QUOTE (lhlhenry @ Mar 19 2008, 11:17 PM)  Hi Jsl, I just saw that you have a pr600 laptop. I tried in vain to install kalyway´s leopard. It seem to get a kernel panic on install and then constant reboots. Can you tell me how did you managed to install on it? Thank you a lot. Before installation you should prepare 3 items: (1) Modified BIOS by Kabyl (2) External USB DVD-ROM or DVD-R/W device for booting DVD (3) External VGA monitor for booting screen My experience is using Kalyway Intel 10.5.1 DVD for booting and complete your installation. Rebooting with cpus=1 -v -f -s. Then edit your com.apple.Boot.plist and IONetworkingFamily.kext (AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext's Info.plist for 816810ec) for internal Ethernet card. For audio: using AppleHDA Patcher 1.20 and 883_Asus_P5KC_codec_dump.txt For display: using special Natit.kext and Apple ..X3100FB.kext from this board Another method without Natit.kext: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=94821 (I just got it working tonight.) After rebooting and repair permissions you should get everything working perfectly ! |

hi to all!
I need some help, pleeeese! ;-) I have an asus A8SC ( z99S, T7500, nvidia 8400M, matushita dvd W), i tried to install: toh 10.4.8, jas 10.4.8 and kalyway 10.5.1 ... but no one boot from dvd (the notebook restarts continuously, using -x -legacy and cpus=1 too). Using vmware only jas boots, so I tried to install tiger in a partition, the installation ends but grub doesn't recognize the new OS (neither automatically neither editing menu.lst). I noticed that the partition size (in tigher installer) is wrong, the partition (and the entire hd) results smaller. I mounted the hfs+ partition using ubuntu, it seems all right ... what's wrong in my notebook? Someone can help me? Pleeeeeeeeeese Thanks |

Ask Kabyl for a modified BIOS because you dont need the cpus=1 kernel flag if you have a hacked BIOS

I guess it's similar to my MSI PR600's problem. The reason you need add cpus=1 is due to the interference by Natit.kext &/or AppleX3100 related kext/bundles. You can activate your duo cores function if you disable X3100 graphics and using VESA only. |

Kabyl,
when you'll need some support testing the new kext, let us know. I modded succesfully my Asus BIOS using your file, but I'd like to try installing Leo on my sister's Asus, without any risk... Thanks ! Max |

Can I request a bios mod for both the Asus U1F and Asus V2S.
U1F bios at http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/U1F/U1Fas205.zip V2S bios at http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/V2S/V2S301AS.zip Thanks in advance. BTW, can anyone tell me how they got their 965 chipset with Geforce 8600M GS 256M working. I am thoroughly stuck on this one. |

So now we have working cores, what Asus laptop model is the best for Leopard? I see in many people's sigs that a lot of the hardware still doesn't work, particularly wireless, ethernet, sound, bluetooth, webcam, and media adapters.

I have an ASUS F3SV, If you haven't done one of these already I'd really like to get this modded: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/F3Sv/F3Sv208AS.zip
That is a link to the newest BIOS (208) that came out earlier this month. |
