dekser Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 i've tried installing the following installs on my dell inspiron 9300: kalyway 10.5.1 - couldn't validate essentials package. something like that, every single attempt. the only resolution i've found is to keep trying? never works, 10+ attempts kalyway 10.5.2 - when booting from the dvd, i get panic(cpu 0 caller 0x14CB3DE0) : "AppleSMCPDRC : :start - unrecognized device type\n"@/SourceCache/IOPlatformPluginFamily/IOPlatformPluginFamily-315.0.3/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin/AppleSMCDRC.cpp 68 .... followed by more debug info, doesn't matter which kernel i try to boot with. JaS 10.5.4 - install completes, but keyboard and trackpad dont work. i dont have a usb kb to plug in at the moment, so i'll be attempting to complete this install tomorrow. curious as to why the kb and trackpad work fine in the pre-install, but not in the final install. every other i9300 leopard install i've read about uses a kalyway 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 install and everything (minus intel2200) supposedly works out of the box. my experience in troubleshooting osx install failures is limited. what can i do or where can i look to find out why the kalyway installs are failing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmcgpa Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I too cannot get osx86 installed on my Dell 9300. I did have a successful install at one point - my hd died, and when I replaced it I can't get any of the installs (Kaly 10.5.1, 10.5.2, iDeneb, etc) to work properly. Going a little crazy.

dekser Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 i replied to another post of yours somewhere. i tried leo4all but that was another horrible failure. JaS 10.5.4 is working but the kb and trackpad aren't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
