“oK man, the wifi card is a broadcom. But I cant seem to get this card going with iatkos 7 as there are no broadcom driver options in the install. Any suggestions?”

“...make the gfx card on this lappie "X3100" pretty popular set by intel”

“Sorry, mate, I will try to get the info to you. I have heard others say it is a broadcom wireless. Does "802.11b/g WLAN" mean anyting? And do you know of anyone who has one of these laptops running Snow? I tried using some config files by a…”

“Hi, not sure what you mean by wifi card man, but here are the specs of the lappie. I think the AppleACPIPlatform.kekxt is modified. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF06a/321957-321957-3329742-89318-89318-3466274.html”

“Hi slic, I have a compac presario c700 and everything works with iatkos 7 except wireless and my lappie is getting hot with the fan spiking every 30 seconds or so. Do you have or know of a kext that would help me out?”

“It is I again , with the laptop compaq presario. Well, believe it or not I have Snow working propperly on this lappie. Yes! believe it brother it is true! Only problem is that the machine is getting rather hot and the fan keeps spiking ever…”

“Hi dude, yes the pics were taken from within Snow 10.6. Nah its all good. Thanks a million for all your help. I can run Leo 5.3 without dramas so I'll keep doing that until something like Kalyway or iatkos comes along.”

“Righty then…here are the pics you requested. The first one is from sys profile, the second is some extra information that may be helpful from display profile. And...rather off topic, the third pic is what it tells me on reboot after I insta…”

“Ok man sounds great! Well, actually your hackie which I used to boot with does give full rez at 1280x800 but it defaulted me back to 800x600 or something on reboot after I installed the voodoo_dmg file (not one of yours). I have just tried …”

“Well, the gfx seem to work, but it doesnt like rebooting into the gfx card after install. Every time I fire up the usb with Snow image and your funky file set, it reaches the install screen every time. Its odd that it does this after instal…”

“Hey man, I downloaded and installed (per your instructions) the x300 files and i get an error on this line "sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/Leopard" saying it could not umount the drive or find the UUID? It then seems to complete t…”

“Ok mate, I kind of guess that that would be your answer I'll try it out real soon.”

“ok dude...Gr8! But 1 question before I start. I see that "battery 1" has an installer file while "battery 2" includes only the kext. How can I restore from a bad install of this file (to battery 2 if need be) if lappie doesnt like it? I can…”

“Oh, another thing mate…I dragged the kexts files voodoo.kext and powermanagement.kext over the Kext Helper v7. Now I have the battery meter but fan is still spiking and things are getting hot. Also the GFX card has defaulted to 1024/768 res…”

“…Looks like our new Snow install didn't like the Voodoo.battery.dmg proggie. I used it on my previous install to fix the fan and heat issues. But when I installed it onto the new OS it brought up an error with its string name in boot before…”

“Ok thanks again! All installed, usb drive unplugged rebooted and had no dramas but I don't believe I have sound or correct batter/power modulation. The fan keeps sparking and things are getting hot. I installed the voodoo batter.dmg (which …”

“Brilliant! Just Brilliant I say! Now boots into Snow Installer quick as a flash too! So do I still need to follow any Terminal commands before I begin install (as you said in the instructions beginning of post) And what about other stuff? T…”

“Thanks man! I followed your instruction including the "cpus=1" command and the new Natit.kexts but I'm still getting the blank white screen. Here are some pics of what console is saying before the white screen comes up.”

“I forgot to comment. The external usb drive I am using is one of these: wdc .com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=561 And so fare I have had some SUCESS! now I get past all the text in chameleon boot but it hangs at the white screen before …”

“Hi djnitehawk. Thanks for all this info. I will have a look at it this morning and get back to you with my results -Simon”

“Something wacky is going on with the site/download. When I dload and open the file, nothing is in it. Can you please attache and mail it to me: "[email protected] Man”

“Is ti the NullCPUPowermanagement.kext? Dude I cant download the file...it keeps wanting to save it as html?”

“What the hell was with that black txt. Sorry man”

“Hey djnitehawk, I can feel the karma flowing through your coding into cyberspace already! If you can get me into this new OS I'll be in Nirvana…Snow style Nah! just kidding Anyway, here is the processor: Intel® Celeron® Processor 560 • 2.13…”

“Thanks for your speedy reply. Ok, it appears these lappies have a rather basic bios. Sata option 'on' or 'off' no ahci or hpet. But I have attached the boot error pic and DPCI system info your requested. If you can get it working for me I a…”

“I have kalyway 5.3 running flawlessly on this laptop. But I have run practically every guide out thiere including this one by djnitehawk and I still get a hanging issue or kernel panic cpu not recognised etc when trying to load S leopard. I…”

“I have a Presario c700 and I can run Kalyway 10.5.4 flawelessly. But as soon as the install is finished with iATKOS 7 it boots giving me the shutdown screen. Can someone please tell me what kind of options I need to tick in the 'customize' …”

“You need to get the latest version of the os. iATKOS v7...it has heaps more options for your cpu. Once you have aquired a copy and burned the iso to a bootable disk, go into the 'customise' propperties and select the 'kernel' designed for a…”

“This is unrelated but can someone please tell me how to post a new topic?”

“Yes, do a search for 'voodoobattery.kext' There should be plenty of various ones floating around the net.”

“Oh, I'd better upload the pics hey Have a 1”
