my leopard install on my TC4400 Options

[robust]

i'm trying to learn this. i've learned some while trying to install leopard on my hp tc4400. i have never tried this before, leopard or tiger. so new to os x86.

anyway, im using the toh rc2 install, and i got it to install after a few tries and it boots. but then, if i dont put any flags in via f8, it will show the grey apple screen and then bring up the kernel panic message.

if i use the -legacy flag, it will go further, it will start to load then show the purpleish animation and will do a kernel panic when that is finished.

i dont know what else to try. i was going off of the guide http://osx86.thefreesuite.com/leo_intel.php and then searched around and found the legacy flag. the guy who wrote that tutorial says to disable speedstep in the bios but i cant find that anywhere.

the safe mode flag, -x, doesnt seem to do anything and the cpus=1 doesnt seem to do anything either.

im off to sleep now, 3:30am, but hopefully one of you experienced guys can help. thanks.

ok, sweeet. got it to run, have to put in verbose flag and x86pc platform, and single core since i have a core 2 duo.

anyway! cool.

but, sound, lan, wireless dont work. i think 3945 intel wireless is a problem but it seems like people report success for their LAN, i have a broadcom 5751 (14e4 16fd) and people have reported success. but mine seems to work with the kext i installed but there's no MAC (00:00...) and i cant set the address because it says 'network is down', not sure what i have to do to give it a mac.

what do you think?

my problem is pretty much as same as yours. I have installed Leopard into HP nc4400. I have Intel wireless 3945 and a broadcom 5751 (14e4 16fd) too. Audio, LAN and wireless don't work too. Look like we get exactly same problem. I am keeping searching and please let me know if you find any solutions. Thanks.

Hey, Guys... I got my HP nc4400 LAN work now. As I mentioned above, my LAN is broadcom 5751 (14e4 16fd). I got a kext from the forum here, http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=58819. Even the guide is writen for Mac OS X 10.4.9, but it did work for my Leopard.

Good luck!

Have you gotten OSx86 to work on your computer? If so how do you like it? Was it an easy proccess to get it all working? Are you dual booting as well? What about the tablet screen, did you get pen input set up? Sorry for all the questions I am just very interested in this and I too have a tc4400 that I might be trying to get OSx86 installed on.

Hey man,
Both the TC4400 and the NC4200+4400 CAN use a Broadcom hp internal wireless pci card swap (google tc4200 or tc4400 or nc4200 or nc4400+service and maintenance guide) HP pn#377408-001 is confirmed Broadcom and I swapped it from the intel piece o' pooh that mine tablet came with into my tc4200 and it works by default in both JAS10.4.8 and Kalyway 10.5.1. Im prett sure appleazalia will fix your audio. LAN simply worked on my installs. I got the wireless chip for like 12 bucks online. Do the swap and make yourselves happy... Intels wireless cards suck

in kalyway 10.5.2

[seventynine]

hi, i have an NC4400 and i was wondering how far anyone got? the kext for the lan returns a dud link, i've tried with a few others to no avail. and i'm in a little over my head

so far the problems are, audio only showing up 2 channels instead of 6 so sound doesn't work

wireless is apparently a no-go, if others have swapped for a different wireless card then i might be on doing hat

LAN, apparently easy, my vendor and device ID are the same as above

[mantis81]

hello!

in kalyway 10.5.2 at the installation phase what options/patches/kernels do you choose to install? Which kernel do you use for booting and which flags?

Thank you in advance!

[TheQuantumByte]

I also installed kalyway 10.5.1 onto my hp tc4400

I cant get wireless and tablet pen to work..

Anyone know of fixes for these?



UPDATE: I got audio to work: just download and install the attached file.

Thank you very much for the audio!!!

Do you have any news on the wifi?

Nope, the Intel 3945BG does not work under OS X. I bought a D-Link DWA-110 USB WLAN adapter that works fine

Nothing for the tablet pen/digitizer!

[sionk]

Hi everyone, i'm new here

I managed to install Leopard on my external hardrive. the sound problem is fixed. Still, i couldn't use the LAN connection.

Also, whenever i try to switch the screen back from the external LCD to my tc4400 it just crash

Any knows how to fix these?

Thanks a lot

Lets creat our iHP


in kalyway 10.5.2

I have an HP TC4400 and trying to get the MAC OS X installed on it. I started this wonderful process using iAtkos v2.0 and i get a 'still waiting for root device' error. i then tried using ideneb 10.5.5 with and without the nForce patch. i was able to successfully install, however, when attempting to boot (with -v) i recieve 'jettisoning kernal linker' <attached>. i also attempt to boot with -v -s and i recieve a kernal panic (the restart screen).

I have read the previous posts and maybe i should install with kalyway 10.5.2, as it seems sandr has got it to work using this. i have not tried any other flags such as cpus=1 or verbose.

would anyone mind providing the steps (install customization, flags, tapping the tablet twice on the side and once on the top, etc...) they took to install OS X on their TC4400 so i dont have to shoot in the dark?

Thank you for your help,

Shakedown

Has anyone had success getting dual core working on the TC4400? If so, which distribution/kexts did you use?
