pegasys Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Interesting to read this thread after so long a time!! I no longer have the m3438g, but thought I'd repost what I had working 12 months ago: 1.The only way I could get OS X to boot was to replace the DVD drive with a PATA HD adapter - HDD adapter for the dell 9300/9400 also works for amilo m3438g. (ebay seller I bought mine from now sells SATA adapter - not sure if this would make any difference: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=190177221089 ). Set all partitions on the via-controlled hard drives to non active - using ptedit32, change 80 to 00. (using F12 to choose boot device wouldn't work). This way I was able to bypass the via raid controller problem. 2. For OS X to boot, I still had to delete Appleps2controller.kext - which meant that the keyboard and trackpad didn't work - had to use external. I wonder if any of the newer releases (uphuck, XxX, Leopard) woulld be any different? 3. When I had the m3438g ( December 2006), wireless, sound, QE/CI were not working - but by now they should all work. hope this helps someone...

impreza Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Cant believe this thread was started over two years ago, and still no one has posted a successful OSx86 install using the VIA6421 controller. I will check back in another 6 months cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxkevco Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi All,, I cannot believe that this thread started well over 2 years ago and still there is no answer for FS laptop owners. In one way i am very lucky,, i have only just thought about getting OSX onto my AMILO A1630,, so havent had over 2 yrs of complete and utter frustration like the rest of you...But unlucky in another way in that,, i wont be able to do what i planned to do....install OSX on my FJ laptop.. this thread alone answers my question.. IT CANT BE DONE CAN IT ? I do hope this first post of mine isnt going to be my last post,,such a good site full of eager, curious tech guys trying to solve the problems of so many,, i admire you all for what you do for the novice computer society. Many thanks,, kev PS: If anyone " has " found a solution over the years,, or a newer version is out there that is more compatible then please reply to this thread. http://www.soundclick.com/kevinpaulcoughlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
