schady4 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Ahh, finally a thread for a computer i own. I have a similar model acer -extensa 5420 with rs690 chipset and x1250 video. To install basically use leopard 10.5.1 amd.intel. zephyroth has a sb600 pff patch for his iso's or you can find the kext files to patch. If that doesn't work use and external hard drive and install to the external, patch with appropriate kext files, there is some software that let's you make your own install iso by STLVNUB. It would be nice to have my own installation disks that i don't have to post patch all the time. No luck for quartz on our igp video card yet. If you have any info on the video card let me know patching calisto doesn't do much. Feel free to PM me i've been working at getting leopard working on this computer good since January.
