, how would I reinstall chameleon bootloader from within OSX? One more thing is that the audio works sporadically like the keyboard and mouse??? Not real sure, I figured it would be a working or nonworking thing all the time, not variably. Sorry for being such a noob, I just really want this to work, and can't figure it all out on my own. EDIT: Ok, found the com.apple.boot.plist and added the boot flags that I have to use to boot, namely -f cpus=1. Last edited by kalaupboyd; 02-12-2009 at 02:32 PM. |

Something broke.
Ok, after erasing and re-installing and updating I have a nice working install.
Except... Before when I installed, I installed sound by using an ALC883 Package I downloaded. It worked fine. Some installs afterward I used a driver and it gave me all the available ports, Included the Headphone and Mic Port at the front panel. Now none of the drivers seem to work. System Profiler says: Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x1458A002 Audio ID: 883 Available Devices: Line Out: Connection: 1/8 inch Jack Microphone: Connection: Internal Line In: Connection: 1/8 inch Jack Headphone: Connection: 1/8 inch Jack S/P-DIF Out: Connection: Optical but I have no sound, the option to show the vol control in the menu bar is there but upon enabling it there is just a blank space where it's supposed to be? How do I remove those ALC883 packages and start over? Or...fix my problem? |

Kernel Panic?
After completing the install of Lawless PPC 10.5.4 I reboot and go through the Darwin bootloader then the Mac logo pops up with a pinwheel. Then it just stops, and eventually I get a message that says I need to reboot (in about 4 languages). So I reboot, and the same thing happens again. I tried -s and -v boot flags but they don't help. Can you provide some advice as to what to do next to get it up and running - this is the 1st distro where I've gotten this far.

AppleNForce found 0 units mDNS responder[27]: couldn't read user-specified local host name; using..... IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out wiating for kernel symbols AppleNForce found 0 units then it goes to a black screen and I have to reboot I also tried -v -f with the same result. I did a little bit of poking around and found this kext IOATAFamily.kext. Will this help me? UPDATE: I retried this installation with a 100GB USB drive - it worked! I was booted into the mac video and set up my system. No sound, no Ethernet. Now that the system is working, can I install additional kexts and eventually transfer the image to another HDD? I realize you don't have time to provide me with all the answers, but a short response is appreciated - this is my first successful install of OSX86.
