Korrupted Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello from my desktop PC! I got my laptop working a few weeks back, and now I installed OS X 10.4.5 onto my desktop without a hitch. Steps: Used partition magic to make 20GB free space. Used XP's diskpart to make an AF partition. Rebooted into 10.4.3 dvd. Installed 10.4.3. Rebooted into 10.4.4/5 dvd. Installed updates. Rebooted into 10.4.5. Working: PC Specs: Sony VAIO RB53 Mac OS X 10.4.5(NEW! )/Microsoft Windows XP Dual boots both flawlessly Intel Pentium 4 with HT 3.0 GHz | 1.25 GB SDRAM Dual Channel 400 mhz HDD: 200 GB HDD | Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio(works) | Internet: Intel PRO/100 VE(works) | GPU: ATI Radeon x800 series(works flawlessly): QE enabled/QE2D enabled/CI enabled (yes i copied it out of my sig ) MousePosé fixes mouse tearing. I made a custom kernel with base-patch, amd-enabler, and non-x, and I did not apply the SSE2 patch; my PC supports SSE3. Not Working: iTunes full screen visualizer Network Diagnostics panel(but who cares? My Internet works.. ) *FIXED* Screenie: : Can anyone recommend any neat Mac games, or just neat applications? EDIT: Fixed pc model..no such thing as RGB. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12080-success-ii-sony-vaio-rb53/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Jansons Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi, I'm also on 10.4.5, but I did upgrade from 10.4.3 (I used patched DVD). I had the same problem with Network Settings Sys Prefs, I used this method found here. Give it a try, maybe It'll help (just make file backups before).

Hmm.. didn't need to try that, it mysteriously started working. Thanks anyway though. Added a screenshot of my desktop.

Korrupted Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I mixed up the ethernet adapter I have; it's my laptop with the realtek, not the RB53. What version of OS X are you running? On my laptop, the realtek ethernet worked in 10.4.3, but as soon as I switched to 10.4.5, it stopped.
