barchetta Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 ok install went ok it seems but I can't pass the "backup files on another mac" page ?? it keeps rebooting to the language page .... ?????!!! Upon booting, at the prompt type "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" (incl. the quotes). The screen will be too small for the 'backup files' question Did someone already try BIOS update 1.06? Could it cause trouble with OSX? Works like a charm.

moarfish Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm in Hong Kong and I am going to buy Wind in this week. However, I can't find any shop selling the DELL mini-pcie wifi card in Hong Kong. Is there any atheros card which can fits the size of MSI WIND and can work with Leopard? How about the AR5008 currently selling here: http://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/1116107198 ? will it works?

Ulysse Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 it works finally !!!thanks but any wifi drivers ? Not yet unfortunately. I managed to make a perfectly working triple boot on the msi wind with : Windows Xp Ultimate, MacOSX 10.5.4, Ubuntu Ultimate, and all is working flawlessly. Except for the Wireless card under Mac. The Linux distrib was adapted for ubuntu ( you have to compile your drivers youself tho) I guess (hope) that the drivers for Mac should be available for next week. I'am trying to adapt and to work on a version for our Leo ;-) Good week end to you @l U.

alucard_xs Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 ok so i'm gonna wait a little before upgrading. It seems that the boot time is pretty long on my akoya, for booting leopard 10.5.4, it's about 2 minutes, is there anything to speed it up ?

asae Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Did someone already try BIOS update 1.06? Could it cause trouble with OSX? Upgraded to 1.06 last week, works fine with me, no significant improvement that i know of in OSX.

fonkyfresh Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi Guys, just got my wind few hours ago. I tried the Suse Linux, not crazy about it... So the BIOS is not updated nor the camera, so i think i'll have to install windows to update everything correctly then i'll OSx it. Do you have another way to do that without windows?? Cuz it's a pain for me to install windows. Cheers (First thing I did, was sticking a white apple sticker on the back of the screen!)

Ulysse Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks Ulysse, do you know how long does it take to boot ? thanks Ulysse, btw, how long does it take to boot leopard ? Sure .. it took me 26 seconds from the boot sequence (the very beginning) to the full and active desktop. I will mention here that i have not yet upgraded my memory and therefore still playing with 1giga bytes only. Cheers, U. Hi Guys,just got my wind few hours ago. I tried the Suse Linux, not crazy about it... "Welcome to my World ;-) " So the BIOS is not updated nor the camera, "Not quiet so ... think about upgrading the firmware to 1.06 first" -> this solves many issues ... bluetooth ... webcam etc ... so i think i'll have to install windows to update everything correctly then i'll OSx it. Do you have another way to do that without windows?? Cuz it's a pain for me to install windows. "Sure, Windows are not compulsary" -> I advise you to install OSX first, and then Ubuntu since GRUB is quiet powerfull to manage multiboot. -> Please do bear in mind to configure your partitions prior you installation. To @ll a very good day indeeed. U. (First thing I did, was sticking a white apple sticker on the back of the screen!)

fonkyfresh Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks for the info, I'm installing Windows to update the BIOS and the webcam, i'll stick to it for couple of days. Then i'll add 1Gb and the dell card 1490. And after i'll OSX it. (my connection is so slooooooow here that I have to wait few days in order to have the msiwindosx86.iso) I have Leo4All 10.5.2 on a DVD already but I don't know if I want to have the same kind of issues I had installing it on my former box. Plus the new iso will have 10.5.4 already so i won't bother doing a risky upgrade. thanks for the info Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113018-os-x-on-the-msi-wind-before-its-released/page/17/#findComment-844619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonkyfresh Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 HI everyone, I can't get to update the BIOS. My wind is 105 and I have the 106 from MSI website, made a USB stick bootable, but the Bios.exe tells me that it can't read any valid BIOS or something weird like that. Any hints? Edit: Nevermind it suddenly work.

It takes 42 seconds from the start of the grey apple until it disappears and another 5 seconds before the desktop comes up. Thus not under half a minute as in the Youtube movie, nor more than 2 minutes as the original poster.
