Acer Aspire 5740G and Mac OS X 10.6
 

Hello everybody!

I tried to install Mac OS X on my Acer Aspire 5740G but i can't. The reason why is: i can't use my mouse or keyboard on the language selection screen while the installation.

I used:
- A original Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD from Apple
- this Boot CD: http://www.tonymacx86.com/Public/ton...BootCD.iso.zip
- and this parameters to boot: -x busratio=17

My notebook specs:
- Intel Core i5 430M
- 4GB Ram
- Motherboard: Acer Aspire 5740
- Chipset: Intel ID0044 Rev. 12
- ATI Radeon HD 5470

I hope someone can help me.

radeon's 5xxx not supported for osx

jeah, i know, but thats not the problem
now i found a way to install and finally boot os x, it runs at 1024x768.

a new problem: no usb or sd support...

I also am interested in running MACoS in this laptop. I would that you have new results post it on the forum. Thanks!
PD: sorry my bad english

I also am trying to get OSX on my acer aspire 5740G. Could you elaborate on how you got it to work? I can get it installed but my laptop keyboard and trackpad doesn't work after install.

Ive fixed the keyboard/trackpad problem (applePS2 kext). However i cannot get my resolution over 1024x768

i i have the same model but with som different hardware (instead of i5 i have an i3-330M and an ATI 5650)

i cant boot with or without this bootcd can u explain detailed please how u do that?

thanks.
