DjNels Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi, I successfully installed OS X 10.5.6 iPC on my Gateway MX6030 Here is my CPU-Z report: http://pastebin.com/m53310c32 What SMBIOS patch should I select? After it installed and rebooted, it just hangs on the grey Apple logo screen with the spinning indicator. There is no harddrive or DVD drive activity. I installed with the 9.5.0 Voodoo kernel and these drivers LaptopDisplay Conexant HiDef Audio Broadcom Driver (wireless) Thanks in advance!

Beerkex'd Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The SMBIOS patch is not required for the system to boot. If you really really want to install one, just select one that matches your memory speed the closest, and if you're on a laptop select a macbook smbios...if you're on a desktop system select an imac or macpro SMBIOS.. If not - when you're done installing, install the Chameleon 2.0 bootloader and use smbios.plist in /extra, like this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1124377 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjNels Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes, I got it installed with these options: 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel Intel ICHx SATA Drivers (chipset) Conexant HiDef Audio Broadcom Drivers ACPI Fix FireWire Mount Fix I had to pick a chipset driver, or else it gave me the waiting for root device error, but now my laptop's keyboard / touchpad do not work (they did during install, however) - I assume this is because of the incorrect chipset drivers? Also my screen resolution is not optimal. I was wondering if there is a way to get my keyboard/touchpad functionality back, and also get full capability from my graphics card to run the native 1280x800 resolution. Thanks for all your help today and yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 For your keyboard/trackpad try VoodooPS2Controller. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=161496 Search with your laptop and/or integrated video brand and model to find solutions for your graphics problem.

Thanks for all your help today and yesterday. i also used iPC, i had to check the ps2keyboard fix to keep keyboard and touchpad when booting, interrrupt and type -v cpus=1 if it still hangs, only type -v and see where its getting stuck at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
