So my friend which is your favourite?

Acro here,

Hello my friends i am busy working on another build, one just isn't enough . This time its my Dell inspiron 2310 (iMac clone) well thats the plan. There are several things i am struggling to decide what to assign for this build. Smbios is a headache, is it a laptop? mac mini maybe or mac pro. i don't know and i would love some advice on that too, but my main issue for today is that i am trying to get my Framebuffer personalities correct, currently its got multiple personalities *he shrugs* Eulemur seems to boot into lion installer with both iMac11,3 and mac pro 3.1, great! Apart from the multiple part i made a bad joke about before, the screen displays 8 duplicates of the same screen. mouse works and i could install it in very glitchy looking crazy mode, but its better then Hoolock which gave me disco flash lots of colours mode.

What i would like to know is how to not do this blindfolded, I have linux and a brain i can work out the correct frame buffer or patched or indeed how to make one (but the latter is pushing my skills way over what I'm comfortable with) But i can only work it out with your help.

On my linux host i have a 10.6.7 Virtual machine on the dell so that may be helpful to get my device ID and Vendor? or does a virtual machine do something special?

So yeah any thoughts so far?


I know its just a picture but it helps me think.

(This build is not a notebook contrary to listing but rather an iMac clone. (If This iMac style pc is effecting the results, that is what i am trying to find out, built in screen yet pcie graphics card.) Do you know anyone with an all in one on osx?

Hey all, im going to try this again (i have been trying this build for 2 years), I have a very nice working lion usb installer that i am modifying to boot. Finding the correct framebuffer is a nightmare so thats what I'm trying to sort out because its causeing booting into a blank screen fans spin up but nothing happens, even power button doesn't work so i have to turn it off at the wall.

The main thing thats stopping me is the boot into the installer so i made a dedicated thread for this:

Here is the general guide for this card, hoolock doesn't work it just gives me disco colours.

Proposed solution and inspiration to others
I wouldn't normally ask this, but Windows Guid does seem to be a better option to me, rather then lion on MBR. I am not entirely sure if my motherboard for the Acer listed bellow would boot a Windows Guid partition. (Efi supported? hm65, I dont know alot about that so i dont know where to research).

The problem
The main reason i am posting this is beause every time i use an automated tool to make a lion installer it breaks my installation, (boots but doesnt install) but if i compile the installer myself by hand and do not add the mbr patch Osinstall thing, <you know the one, my installer does install. Therefore no Lion installer Mbr + no Duelboot very sad.

Thanks all for any thoughts on the matter

Short story.

I would like to create an ISO of my snow leopard DVD no pirate ideas.


Long story with added sarcasym.

I know this isnt really a Nix problem well it sort of is. Im working on ditching my partitions and using a more intelligent solution being Virtual box. If the misses will allow it that is. she knows what im up to!
I taught her to well i gues. Anyway its clearly apealing to remain slightly in the Os X 86 sceane since my laptop is going to a local business, I am in love with linux mint so this is my primary Os and will be the preference to offer solutions thanks. Anyway yes back on topic, im working on a virtual machine. now the prosses is fairly straight forward, much like the usual method, I have opted for DVD snow leopard install, I tried the USB lion using plop boot manager in the virtual box but that didnt work, It was a compleately mad idea to be fair. Anyway moving on, I get to empire efi, so thats good im setup fine, but i dont have a .ISO of snow leopard DVD which seems to be the only way this is going to work, linux the host reads the dvd as bootcamp, obviously! This means i need to make a ISO image of my disk, (I am not a pirate, I cant download torrents because my imorality seems to be corupted) moving on, can i use a dmg that i created on my acertosh and convert it to an iso? (i tried a certain terminal line but i couldnt get it rite, google will probaly help you stumble on that one, yes i have had a look on google... a lot!).

Does anyone have any ideas? i can use windows too and vm windows i am determined not to log off to do this, i dont need windows, much!


Thanks all for being there through my regular technology headaches.
