ionize Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I installed 10.4.11 on an old Compaq Evo D500 desktop. 1.7GHz P4 SSE2, 640MB 133SDRAM, 20GB ATA100 HDD, 16MB Nvidia Vanta GPU, AC'97 onboard. To do this I used the XxX_OSX86_10.4.11rev2 install disc, installing the following: - Single MBR partition - Selected ONLY: - Base Combo SSE2 - All recommended patches (all of them) - X11 (All) - Updates (All) - Intel 82562EZ network driver - Generic AC'97 sound driver - Removed the -v (verbose) option from /com.apple.boot.plist/ and changed time from 20 to 5 secs - Deleted the Geforce.kext from the Extensions folder, this distorted the NVidia Vanta card when scrolling One thing I can't get to work, a CDROM 48x drive. I Installed OSX from another DVD drive I do not want to use in this system so replaced it by an old IDE CDROM drive. OSX does not see it. How do I get it to work?
