nunosurf Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I've been trying to install OS X on this old laptop Acer Aspire 5680 without success. I've followed this tutorial but I never get to the "welcome screen". I get a white screen with music and a voice providing some intructions (for blind people, I think). I've tried several options as suggested in the tutorial, but the result is always the same. I've read and searched a lot, but not luck... Although a lot of people seem to have been able to install OS X on this PC... It seems that the white screen has to do with the driver for the graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600-SE - but I have no idea what to do now. This tutorial suggested "iDeneb_v1.6_1058_Lite_Edition". Any other suggestions? Also, in Step 5: "once it finishes installing and boots up, boot with flag " cpus=1 " and proceed with the welcome screen, etc etc etc." I'm not sure about what to do? If I remove the DVD, nothing happens. If I don't remove the DVD, and do nothing, it goes to the white screen. If I don't remove the DVD and press F8, I am able to write " cpus=1 ", but then it starts the installation process again. Any help on this? Any instructions for this specific PC? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunosurf Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I was able to install iDeneb 10.5.5, like in this video: It's working. I'll just have to find out how to install the kext for ethernet... as it isn't working yet. Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
