Guys,
I just acquired one of these boxes and have run into some issues getting things running! I have a triple boot of Ubuntu, XP and OS X... There doesn't seem to be too many other people who have this model and for those who do they seem to be having as many issues as me. I am running 10.4.8 Jas patched. I just got both processors running by adding platform=ACPI to the boot.plist -before I received kernel panic with both CPU's running. It shows processor 1, core 2 under profiler (this is correct I am assuming).. I have QE / CI running but only at 1024x768 & did get it up to 1400 at one point (going to take this 1 at a time) although I would love to get 1680x1050 running (is this an EDID problem?) with this x1600... Bluetooth is also running (good as I love my bluetooth) but audio isn't . I have tried many of the kexts for HD audio but can only get it to say it is there, not actually output audio.. It is far from a fully working system, but closer than many others are. Has anyone gotten the onboard Intel Wirless to work? Last but not least, I do not have any PCMCIA cards to test is this is working, anyone? Well I hope we can all come together and share some knowledge and get this baby running. Respectfully, TVO |
