annunaki Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I really think you need to try a different distro like iDeneb or Leo4All v4.1. Most folks that have system specs like yours (mine included) have had the best success with these. They have the latest "drivers"/kexts for most of your hardware, and it's already bumped up to Leopard 10.5.4! Anyway, you can check out my install here: HP dv6000 install Good luck, and I hope this helps.

rykielz Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Like the guy above me, I'd recommend iDeneb v1.1 I just got it to load on my HP dv2000 (Amd processor) Make sure you don't install any video drivers (doesn't seem to work if we have a gfx card with shared video memory i.e integrated video card.) and remove firewire. oh and at boot you have to include cpus=1, doesn't let me boot otherwise. Hope it helps. iDeneb dvd gives you a bunch of install options, once you boot from the iso it will make sense Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126045-what-to-download-for-my-compaq/#findComment-894143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
