Nick Jacholson Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 After I read alot about installing an OSX on comon PC´s I just wanted to try. So i downed the "allinonewonder" Version at well knowen places which called his self something like "osx86 10.4.5 intel-amd sse2 ...". Sounded really interessting, I think it is the version of Myzthar. So on started to build an clean Partition with about 6.5 GB for the OSX and left some empty space for what else could happen. Ok, meanwhile the download was finishen and I was ready to take of for my first expierence with the installation advanture. Putted in the OSX CD and rebootet the system. WOW at first I was really impressed course after a short while I saw the first time an quit cool Apple Logo on my portable, but then the first trouble began, after the wounderful Logo shoed up and the circle did its suroundings a bad sign showed up. DEAD END! F..k! Ok, but I recognised, that quit befor the sign showed up, the DVD-ROM didn´t turn any more. OK, next try, may be the DVD-ROM is not supported, so I took my USB Pioneer A06 D and pulged it in. Next try with this Device. And wounder what happend, it tooked much longer to start, but it started the installation. So I first thought, I was wright, but the after it came up to the part where to choose the partition to install OSX to, I realized the real trouble, it wasn´t the DVD-ROM it must be the ide controller, cause nothing showed up, no drive, nothing just an empty place, where usually, the partition should be. and than I also realised that also the keyboard, did nothing. So bad trouble. But I won´t give up, next time I try to install it onto an USB-Drive and look what will, happen. Now I also have a question, is it possible, to use BSD Drivers for this problem? Or should I try an other installer version, maybe would the 10.4.3 be a better joice? So on, yours Nick EDIT: OK found the first solution here at the board: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=8088&st=60 So now I´m on my way I will try to make this thread like an almost easy way to install OSX on an Acer Aspire 502x system. But if you have any hinds, be so kind and give them so I don´t need to search so long to get everything I need to do this.

Nick Jacholson Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Okay, new trouble, I pachted the iso with the ati Patch from JaS and I got a forced restard much earlier. It tells me "ACPI Driver not found" So what now, I still have the chance to install it on an USB-HDD but I want to install it natively, also i´m not shure if the patch will work afterwards. Any Idea? THX NICK EDIT: Oh, I forgot I don´t know why but OSX can´t finde the SSE3 support it is not listed at the startup? maybe the sse3/sse2 patch???

Vanseb Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi ! I got a Turion too (but on a desktop PC), and i had the same problem like you, with the cross on the apple logo. Here's my system : patched DVD made with 10.4.3 DVD drive LG motherboard Asrock K8NF4G (based on nVidia nForce 4 with IGP) and a Turion MT-37 I read the link you posted, but I don't find the solution of this problem. Is it possible to have a explication for a poor person who speak very bad english ? Thanks a lot ! /edit -> oh I didn't read correctly the board, this solution is for ATI based chipset. Sorry !

Nick Jacholson Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Vaseb, Okay, the main problem is that your Chipset is not supported by the patches wright now. Jas just did a Patch for the ATI Chipset that is also iinstalled in my Aspire5022WMli. I know that there are some troubles with the nvida chip sets, so I think you just have to use the search option here in the board and look up for your exact Chipset, maybe you´ll find it. You can look up which exact one you have be using an usual System diagnostic tool. I use the EVEREST Home Edition it freeware and shows you alot detaild infos about your system, but any other would work to. Like if you have intalle SiSoft Sandra, or any other banchemark tool. Good look, by finding the write patch, but be sure that you also have the write Image for the patch was my problem, so I´m now downloading the JaS 10.4.3 to install it natively. Have you tried to install it from a vmware?

Vanseb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi ! Thanks for your Answer I didn't try to install with Vmware. In fact I saw on the wiki the chipset is supported, but I think I do an error, because with the Nforce 4, I got an IGP, and maybe it's this who blocked the installation. I'll do other tests tomorrow, with Vmware and I'll take a parched iso from the web Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11849-first-try-to-install-osx-on-an-acer-aspire-5022-turion/#findComment-75161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jacholson Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Ok, I got it. But I´ve to dl the original 8f1111g image and patch it be my self. first the 4.2b JaS patch then the JaS.Add.Ati.fix After that the installition run fluently. But I had to install it on the internal HD course the Acer BIOS doesn´t allow you to boot from an USB-HDD. The next prob was, that I couldn´t install it on the partioniton that I prepared at WinXP, course OSX didn´t like the win styled partition table. So till now there is no chance of to get a duel boot. More on how to install it on an ACER ASPIRE 5022WMLi after I fixed everything possible. I will do an german How-To also.

Andras Kenez Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Dear Nick Jacholson, There is a trick to run OSX from USB HDD on Acer Aspire...... I have same -but a bit cheaper- notebook than you. Acer Aspire see USB hdd like a big FDD drive, you can only see USB drive while OSX setup if USB legacy support enabled, but legacy support enabled system very very slow...... Disable legacy USB support , setup OSX to intenal HDD partition, than modify com.apple.boot.plist: /add timeout/ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> </dict> </plist> Make OSX journaled partition to USB drive, format it, than copy partition from internal HDD to USB disk with cacbon copy cloner Reboot than get boot promt write this: rd=disk1s1 you can boot from USB ! //5f you upgrrade to 10.4.4 or 5 you must keep patched IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.3 With koverg patch x600/x700 mobility works in QE+CI mode// Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11849-first-try-to-install-osx-on-an-acer-aspire-5022-turion/#findComment-79496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
