CD BURNER (Wiki)

* CD-R/DVD-R

Use patchburn 4.0.2 to activate it.

nice job !

thanks,

please post your comments everyone

Great Guide Microsoft Whiz <3 and Thanks for using my guide in ur guide,

as it says in wiki, i think you'll find that the dvd/cd re-writer will work when you use patchburn 4.0.2 to activate it. It worked fine for me and now i can burn cd's as well as dvd's

heres a screenshot of the drive in system profiler

Yes I'll Add That But It Didn't Work For Me, It Added It But Wont Burn Right I Think

i've added the patch burn info at the bottom

The audio fix is awesome! Is there more information as to where that info came from?

thanks

that audio fix is from the wiki

Thanks so much for this guide - it really made my installation easy.

One step I found I was able to skip was the first dongle (pins 1-6 and 2-12) - my B130 worked fine from start to finish with only the pin-6-to-pin-12 dongle described in part 3.

To save a few steps for others with the Dell 1370 Wireless card, I've attached two pre-patched files:

IO80211Family.kext.zip
NetworkInterfaces.plist.zip

To install:

1. Unzip both files
2. Replace your current IO80211Family.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ with this patched IO80211Family.kext
3. Move NetworkInterfaces.plist to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
4. Repair disk permissions using Disk Utility

Thanks again, microsoft whiz

First, a big thanks - your post made me realize this is even possible on the B130... the fact that everything worked for you is fantastic news.

I don't expect that all of your steps will directly apply to me, as I got 10.3.9 installed via the Uphuck 1.4i DVD. I'm not really sure what's different though...

It seemed better to start with a newer image than try the one you did. Is this assumption valid?


Using the 1-pin paperclip short on the external VGA port (still needed for me), I boot in under a minute. Helps that I just installed a 160GB perpendicular HD, and 1.2 GB RAM. Video performance is smooth.

(I used to have an ibook 660MHz 512MB and 10.2... so I can appreciate the performance difference!)

Networking is broken badly though... I can get the Airport icon using your Airport plist PCI entry tip... but if I invoke Network Preferences, the preferences applet CRASHES. This was true before I read your post - nothing to do with your steps. It probably goes back to some choice I made during the uphuck 1.4i install (or it's a problem in uphuck.. I dunno).

It's been 2 months since your post... do you still suggest the JAS 10.4.8 installer?

Worst case I can try it, then attempt to manually upgrade, but I don't know what I'm doing here (I should add that I'm completely comfortable in UNIX and have been so for over 10 years... I just don't know how satisfy whatever missing dependencies my install must be suffering from...). Networking is the most important thing, followed by being able to install XCode.

cheers!

Get uphuck 1.4i r2, it works just as well

For me, r2 takes over 300% longer to boot... 1m45s. Version r1 took just 32 seconds. This might be user error, maybe I missed a selection during install. I'm not worried about this.

On the new release, I still have the same problem where Network Preferences still crashes. This is where I need help... I can't use such a thing lol (before the Internet, I was a BBS junkie so even my 8-bits had connectivity... I'm seeing spots right now.. ).

I'm surprised how few posts there are about Dell Inspiron B130 and Uphuck OS X 1.4. It's an old laptop, but it was so popular when it came out 18 months ago, and is a lot of folk's first laptop.

If I solve this, I'll follow up here with step by step Uphuck B130 details or a link. I don't want to keep pinging my post, so if someone else has success with Uphuck 1.4 and the B130, please fill in the missing details. Thanks!

I got the same network preference issue. Don't install any kext fix, do it yourself manually.
it's a matter of dropping the kext published earlier in this post.

og and I forgot to say that uphuck 1.4i r2 supports Sleep ! It's slow to come back but it does work.

Now I am experiencing an Video issue that I'd like to share with other B130 owners.
During boot, and particularly when the os switches to video mode, the screen gets somes times all blured out. I am using the dongle trick and it's not the blue screen issue.

It looks like a video register initialization issue. Now that Sleep works, forcing the os to slip and come back usually fixes the issue.

Anyone experiencing this same issue or is it only me ?!

I've not seen the video glitch.. although I ran r2 only once (and it was unbearably slow for me). Your suggestion about the kext (IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip From 10.4.3?) may have helped down the road... the version linked here was corrupted, and I found a link elsewhere on this site.. I had understood that kext to be for "ethernet" (wired, really).

In any case, that's one thing that's correct. I still crash Network Preferences though when I try opening it.

So your Network Preferences crashes also, or not?

I can't wait till someone has an installer that lets you pick the laptop MODEL, and it'll do some best-guess autoconfiguration.

It WAS crashing, i reinstalled the whole system without any network/wireless drivers and did the install myself.

it works fine now.

I have two BMC cards one network, the other wireless.

AH, I get it now. Will try it out... thanks!

I'm happy to report that this is even easier under Uphuck 1.4i r3.

