Inspiron 600M Install

[douirc]

i've got an inspiron 600m with 1.6ghz processor, 1gb ram, radeon 9000 video and the stock dell wifi card.

 

I seem to be making progress, but could use some help to speed up the process.

 

on my first attempt I left everything on default settings, installed, rebooted and I got the apple logo with a busy signal and never got any further

 

 

On my second attempt I changed the default settings to include SSE2_Jas1048_ACPI_APIC, rebooted and this time i got a litte further, but instead I got an error:

 

 

could someone please tell me which settings I should use during installation? I feel like I am very close and just need the right settings.

ok, now I REALLY need some help! amazingly, after reinstalling about 8 times, I finally got it to load! BUT...I can't remember what SETTINGS I USED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

any idea how to figure out what I chose?!?!

 

 

NOTES:

I edited the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and inserted the lines:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1400×1050×32</string>

 

resolution worked great. now i just need to get graphics acceleration working

Did you ever get this working?

 

If not I have the exact settings and options you need to choose to make it work great. I just did it today and it reboots and everything right into the OS

 

Let me know and ill write it out for ya
