I am new to MacOS, but not computers in general. I have an Acer Aspire 5810TZ Laptop, that I would like to install MacOS X Snow Leopard 64bit on. The computer came with Windows 7 64bit, which I have erased, and currently have Ubuntu Linux…

This is a modification of the default theme for Chameleon. I have tested it on RC3 and RC4. This theme allows you to make your boot screen look like an OEM graphical bootloader. Included are logos for many popular computer manufacturers,…

I installed iAtkos V7 (Leopard) on my Laptop Acer Aspire 5810TZ Intel Pentium 1.3Ghz 800Mhz FSB Intel GMA 4500M 4GB DDR3 Memory I am multi booting with several partitions. 1 Mac OSX Leopard 2 Windows 7 Home Premium 3 Ubuntu Root 4 Ubuntu…

“Ok I found some kexts for the Atheros Ethernet port. Here's the link. http://code.google.com/p/iats/ I haven't got it working correctly though. When I try to install it, I keep getting the "the system extension cannot be used" error. UPDATE…”

“I finally got everything installed correctly. To triple boot, I installed Leopard first, Windows 7 next, then Ubuntu last. Windows 7 changed the bootloader so you couldn't boot anything but Windows 7, and deleted the partition Ubuntu was in…”

“Well, I followed your directions, and I got Leopard installed on here. It seems to be working so far. I'm hoping to get wifi and ethernet working on here asap.”

“Thanks. I'll update you when I get this downloaded. It'll probably be tomorrow or the next day.”

“Ok, I looked at the specs for your computer, and it has a different processor. Yours has a Core 2 Duo, and mine is a Pentium Mobile Processor. Will that make a difference in the install?”

“Ahh, thank you. I found the iAtkos torrent, and am working on downloading it now. I appreciate the help. I'm going to wipe my hard drive to install this, so what order should I install my operating systems? Windows 7, Windows XP, Ubuntu and…”

“Ok, I figured out part of the problem. I wasn't selecting the Kexts to install. I thought they were installed automatically with each distro. So I did that, and when I rebooted, it loaded Chameleon and the Apple logo came up, and it gave me…”

“Here's the Panic Error I get. Sorry the camera isn't that great.”

“Ok, I installed Ubuntu Linux in another partition. This installed GRUB (bootloader) Now I get the option to boot MacOSX, but when I try it, it gives me the Darwin Kernel Panic. I'm stuck here.”

“Ok, I got it installed, but now it's not booting. It doesn't recognize the OS.”

“Ok, I got this to work. Now I'm working in the Disk Utility. Like I said, I want to multiboot this. I'm hoping to run Snow Leopard, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu. I would also like to run Live Android, but I can't get the installer disc…”

“I've messed with the Bios settings, and I don't think it had the right options for me to change. The option available to change is "SATA Mode." the options available are AHCI Mode and IDE Mode. I changed it to AHCI, like a tutorial told me,…”

“It didn't even get to the installer, it kernel panicked before I could install it.”

“Awesome dude. No WiFi yet, but this dude at Project Camphor is working on them. I tried a beta version from kexts.com, but it kernel panicked my computer, and I had to reinstall. Anyway, I'm trying to upgrade my installation to Snow Leopard…”

“Awesome, I'm gonna download that now and see if I can get it working on mine. Did you burn it to a disc or can you just mount it once you're already in the previous install of Leopard? I'm outta discs at the moment.”

“I reinstalled it again, so I got it working correctly. I think how it's setup is Grub launches Darwin to load OSX. I'm not positive. I don't know how to add arguments to the Darwin command. Anyway, I got just reinstalled, and I decided not …”

“I'm totally new to this, so forgive me. How do I boot into Darwin from GRUB bootloader? I found a way that you can edit the command line first before booting, but I don't know where to add the -s.”
