JustinTD Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 First of all, here's the system specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Foxconn MARS mainboard eVGA nVidia 8800GTS PCIe (320MB) 2x Western Digital SATA 200GB 1x Western Digital SATA 80GB 2x Acer AL1716 17" LCD Ok, so, start with, I did a default install with all the network/video/sound/chipset drivers in place. Install was flawless. First boot, got some kexts which couldn't run due to missing hardware, so I went back to resinstall and removed the stuff I though was appropriate. Issue & Solution 1: Issue: "Still waiting for root device" As it turns out, the chipset may be p35 but the SATA controller is not, its a VIA of some sort. I don't know which chipset driverset worked, but I installed them all and that solved that problem. Additionally, doing the "Legacy Mode" in the bios worked too, but it slowed the OS down something fierce. Issue & Solution 2: Issue "No PS/2 Keyboard w/vanilla" Welp, I found the answer on here for that. I just dropped the USB mouse onto a USB->PS2 adapter, booted up and installed with Vanilla and it worked perfectly. Issue Needing Solution 1: No boot up or logoff screens ... instead of the pretty grey and apple, I get the text read outs ... ewwww. How do I get my screens working? Issue Needing Solution 2: At startup I get this error telling me that laptopdisplay.kext is bad or something like that. How do I disable that kext file? EDIT: 1. Is there anyway to use the home/end keys? (not using ALT+Arrow) 2. Is there anyway to utilize the extra buttons on my Intellimouse Explorer? 3. Anyone know how to make the CPU show in "About this Mac" instead of the "2.4 Ghz Unknown"?
