cottonswab Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I had a similar problem on my 10.5.1 install (kalyway) but I solved it with a $15 microsoft comfort curve OEM keyboard and mouse combo (USB). PS/2 doesn't work on my system either. You can try selecting the vanilla kernal with PS/2 support and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well if you searched the forum for PS2 fix or googled "PS2 fix insanelymac" you will get LOTS of Answers! Use the second one! It boils down to what cottonswab said...... StiCMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roon83 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 You can try selecting the vanilla kernal with PS/2 support and see if that works. How do I select the Vanilla kernel with the PS/2 support at the start. The GUI setup is not usable because of that PS/2 issue. I am new to OSX86 so I don't know much about it. Plz help me.

cottonswab Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sorry about the delay, but since the mac is not PS/2 friendly, I'd suggest you get yourself a USB mouse. Or borrow a USB mouse to get things going. The install doesn't like PS/2 and USB (KB or Mouse) in a mix and match configuration. Then just install as usuall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osxbubba Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 This kind of post is what makes this whole process so frustrating... The below is pure BS, and way too broad a comment to have any meaning at all! If you try to install Leo4All V3 on an NForce platform, you'll quickly find that PS/2 keyboards and mice are ALL that will work! USB devices are not at all recognized until you boot into the OS! BTW, PS/2 devices work just fine in the OS, thank you very much... Far`too many misinformed people making guesses or useless suggestions...

roon83 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 So what should I do now use the leo4allV3 or buy the USB mouse and keyboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonswab Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 OSXBUBBA, originally the post was using the Kalyway install if you had followed the thread. Not all motherboards and combinations work on every motherboard. Sometimes its a BIOS issue which causes some feature to not work. Others can be BIOS settings in itself and soemtimes updating the BIOS fixes things. As for USB under Kalyway, I used a USB mouse and Keyboard, and it worked during boot when I did my install using the Kalayway DVD so again you cannot apply your install to "ALL" installs because you haven't tested "every" piece of hardware out there - this is why this place is for all types of help. For roon83, if you don't mind downloading the leo4all and trying that then go for it and I hope it works for you, but getting a cheap USB mouse isn't that big a deal and they're cheap like $5-10. And if the leo4all doesn't work then you might try upgrading the BIOS. It's all trial and error when things go smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roon83 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 cottonswab thanks for your reply. I'll try both. My mobo's BIOS is already the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roon83 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 today i tried to install Kalyway and Leo4allv3 with USB mouse and keyboard. Leo4all doesn't mount HD partitions. Kalyway loads the partitions fine and installs every thing fine but now after the installation I can't boot into OS-X. The Darwin starts to load and after one or to lines the PC reboots. I am dualbooting it with XP. Plz help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roon83 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hurray finally I can boot into Mac OS X. I just reinstalled the OS with some better options(using Kalyway 10.5.2). Last time I messed up the installation by selecting too many things. I am posting this message from Leopard. Everything seems to be working fine. Thank you all for helping me install Mac OS X on my PC. This is a wonderful and truly helpful community. Thank you Kaly for making such a fine installation DVD. My PC's Hardware info is in the first post (I changed my mouse and Keyboard to USB as cottonswab and sticman suggested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarelo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Roon83, I have the same mobo, and am thinking about installing Kalyway 10.5.2, my question is, are you using your onboard sound and LAN? Do they work? Does de SATA controller work OK? I´m trying to get this questions out of the way before installing... Thanks in advance, McArelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, McArelo motherboard's onboard LAN is not in working condition so I bought a realtek RTL 8139 PCI ethernet. it's the most common LAN card and cheap too. Onboard sound is working OK. SATA Hard Disk is also working. i am currently dual booting it with windows XP( 15 GB for Mac) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarelo Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 have you tried forcedeath drivers for the lan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roon83 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 have you tried forcedeath drivers for the lan? The onboard LAN on my MOBO is faulty so it is unusable. I can't confirm this or should I say I am unable to confirm it. here's another thread. This guy tried to install it on Zephyroth's Mac but failed You can try it on Kalyway maybe it will work.
