footose Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Well, I just purchased this notebook about 2 weeks ago and I've been dual booting Windows / Fedora for that amount of time. I've had the 10.4.3 IMG file on my AMD 64 box for a while and it has been working half decent, but on a seperate drive. I've spent the last couple days figuring out how to install it on this notebook, which turned out to be a little harder because of partitions / whatever. Specs of Notebook Compaq Presario V2575CA AMD-64 Turion 1 Gig Ram 100 Gig HD ATI Radeon Xpress 200m Install Procedure 1) Install WinXP to Primary Partition 2) Install Partition Magic, make new unallocated partition 3) Run DISKPART, enter following commands with the following commands: Select Disk 0 create partition primary size=6690 id=af 4) unzip and install DD 5) find where your partitons are dd --LIST 6) copy image over dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2 bs=512 skip=63 --progress 7) Download chain0 http://www.360hacker.net/chain0.rar, unrar it into C:\, and modify the boot.ini as follows C:\chain0="Mac OS X" 8) Boot the machine, and select "Mac OS X". Basically it was a combination of these guides, and a lot of trail and error. http://osxx86.orgfree.com/installguide.htm http://www.360insider.net/forums/showthread.php?t=203 Now.. I don't know how long its supposed to take too boot, but, mine is booting fiarly slowly, and i've been doing it fo about the last 10 minutes and still haven't seen the login screen. I'm assuming its not supposed to take this long. Is there anything that anyone can recommend I can do at startup to speed things up? On my home machine with a seperate drive, it booted in under 20 seconds. Anyway..comments...suggestions..whatever... encouraged and welcomed!

maq Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The main problem is probably with your ATI IDE controller. Check out this thread for details and a fix: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=8088&st=0 JaS also made a patch addon to handle this, but it was hosted on win2osx.net and I'm not sure where it is now - you can probably find it if you search around. Did you get keyboard/mouse working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digicide Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sounds great-- any progress on the speed? I would really love to see a partition backup of this, as I've spent weeks with my v2000z with no notable progress. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maq Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i got it working on my v2000 (v2312us) like this.. i'm using 10.4.5 but i had 10.4.3 previously and it's pretty much the same. partition with fdisk/cfdisk/partition magic/whatever, set type to AF boot the dvd in vmware, format the partition with disk utility, and install normally. you obviously need a patched dvd. if you're using the prepatched 10.4.4/5 image, you'll have to patch the kernel afterwards if you want sse3 now, there's a conflict between the ps2 and usb extensions - you have to do one of the following: -disable legacy usb support in your bios -remove ApplePS2Controller.kext (your keyboard/trackpad won't work) -remove the plugin AppleUSBOHCI.kext from IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ (firewire and usb 1.0/1 won't work) -to do this from windows, use transmac or macdrive, or use linux. if you can't access the drive from windows, install the free program Ext2IFS and assign it a drive letter through the control panel now, it should boot. you might have to make sure you don't have any usb devices attached when you boot, though. after this, you'll want to get the ide controller working better and stop the horribly slow speeds. check out scousi's post on the ATI southbridge chipset and download the kext. you'll also want to enable wireless by adding your device ID to IO8..whatever.kext . check out the thread on broadcom wireless i think that's all the major stuff. problems yet unsolved include audio, graphics driver, power management, full usb support, probably more good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