Steps:
You still need the paperclip dongle, but the 1-pin method is sufficent.

Install (More or less) the same packages
(I've added both Intel VGA drivers... doesn't hurt)
Be sure to select the packages related to Broadcom, "BCM"
... and the IO80211 package using older drivers
... and the 'patch' for the IO80211 mentioned above

Sorry I am so imprecise, but you will see it...


For me (and more than once) the install or first post-install reboot, would hang. I gave it 30 mins, but a spinning star is all I saw.

A hard reset works, and the system boots right up

With r3, Wired DHCP networking worked on the first try - no edits

The only thing I needed to do to enable Wireless was add in the pci14 id line, and reboot. I did not need the en1->en0 switch as the file was already matching the answer


I can say that r3 and r2 are slower than r1 to boot... about 1 min 25 seconds. On r1 it was consistently 32 seconds. (No this is not a stock B130.. 1.25GB RAM + new IDE 160GB drive which is way faster than original).

Am now running triple-boot via Grub, with a spare 60GB FAT32 partition for data. Ficken sweet!!!


It kinda sucks that Mail was removed... I'm worried they'll strip Safari next!

I think uphuck etc are trying too hard to shave the download size of these torrents... anything under 2GB is fine, and some of us will actually USE email under OS X (it's a real OS to me... my old iBook ran 10.2 till the MB died)

Otherwise.. .awesome awesome!!

Hi,

any ideia to provide QE&CI GMA900 support on leopard build 9a466 or greater ????


thks

so what bios settings do you have to change for the b130. Just the one to boot from cd drive rather than the HDD?

In the aiport config instructions it says "7. before <string>pci14e4,4319</string> add this: <string>pci14e4,4318</string> (change the 4318 to your ID, Mines is 4318 because i have Dell Wireless 1370)"

Noob question, but is the ID your SSID or how do you find it?

nooo i think the id

is the model number of your broadcom


correct me if im wrong anyone?


i had the problem when i was on my old 1300

so glad i have the macbook now...

hmmm.... but i don't have a wireless airport card in my latop. I connect to my router using a wireless usb stick. What do I do? Thanks in advance...

ah well see

that sudo su coding

is to activate ur airport (your broadcom wireless)

so depending on what ever 3rd party extention u have, u have to search on how to make that work in os x86. Just see if that wireless adaptor works on a normal Mac first

then work from their

try searching the model in insanely mac

or if not get a mac compatible one off ebay or an alternate shop

Here's how to find the device ID on Windows:

Other useful tutorials in my sig.

Thanks for all your help guys.... one more Q - when I'm in the installer it won't show devices to install on. No HDD showing up. Having I partitioned it wrong? I left space on my HDD as unused space, or whatever it's called, but to no avail.... what do I do? I'm sure it's something simple...

remember always format with HFS + Extended

because thats what is OS X's file system

NTFS partitions are ment for windows

so make sure your on HFS

Right, got os x installed but couldn't connect on the net no matter what. Did the how find the device no. tutorial above, but there was no DEV. Here's what I have: Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54 Mbps USB 2.0 Network adaptor. In the harware ID it says: USB\VID_0BDA&REV_0100. Found the driver on the realtek site but still no avail....

Nice work, indeed, microsoft whiz! Thank you very much - everything seem to be working for me!
But did someone try to update OSX on dell inspiron 1300? Even to 10.4.9?

I've tried to update three of four times, mainly refering to this . Used slightly different method each time. It doesn't work anyway! Blue screen just hangs...
I can't understand what {censored} goes wrong.

And what about PC-EFI? Does it work with SSE2 CPUs???
Thanks for your replies.

Has anyone managed to get Leopard on a B130?

Good question! I'm thinking of buying one if it's cut and dry, to throw 10.5.3 JaS on when they're finished with it.

does anyone have the files for this guide? i have a Dell B130 and would like to get OSX Tiger JAS running smoothly

I'm wondering the same thing as well. None of the links seem to be working anymore. If anyone can direct me to a place where they are, I'd be greatly appreciative

well fellas - i have totally gotten 10.4.8 up and running with little to no hassle - the pain is in updating...... ........ ........ im working on getting @ least 10.5 base installed and then hopefully I can combo up 2 10.5.3 w/o briking my system again (poor thing, shes been thru soooo much) Hell, im on fedora 9 writing this - earlier 2 day on freeBSD. I JUST WANT SOMETHING STABLE lol....but dont we all....dont we alll

I was able to get this installed using XxX 10.4.11. I just this guide and guide in this thread for audio, video, and ethernet. I don't know if it was mentioned, but you only need to dongle in when you boot up. Once everthing is loaded you can unplug it.

i have a inspiron 1300 which is i think the same as the b130. i manged to install ideneb v1.3 10.5.5. video, sound, wifi, ethernet, working but you have to do some patching.

could you tell - how to fix blue screen?
I'm using paper clip but still getting onl bue screen after install with iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5
