Will V Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What's cooking guys? I'm trying to get OSX 10.5.2 installed in my HP laptop. I have a spare HD and i'm trying to install it as my primary OS. I've tried both DVDs but apparently both DVDs get during the loading page. I dont even get to the blue screen with the color cursor... So i was wondering if any of these 2 OS can be installed in my laptop? perhaps someone else has tried it and can confirm this for me or even recommend another version that i should try. Thank you, Will V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will V Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks for the info, i was hoping someone could tell me whether it works or not. When i try the Leo4All 10.5.2 it gets stuck on a blue screen after the booting off the DVD (where i'm supposed to get the color cursor which never comes on) When i try Kalyway it gets stuck on the loading screen when booting off the DVD (the darwin loading screen)...

Gujal Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Use the Leo4all disk to install. The blue screen with no cursor means it has switched to external monitor and treating your laptop screen as secondary. You need to connect an external monitor during the install and your laptop screen can be enabled once you have completed the install by using natit for GMA 950 or X3100 PS: And someone can tell if it works on your laptop if you tell us what laptop it is! HP Intel Centrino laptop just doesnt make any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gujal Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That model uses GMA900 for display. natit is only for GMA950 and X3100. For your display you can try this driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will V Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks for helping me out with this. I'm actually still working on the laptop LOL I'm going for a second install cause the first time the installation finished successfully; however, after clicking on restart, the darwin loading screen keeps on coming up and it just goes on a loop. It appears to be loading, then it restarts the machine again and so on. Dont know if it makes any difference but I first picked Vanilla Kernel 9.2.2 and now i'm trying with vanilla kernel 9.2.0. If that doesnt work then I'll have to look more into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 You cant run Vanilla kernel on your laptop. chose SSE2 patched kernel Vanilla kernel can run only or Core2 Cpus and the very latest Pentium D and Celeron D (i dont have the model numbers off hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will V Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 LOL another installation gone LOL I'm sure I'm not the only rookie going thru this or that have gone thru this LOL... I was actually folllowing the instructions from the wiki site http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/installation-support which recommended Vanilla kernel for intel processors but didnt specify that it applies to Core 2s. But then again, thankfully you've been able to guide me. Booting from DVD again now... going for my 3rd try since like you already expected it didnt work LOL... i'll My other choices are Kernel 9.2.0 and Kernel 9.2.2 which supposely are for AMDs. I dont see any other kernel stating that is patched but they do say SSE2 & SSE3 Okay so i'm at the customize screen right now. Besides the Vanilla kernels my other 3 choices are Kernel-9.2.0 (Speedstep 9.2.0 kernel SSE3/SSE2 from Netkas), Kernel-9.2.0-Sleep (Sleep 9.2.0 kernel from Netkas SSE2/SSE3) and finally Kernel-9.2.2 (New modified 9.2.2 kernel SSE3 only from Modbin) So i'm going with Kernel 9.2.0 (SSE2/SSE3). As for the drivers i picked Intel-ICHx for chipset, AC97 for Audio and for GMA950 eventhough you said ti wont work but i just put it so it can load a driver.

Will V Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hey Gujal! I got the OS running (pretty good i may add). I got sound, Ethernet, Video (using the drivers from the link you gave me) and everything else seems to be working just fine. The only one thing that is missing drivers is my wifi card (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200). I'm currently reading the instructions to install the IWI200 drivers from iwidarwin as those are the only drivers i've found. the only drawback is that i ready it cannot be use thru the apple's wifi manager or connect to WEP networks but I guess some sort of wifi is better than nothing right? Thanks again for all the help you provided! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
