Quirrel Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 What sound driver did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravedigger Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 the sound has been working since the install, but i still need the wireless driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhoenix Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 @Gravedigger: So, you don't have internet connection anyway or did you? The most wireless cards are not working under Mac OS X, 'cause it used "Airport" and you must emulate or masquerade normaly cards to get funcional...

mighel Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 @Gravedigger I have an IBM T42p, just finished downloading kalyway 10.5.1, I'm a newbie in osx86. Can you tell us which kernel, which video/audio drivers have you selected? For your issue I've found in osx86 HCL for 10.4.8: - Intel 2200 B/G wireless(MPCI) - swapped out for Atheros mini-pci working 10.4.6 kext may be this work for us? many thanks! ciao!

Gravedigger Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 all i selected on the install was the sse2 system and the mbr bootloader. but be patient it takes time. after the install it will sit on the apple screen with the rotating circle, it took about 10 mins to load os x after the install but after that it works like a charm. I still do not have wireless but i do have internet if i connect to my modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpmwr Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gravedigger: I have a T42 running Leopard. The card you listed is your lan card. The question here is if you have the Intel Wireless card as well or the atheros card. Do you have windows installed, if so, can you get me the devid of your card. If it is 168c,1014 I can walk you through getting wifi working. If it is the intel you are unfortunately SOL. -Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighel Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ok I've installed leo following Gravedigger hint and it works (thanks ^^_ )-soundcard and lan works 'out of the box', wifi doesn't work but I have another priority now:the problem still remain the videocard, I haven't CI nor QE enabled so I can't switch resolution other than 1024x768.I've tried installing Natit for ATI, it seems that recognizes my video card (ATI Mobility Fire GL T2, 128MB) but all I got is a black screen and stucked pc.any ideas out there?many thanksciao!@tpmwrI have the Intel one...

komanek Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi, i'm trying to install leo on ibm t42 type 2373 with Radeon 7500. After loading darwin the system reboots even with -v -x parameters. Did anyone had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighel Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 @komanec: I've just selected SSE2 kernel and MBR partition scheme, all it's OK except wifi and QE/CI for ATI Mobility FireGL T2. Try install from the scratch -Format your HD using MBR scheme from Disk Utility -Select SSE2 kernel only and MBR (the last option when you choose 'Customize') BTW try to search in forum using last message of your boot, I've done so many times (I've reinstalled about 10 times from the scratch on external USB2 disk) and finally have Leopard working. ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komanek Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 @mighel: I can't even select anything becouse the system restarts or hangs just after "MAC Framework Succefully initialized". I'll tried ToH version and iATKOS. I'll try KALYWAY tommorow maybe this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try with Kalyway, it's the easiest install I tried here... and let us know your feeling! ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komanek Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Finally I managed to install it without any problem. It's starting OK but in english. When I select my preferable language only first menu is in it. Second thing is the airport. I've got Atheros AR5001X+ MiniPci card (168c), could someone make a step-by-step guide for installation?

Yes, 10.5.1 only support English... If you want have a different Language, you must use a previous version of Leopard (I use German from ToH Leopard 10.5)... Important is that it's Version fpr Leopard... You could used an original DVD, too... MfG Darky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansei-sensei Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm working on getting the kalyway iso working on my T42, after failed attempts at getting a function dell latitude D620. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I have the radeon 9600 with 1400x1050 14" screen, 2GB ram, atheros a/b/g wireless, and currently a spare 40GB hard drive so that I can keep my debian install nice and safe.

After loading darwin the system reboots even with -v -x parameters. Did anyone had this problem? I have the same issue (with a radeon 9600 though). It restarts so quickly with -v even I can't even see the last message it posts before it does so. The install went without a hitch, no errors there. I selected sse2, vanilla kernel (with acpi fix) and mbr .. hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighel Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I selected sse2, vanilla kernel (with acpi fix) and mbr .. hmmmm you have to select SSE2 kernel ONLY and MBR partition scheme. BTW anyone has resolved the radeon 9600 / mobility firegl issue?! (I mean QE/CI enabled) ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vester_s Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I try to install it in the VMware with Vista as my host, i also used the same ISO but it doesn't work.

Are there any known solutions to this problem?Intel PRO/100/1000 LAN adapterthis is what the wireless card is . Gravedigger, was yours a clean install or did it had a previous OSX on your thinkpad. I'm trying to do a clean install on my Thinkpad T43p and I am having very little luck. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighel Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is it possible for me to install them in the USB External HD? (if possible, how could i do that?) I've installed on a 2.5" external USB drive. Start your pc with external disk turned on, boot from dvd (I assume you have kalyway 10.5.1 dvd) At the beginning of installation (after the language selection) choose Utility|Disk Utility You should find your external hd in the left panel of disk utility. Select it and format with native filesystem (I don't remember the name, guess it's HFS+) and MBR partition scheme. You will find your usb disk in the targets for installation. Anyway I've disconnected my XP disk, first... After installation just select yr external disk as boot device and you're on. ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
