Tried every version of OSx86, no success

briman0094 · #1 04-11-2010, 12:10 AM

Hello everybody. I am new to the whole OSx86 thing, but not new to OS X itself. I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 with the AMD Athlon X2 64 processor, and have tried every version of OSx86 except for iAtkos and Zephyros or whatever it is. I can't get any of them to work.

With iPC I get some sort of kernel panic related to APCI and Voodoo

With leo4all I couldn't get the DVD Boot to work

With Kalyway I have gotten the farthest:
It loads everything with the modbin kernel that I specify, loads the drivers, and then gives a white blank screen for about 20 seconds. After this, my laptop just restarts and continues to load Windows 7 normally. I really really really (so on and so forth...) want OS X on my laptop. I like it so much more than Windows, and it is easier to use than Ubuntu. Can anybody help me with some sort of tutorial or something?

Thanks ahead of time!

I used it on my son's Toshiba L455 and I didn't get sound or netwerking, but it does what I wanted it to.

I used the SATA and the SD drivers, removed the FireWire. Try it with the minimum, then add to it. Try going to Acer's website and search the forums, there is a section about OS X on the D250 and use the recommended settings as a start

I added NTFS read/write capabilities, and moved the User's home to the Windows 7 partition, overlapping its desktop.

What little he does stores on the desktop, and when he reboots, its on his Windows desktop and he is happy.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try it when I get done typing this post. I am also trying it right now on my old Compaq laptop with an Intel Pentium Dual Core processor and so far it looks good! It is at a light blue screen right now getting ready to load the installer (hopefully), so I hope it works at least on the old laptop.

EDIT: It turns out that it was the blue screen problem that other Intel users had, not the installer loading. I know that it would have worked if it had the right graphics driver, so I'm not gonna bother patching the .iso. I've already used like 5 DVDs and I don't want to waste more...

I tried Hazard's Snow Leopard and I have to say, the boot screen looks a lot nicer than the other ones. But I still get that kernel panic that I got with iPC: " "local APIC error\n"@/VoodooKernel/xnu-1228.7.58/osfmk/i386/mp.c:809 "

I really want to get OS X up and running (like I said above...), but it looks like I might have to give up! I wish us Toshiba InsydeH20 BIOS users could have more options, but basically we can change the time, the boot order, the password, and enable-disable LAN, Legacy USB, and SATA support.

Try to boot using cpus=1 bootflag - if it doesn't work either, please provide an photo of the full KP message, not just fragments.

OK. I tried Hazard with the "cpus=1" (and "-cpus=1", just in case it needs a dash) and it didn't work. I also tried the -x safe mode flag and it still failed. Same error. I attached a screenshot this time. I hope I can figure out a way to fix this!

keep trying different options with Hazards. I had the same thing, and I honestly don't remember what I selected. Just keep trying
