I have been trying to install any distro of OS X on my laptop. It uses the MCP67/nForce560 chipset, for refrence. If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do to get it to install, and *recommened* be able to see the full size of my…

Does anyone know how to change resolutions or enable the usage of it. The only way I can get it to work, with resolustion of 1024x768 is to delete the NVDA*.kexts then system boots just fine. If anyone has a solution, please share. (Check…

“Sure! Though as far as I know, you need an existing OS X system running already. I am not sure how to inject them in windows, unless you have a Virtual machine running OS X. But here is the link that I followed, as I already had a tower tha…”

“New update: OS X Server instlalls/run perfect, with exception to NO DVD, Sound, or updates. So far this is the only one I can get running, but what good is an OS if DVD don't work so I decided to give another head shot to the other distros.…”

“Current Update: I finally got rid of the "still waiting for root" error. I realized, that the new kext's didn't copy over, so using MacDrive, I copied them over and whammo - it detects it! Now I get a new error or errors depending on what I…”

“Thanx for the link! That's where I got past my HDD reading problem when I first started. I just wish I could get his Extensions.mkext and try it, but it's not download-able. I had a thought today, I was wondering if my boot order (as listed…”

“Here's the update: I tried different things to get past "still waiting for root device". I even tried installing to the full HDD, just to make sure that it was the only thing on there, and still a no go. So I wonder, if there is something e…”

“just type it, it will show up along the bottom, i had this same question when i was new 2 Thanx! , Now I feel like a first timer n00b! %-) LOL”

“I hate to ask a stupid question at this point, but during the boot (after installation), when Chameleon shows up (Where you select which OS you want), how do I get to a command line to enter in the options I want, ( I know that pressing the…”

“Cool. Keep me posted. Hope you get it working No Prob!”

“Thanx yazz2020, I will definatley give that second one a try! As for the first one, I am not sure how to do, since the kext's are all in the Extensions.mkext (which is packed of course, since I used iDeneb 10.5.7)”

“Hi. Before you re installed did you reformat the partition to hfs+ journal extended? If not do that Yea, I do that for each re-install, just to be safe.”

“Ok, here's what happened when I booted with -v to see what was causing it to freeze. First, I re-installed and only selected 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel, and MCP67 Chipset, nothing else. Next, I then rebooted with the "-v" also tried "-v idlehalt=0…”

“Boot osx with -v for verbose boot. What's the last line before it freezes or stops loading. This should give you a clue of what's causing the stall. Also try and boot with cpus=1. See if it works. When you install osx only select minimum ke…”

“Thanx xXrkidXx, I agree, never thought of it that way though! ^_^”

“Hi. Post more info. How did you create the 20 gb partition. What other os is installed. I have a pavillion dv6 with vista, 10.5.8 and snow installed. All working well. I created 20gb partion for each osx in vista. Left it as raw. Used parte…”

“make sure you ALWAYS select Voodoo kernel. its all AMD and P4(and -) can use. If I ever get that far All the distros don't see my HD until I do a kext injection, then when it does, it messes things up during format (White diagonal lines on …”

“Hello PumaspeedDrift even i have the same configuaration just like u but my problem is everything works with the use of "idlehalt=0" and with its use fan never switches off, its always on and generates lot of heat, so i just wanna know are …”

“Most of your drivers, I know, are included with Leo4All, iDeneb, and iPC, if you laptop is close to mine, then you should also have the same chipset, graphics, (probably use NVidia Go and WIFI and Nforce ehternet.”

“You can look at my thread: Installing OS X on HP Pavilion dv6609wm and see if anything helps you there, since more than likley, your system is close to mine when it comes to hardware, thought there might be some differences.”

“Ok, here's what's new: After editing a few kexts (NVD*50HAL, NVD*40HAL, NVINJECTGO, ), system boots with out a problem. But when it gets (after fresh install), I hear movie playing, but stays on verbose screen, guess refresh rate is off, or…”
