I had quite a few issues getting 10.5.4 working on a Dell D600 Laptop. To spare others the trouble, here is a guide to get many things working. Wifi doesnt work for intel wifi users or usb mass storage either. I will update it as i get the rest working. This is a based on info from other forum posters.

 

This guide was made for Jas 10.5.4 Dvd

 

in the Jas installer select the following options (all are probably not needed but this worked for me) to get it to install correctly:

1. SSE2 kernel

2. AGPART

3. ApplePII

3. AppleGENERICSATA

4. Ac97 audio

5. ApplePS2nub

6.All of the intel plugins

 

this will get audio, video, keyboard and mouse working.

 

on another computer prepare a CD with the attached AppleBCM5701 ethernet kext. You need to do this since networking wont work without it and USB flash drives crash the system.

 

replace the old AppleBCM5701 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ with the one attached.

 

then run the following:

cd /

cd /System/Library/Extensions/

ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/*

kextcache -c

reboot/code]

 

This will get ethernet working

 

the video is locked at a low resolution so do the following to get the native LCD resolution:

 

com.apple.Boot.plist in the directory /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and add the following:

 

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1400x1050x32</string>

 

 

reboot and the resolution is fixed.

 

Just like ethernet install the contents of PCCard.zip to get the PCCard slot working.

installl io80211 to get wifi working.

If you have a broadcom chip on your wifi card wifi should work.

 

WPC54g linksys card works with this driver

 

Follow the steps here to get power management working.

follow thse instructions to get USB drives working

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789

 

If you cant boot properly off the battery when not plugged in, go to the BIOS and change it from minimal boot to through boot.

AppleBCM5701Ethernet_1.kext.zip

PCCard.zip

IO80211Family.kext.zip

Hi, Minus,

 

Could you pls give NBs a little details how to setup 10.5.4 on D600? I tried your procedure with Jas 10.5.4 several times but no luck. The kexts names listed at install are quite different to your guide. Is there another Jas 10.5.4 release? Can you give the exact names of each kext you figured out working?

 

Thanks,

newE

Okay I've got a Dell d600 and Ideneb V10.5.5 but I keep getting a panic on com.apple.driver.appleacpiplatform. When I installed the only option I selected was the 9.2 Kernel. Can anyone give me guidance as to what other options to select? I know I'll have limited video, but I just want to get it working to browse the web..

Hi,

I installed MacOS iDeneb V1.3 10.5.5 on a 1,4 GHz 1 GByte Dell D600 Latitude with the following options checked:

 

Check your desired language pack

X11

Audio = AC97Audio

Chipset = ICHx Fixed and JMicronATA and SAS

Kernel = Sleep (with Sleep my D600 freeze after some time.) or SpeedStep (not both) (not tested so far)

Ethernet = AppleBC5751

Wireless = Broadcom

Fix = select all in this section

Acpi-fix Cpus=1-fix

Applesmbbios

FireWire remove

Iousbfamilyfix

Powermanagement

Poweroff fix

Video = do not select any option (none are compatible with dell d600)

Application = select all in the section

 

My D600 supports a resolution of 1400x1050, so after the installation finished change the resolution to 1400x1050.

start a terminal:

 

$sudo [-s -i]

password:

#cd /Library/Preferences/System Configuration

#nano -w com.apple.Boot.plist

and add the lines:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1400×1050×32</string>

With this configuration I got a fine working MacOS. iCal doesn't work. Don't know why, but I don't need it.

 

 

thanks to javamocha2000 for help to get it well done

 

let me know if you got it installed or if you got problems...

Hi Everyone,

 

Let me just say that I started about a couple of days ago learning about the OSx86 project and the iATKOS 5i is the first one that I tried. I have a Dell D600, yes I know it´s a little bit old, but everything works wonderfully well except the ethernet, (Broadcom 570x). I tried to download the modified version and followed the instructions from this topic: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=130589 but for some reason it doesn´t work. I replaced the old AppleBCM5701 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ with the modified one, then ran the command (which gave errors), then rebooted and as soon as i rebooted I got an error message saying that there was something wrong with the modified kext. What am I doing wrong?

 

By the way, like I said, everything works wonderful, even the battery/power, audio, mouse, usb, video (i got that to the native resolution by adding <key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1400x1050x32</string>

in the boot.plist) but not the lan.

Setting that I used:

Chamaleon

AppleDecrypt

AppleSMBIOS-28

Kernel 9.20 ToH

APIC driver

Disabler.kext

Remove Thermal kexts

 

The rest unchecked.

 

PROPS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THIS!!!

 

 

Got this from Zeus12 on the iATKOS v5i thread.

I tried this recipe on my D600, and also tried successfully the PC EFI bootloader instead and, also the voodoo kernel. The SMBIOS choice above makes it appear as an imac, so maybe the Air one might be better, but I haven't tried it.

Everything seems to work nicely, except sleep still doesn't work and ical still needs Rosetta.

No big advantages over the previous Kaly 10.5.1/9.1, except everything is now up to date.

Next step is to try updating to 10.5.6, although I think that will be best with the new voodoo to go with it.

Can you please re-upload the IO80211Family kext. It doesnt seem to be unzipping on multiple computers...thanks

go to the bios

turn off speed step

turn off LAN

change the POST from minimal or automatic to Thorough

 

 

I do exactly what you said, but when it starts loading it will reboot continuously. If I don't make the changes you say it will begin loading and then get stuck on the apple background while it goes into a perpetual loading phase.

I followed your guide and after three tries it installed, but I cannot get the network card to work. Any ideas? I tried what the first blog stated but it didn't work. Also it froze on me one time after I left it running for about 3 hours. Anyone else?

Hello everybody

I came here because i need help with a trouble I have.

I'd successfully installed Ideneb v1.3 10.5.5 on my Dell Latitude D600, 100% working but I need to connect my other monitor but my PC when i connect it doesn't do anything.

Please help me because I must have the two monitors working at the same time or will I have to regrettably return to Windows XP because I need them to work more efficiently.

Please I need help!

Greetings
