I tried the latest Empire EFI iso.
After booting as expected I insert the Snow Leopard DVD (retail 5-license version) I get to a point where I am asked to "press any key" and when I do that, the Toshiba reboots.

I have not tried the other method yet with iAtkos. I am at a point where I don't want to spend ages on this, I have decided to purchase a refurbished Macbook Pro 17" 2.23GHz for $999, which was a steal I thought.

I most likely will take this Winblows 7 machine back to Staples and get refunded.

Normally (almost never) do I give up on something, but it appears that the hardware may be too new to install Mac OSX on it.

When I was rebooting the Winblows 7 a couple of times, after changing one of the partitions, I got the BSOD pop up with some kind of crazy Windows memory error. LOL.. I'll be glad to take it back.

unless there is still hope to change this thing into a Mac...

I sent you the link to the correct x4500.kext in a PM.

or you can just download my Kext Pack for the Toshiba L305 here: http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/toshiba-l305-kext-pack-official-release-t5361/

The kext pack has all you need to get Leopard and snow Leopard fully working ( except for QuartzExtreme) on the Toshiba L305.

Hello! I've recently become really fond of the Mac OS, since we have an iMac at school.

I have three computers, but I want Mac OS X to run on my new laptop, which is a Toshiba Qosmio X500-10Z.

Since I'm new to all of this, all I've managed to do is install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on the laptop. I couldn't boot with the CD, my laptop would just reboot itself after "Starting Darwin x86" or something like that (I tried various busratios and cpus=1 stuff, nothing worked). Anyways, I have a desktop with Core i7 920 and a HD5870 so I was able to install Mac through that computer. Now, however, to start the OS I have to enter in -x (Safemode?) and then it'll boot up properly.

Nothing works though, LAN, WiFi, graphics, sound... it's all "dead".
It has an Atheros AR8131 for LAN, the WiFi is a Realtek RTL8191SE, the graphics is a nVIDIA GTS 250M, and the sound is a conexant pebble HD smartaudio thingie. Oh, also, the processor is a Core i7 720QM. I believe the chipset is PM55.

Is this computer simply too new for the Mac OS? Or is its components perhaps never going to be supported?

If only I could get the graphics card working and either LAN or WiFi... plus sound... :(

i have a toshiba L455 and it has almost the same specs as your laptop but it has a pentium dual core processor. The only distro I've gotten to work is the snowosx distro. I tried all of the different kexts for wifi and sound but none of them work!

Hi,got me an old Toshiba L30 113 celron laptop and iatikos 5 and ipc 10.5.6,what should i install in customize section of installers and which distro is better to use,i currently have iatikos installed but have a root device error and cant get it to run,thanks.

00010 04-07-2010 08:25 PM

Well, I tried iPC as-well I could not even get the DVD to boot-up, let alone install, but if it works I suggest iPC, but if you want to use iAtkos ( which I like better) then after installtion type:

rd=disk0

0r

rd=disk0s1

0r

rd=disk0s2

0r

rd=disk0s3

and if you find one that boots properly edit you apple.com.boot.plist with that entry.
