PaPeR_pLaNe Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 This would be something interesting to do since i actually own nc6000, only problem i might have is maybe sluggish video as mine system only has 32MB video ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPeR_pLaNe Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Well i managed to install kaliway 10.5.2 on my nc6000. I haven't test everything in the system just yet, but so far audio works, usb sort of works: when i insert usb key it wont detect it, but it detects it after reboot. dvd-rom works, ethernet (haven't test it), wi-fi doesn't work ive got atheros w500 internal card, tried few tutorials but it sort of detects it but can't turn on. Video is sluggish as i expected, mouse leaves small white square in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yana209 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi, Glad to know there's a topic about NC6000 and one of the fellows already successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.2. I had no problem in the installation and boot selection procedure but once I select the OS X partition, it starts loading and then gets stuck at the following last two lines: MAC Framework successfully initialized using 5254 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers I have waited some 25 minutes, but no activity. I too have NC6000. Any help is appreciated. /Yasir just tried it with option -f and it is showin a grey screen with dark grey apple logo on it and some circular animation...not going beyond it...

yana209 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Update: Did a re-installation with the JAS SSE2 patch selected. Now another problem! After I select to boot the OS, after few scripting display it restarts automatically? Infact it immediately restarts upon reaching that grey Apple logo screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yana209 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have re-installed everything again. (i didn't know how to choose a different kernel at the start) so I chose kernel_9.2_sleep, and now I have tried all the kernels, but each time it will get take me to grey apple logo screen and a after a while a dialogue will tell me that I should restart my machine I couldn't find stageXNU Kernel in Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD.

largo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It would be so nice if you could elaborate a bit further on how to do the installation. Which packages in which categories to check, which to uncheck. How long the install takes, how long the first boot takes. So people know they don't have to panic if it freezes or takes a long time. You could also state when something is obviously going wrong... (in case you know). I always thought the installation was one of the most complicated things to actually get right. Right now I am sitting in front of my NC6000/NC8000 waiting for it to boot for the first time. I've got a grey screen and I can see my mousepointer and move it around - but that's about it. It's been like this for a good 15 minutes, does that mean I can start worrying, or not? It would be real nice to see few more details in this thread... thanks in advance!

Nick14 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 First Boot= 15min atleast with JaS 10.5.4 and boot-132 atleast on my and nickhes PC 2 boot after install = 10-20min 3 boot to 1million = 7-10 sec and choose StageXnu kernel or sleep 9.2 and after that change to Voodoo 9.4 or 9.5 they work alot better and faster then other kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, so far I am down with way more basic things. For example - my keyboard doesn't get detected after waiting 45 minutes for it to boot... any Ideas? Yes, this is a NC6000/NW8000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick14 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Keyboard wont get detected you will need an usb Keyboard and mouse the first time download these http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry811362 drivers for the nc8000/nc6000 keyboard to get it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Okay, here is a progress report. I got my Keyboard & Mouse working after installing the ApplePS2Controller, so thanks for the hint! Fixed Network is working, Wireless still troubles me. Bootup time is 5 minutes, each and every time! I don't know what it is with the bootup time, that is really annoying, what also is annoying that X11 doesn't work. I did install it, but when I try to launch it, it immediately fails. So right now my prio #1 is bootup, then #2 X11. After that I'll try to get the Atheros working. By the way - why did you install that extra audio driver? Audio works for me a-ok after the install and when I install the other package named above my system won't boot... Any Ideas about anything named above? Would be greatly appreciated...

largo Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Okay, let's see. Another half day of work done. I learned that it is important to install your drivers, even if you know you're not going to use the devices. I know now why my laptop kept hanging for 5 minutes at this point: configd[55]: InterfaceNamer: timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesce I needed to install the Cardbus drivers, which are linked to on the first page. I also got the Atheros to work, but I needed the old Tiger drivers for this, they can be found here. Now I'll see if I can find an X11 package and see if I can get it to work - after that I'll try and see what I can do about the QE/CI support for the ATI Mobility Radeon.
