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... :)

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.
