Heya, I installed iPC 10.5.6 Universal PPF5 (Final) on my notebook, and everything is wonderful except for the Wireless and Ethernet. Wireless: Intel 3945 Ethernet: Intel Pro/100 VE I selected both of their drivers during the install, and…

So I've gotten to the desktop in SnoLeo a number of times, and the EFI string I used wasn't properly identifying my 9800GX2, so I applied the same fix that worked in Leo [10.5.7] and it worked, but now after 3 seconds on the desktop I get…

Heya, I'm trying to help a friend install OSx86 on his Toshiba Satellite A215-S4817, but my iPC disc just won't go. It stops on this paragraph: google didn't help...

I have iPC PPF5 updated to 10.5.7 on my desktop. I can't do anything extraneous on it like copy 200MB. Or write code for the iPhone that has a slight bug in it. It doesn't like me multitasking or doing "big" tasks. When I do, I get the pin…

“I got that error using Chameleon RC1 and RC2 on my system too, little did I know the guide I was following had a pkg you install to help [that is Chameleon but it works for some reason, lol]. Well HERE ya go”

“Sure, that'd help me a lot, being I have a now discontinued gpu”

“Great, ty, I'll test it after I reinstall 10.6, I have too many errors, and would like to know how to make an EFI string for my 9800GX2”

“Hello from Snow Leopard! Yes that's right, it's working.^^ So far I have tested: Internet (check, working thanks to 32/64 nForceLan.kext), Sound (check, working thanks to VoodooHDA.kext), Graphics Acceleration (check, working thanks to EFI …”

“No problem, just ask if you need anything else, classes are a bit dry of homework right now [luck me], I should be able to answer whenever.”

“Here, I edited it to be a little better to read and a little more informative. Well, I'm using the "HOTiSO" download [it's just the GM version and that's the guy that put it up, don't ask me where to get it]. I wasn't doing this by myself, …”

“I have my 780i board working with ethernet and sata using the vanilla kernel and the "PC EFI 10.1.pkg" as the loader. Works well, except my graphics issue, and now this weird kernel panic referencing "warmd"”

“So having a Leopard install is a must I suppose in order for this guide to work I presume! Yes, this is the disk that regular MAC users would use, so it won't really run on your PC on boot. But if you had OS X installed, you could play with…”

“All I did to get my multi-boot working was simply install OS X [with an existing windows partiton already there], then boot with the Windows install disc and repair the boot record with command prompt [if I couldn't get right into Windows a…”

“I thought 32-bit machines were limited to 4GB of RAM. Anything over 4GB wouldn't be accessible. Or is that different with OS X? Windows 32-bit is limited to something like 2.7[some specific decimal]GB of RAM, but in the "About this MAC" win…”

“jumped back to the wireless, and out of no where, the wired started working don't know if it's going to continue working, so where's a good guide to look for updating to 10.5.7? something detailed for the semi-newcomer”

“oh you…anyways, reinstalled didn't work, booted with -v -f on the first boot with it reinstalled. granted -v -f did work once, but it's not now. I don't feel like uninstalling it, but I will if it calls for it...don't know where it's locate…”

“i've been asking on insanelymac, they have a tendency to not answer i asked there a while ago and i'm coming back to osx86 well, i know the wireless is a love/hate kind of thing atm, so umm, any adivce for the Intel Pro/100 VE NIC?”

“with some tinkering, I accidentally got this to happen: i also get kernal panics with the external wifi switch set to off [only during boot process]”

“go to your preferences. Click on your internet options. when you see your network connections(both wireless and wired). try deleting all your connections(yes all of them). then create a new one(try ethernet first). go to speedtest.net to ma…”

“you'll need the Voodoo Kernal and Seatbelt.kext fix so it'll work on your AMD system and so you can open DMG files...umm, PS/2 Keyboard fix [will work for mice and keyboards], USB Fix...ummm I'm just going by the iPC disc, I'm not sure what…”

“i suggest going back to windows real fast and finding out, or looking up your specs on compaq's site.”

“AGH! EW windows? i ONLY use it for Halo Multiplayer and Syncing my iPod, as soon as i can get ALL my iTunes and stuff on my Mac, its buh bye windows. and ill see what i can do... and I just tryed to boot my Snow Leo USB, and it KP'd... is t…”

“You need Leopard installed before you can install Snow Leopard. There are no "distro" discs yet.”

“You could probably get it running, just expect the same issues with sound, ethernet and wifi, don't know what you'd do with it with such limitations”

“If that is the case, what ATA kext would you suggest? that was the kext suggested to use for this install [because of my mobo] -=EDIT=- it did let me copy a file larger than 200MB to another HDD/Partition on the same HDD, but it eventually …”

“I've heard that deals with the boot loader.”

“I've been told that's a loader error.”
