Provide a link if possible. R: Maybe kalyway or Leo4All b ) Will I be able to update normally via Software Update? R: No.Most of them need to be patched first.You can follow a guide (if there is any or wait for some instructions).Or just run the AMD software update by Zephyroth (ASU) c) Will WiFi work?,d) Will sound work? R: I am not sure.I do not see those specs on your post (post them and you will receive some help) e) Can I install OS X with my original Leopard DVD via some sort of hack, without having to download the full cracked OS X.dmg?

Apokarteron Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 If I get an Intel laptop will I be able to update normally via Software Update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 If I get an Intel laptop will I be able to update normally via Software Update? Yes,but not all the time.Even if you have a 'vanilla install' you can brake your install.That is why is a good idea check the forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apokarteron Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 How do I do a vanilla install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 'vanilla install' means that your hardware is pretty compatible with the OS (example,an Intel Core X processor) and you can use the original kernel ('vanilla' is refered to the kernel 'vanilla':untouched.Not patched or modified).If you want to try a 'vanilla install',just check that 'option' on your menu (example:kalyway or Leo4All) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

459below Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i'm guessing ViStAUzEr didn't update his bios at all. he probably still has F.07 or F.05, is that right? in any case, i did. now i'm stuck with F.0E and can't exclude a regression of the bios since there is _NO_ way to downgrade the bios. seems like HP can't provide a bios isn't completely buggy and useless, but i still hope they are releasing a new bios soon. kinda not very likely since most of the bugs vanished while running windows. everything else still is messed up (like running the new kernel provided by ubuntu 9.04) anyways, is there any way to deactivate certain kernel features? like ACPI or such? i did try every parameter i could find, still freezes up at SMBIOS table fount at 0x000fe0b0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
