| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 I've been able to install 10.5.5 on my XPS 420, but it doesn't actually boot into the OS successfully. It just hangs at the grey Apple logo until I'm forced to restart.

| Getting audio working - iAtkos 10.5.5 Just got my installation up and running! Everything works perfectly, except there is no sound. How can I get my sound working?

| Scrolling diagonal lines on monitor I noticed on my monitor there are scrolling diagonal lines at various locations, depending on the colors being displayed. They seem to show up around shades of gray, or dark hues of other colors. System specs: System: Dell XPS 420… | Leopard 10.5 | 3,054 reads 2009-06-11 · 7 notes |

| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “Just an update, I retried the installation with the same settings, except this time I changed my SATA / IDE setting from " Intel SATA " to " JMicron ", but I still get the same error in verbose mode: "Still waiting for root device".” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-10 11,791 dossier reads |
| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “Using a program called siw.exe, I have determined that my southbridge is ich9r. I don't see that listed under the options for installation though; here are the available ones (under System drivers): SATA / IDE -- Intel SATA -- Intel AHCI SA…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-09 11,791 dossier reads |
| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “Where else could I check? The hard drive it is installed on didn't come with this machine, and it didn't come with a manual. Is there a Linux command to display that sort of information? Or a hardware scanner for Windows/Linux?” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-09 11,791 dossier reads |
| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “Out of these settings, which would be the driver(s) referring to the southbridge? iATKOS v5i Main System PC EFI V9 AppleDecrypt (added SMBIOS-EFI) 9.5.0 Kernel Voodoo Stock ACPI Modified Disabler.Kext ATI SATA/IDE > Intel SATA NTFS-3G” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-09 11,791 dossier reads |
| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “How can I verify that? Which driver (and what exactly is the southbridge)?” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-09 11,791 dossier reads |
| Getting audio working - iAtkos 10.5.5 “I dragged the file "VoodooHDA.kext" into my Extensions folder, but I got the error: "System extension cannot be used: The system extension /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.

| Scrolling diagonal lines on monitor “Nope, they're moving. They're scrolling very consistently, all in the same direction, but they're very dull. On my wallpaper, for example -- the lines exist only in the darker areas, and once I drag a different colored window over the regio…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-11 3,054 dossier reads |
| Scrolling diagonal lines on monitor “I'll give that shot eMatoS. For me though, the lines appear only in Leopard, and start immediately on bootup, even if the machine has been off the whole night.” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-11 3,054 dossier reads |
| Scrolling diagonal lines on monitor “I don't think a picture would pick up the lines, they're very subtle and small. I don't think it has a refresh button. This only happens in Mac -- I haven't seen this in Windows or Linux. I just don't want to be damaging my monitor.” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-11 3,054 dossier reads |
| XPS 420 iAtkos 10.5.5 “Thanks for the response. It stops at "Still waiting for root device"” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-06-09 11,791 dossier reads |
