stevenf Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Last night I tried installing Kalyway 10.5.2 onto a Sony VAIO UX280P. The installer works flawlessly, and got all the way through without a hitch. Progress bars and beachball cursors were animating smoothly, so I think it's even got the right GPU driver. I installed with the default options (no customization, patches, etc.) Upon rebooting from the hard drive, I get the Apple Logo with spinner, then a blue screen. If I boot in verbose (-v), I still eventually get to the blue screen, so I guess WindowServer is starting up OK. I believe what is happening is that Setup Assistant is launching and trying to play its movie. I'm not sure why this wouldn't work, but one possibility is the non-standard screen resolution (1024x600). I tried renaming/moving the intro.mov file out of the Setup Assistant bundle, but that made no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions on bypassing the first-run Setup Assistant (creating an account manually, etc), or any other troubleshooting I could try? The installer ran so well, it's heartbreaking to see it not boot to the Finder.

Otherwise, the video isn't going to work correctly. I have a UX280p with kalyway 10.5.2 installed and the only thing I miss is the sleep function. I cannot believe how well OSX translates to the UX.
