blud1337 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I also have this laptop and from my experience it cannot run any sort of OS X I either get a kernel panic or it just doesn't boot at all.

WaldMeister Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi, Replying to an old topic. Just managed to install Mountain Lion on it. Still have a lot to do, because for now it's just bootable. Will report back when i have ethernet, audio, video, etc working.

giovannialmirante Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I installed OS X on a Compaq CQ58 and I set the legacy mode in the BIOS you could try it too. Then you can boot from USB or DVD. P.S. I'm Italian Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274056-leopard-on-compaq-presario-cq57/#findComment-1945837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
