Jack87 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Has anyone come up with a solution to turn this install into snow? 10.6.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi all, Finally finished intalling XxX 10.5.6 last night, wicked distro you guys. Amazing think of beauty. I am still struggling with getting my wireless atheros working, I had a message after installing IO80211Family Kext that there was a new device found. Now I have a yellow dot and AIRPORT ON but even with Kismac it still doesn't find my WPA2 network. I have tried allowing airport to assist me and is says other airport network but when I try to input my password it says incorrect password, I have checked my router and can find no mac equivalent of the password. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I realise it may be in the thread but there is so much info in there for a total MAC newbie I am lost. I may have to upgrade to a 1390 card.

exuptoy Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Reinstalled everything to make my acer dual boot and when I finished with OS X it finally connected to the net but after rebooting Kismac no longer finds my network. Why? What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Finally sorted it by swapping out the wireless card for the 1390 but it was a PITA trying to find a windows xp driver. Got there in the end though. Thanks for all the advice and input everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Just noticed the resolution is only 800x600 and there is no option for anything else. When checked the extensions file, I noticed there are quite a few drivers in there, ie gma950ga plugin, gma950gldriver bundle, gma950vadriver bundle, gmax3100fb, ga, va and gl drivers, surely this will conflict and I should remove some of these. I made the mistake of adding gma950 driver from pauls wind drivers thinking that it would give me extra resolution settings and just succeeded in hanging on the startup screen and had to do a safe start then delete the file which is when I found all these others. Anyone have any advice for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Would Netbookinstaller 8.2 cure my resolution maladies as I am lost. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exuptoy Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Resolution sorted. Deleted 4 of the kexts which are included in the paulswind pack and noticed clamshell missing. Anyway reinstalled all 5 drivers and voila. Just need to sort out the tap click on the mouse and I'm there! Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvisl Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hey, after i Install the Diablo's Kexts/Part1 and Move /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/PowerManagement.bundle to the trash. which should get me a better resolution just gets me a gray screen with some odd horizontal bars like if there would be some screen issues, this is the second time it happens to me after installing those kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Using it, I have managed to get 10.5.8 up and running on my Acer Aspire One A150, 120 GB HD. For the record, I followed the guide, as written, right through to the end which produced a functional 10.5.5. I then went back to start again at para 41 running through to the end, substituting Combo 10.5.8 for 10.5.5. There were a few issues at the end of this: 1. Screen display - fixed by removing the AppleIntelGMA950.kext 2. Keyboard/touchpad - fixed by installing AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext, ApplePS2Controller.kext, ApplePS2Keyboard.kext 3. WiFi - fixed by the well known swap of the Dell wireless card for the Atheros. 4. Sleep - don't use it so have not looked at fixing it. Thanks again.

carrot Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 ok, i got through the bios update no problem at all, but i'm hanging on the actual kalyway install. I have an external DVD-Rom and Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_AMD.iso but when i try to boot from the DVD rom, it goes right on to load windows XP. how do i get it to load the CD??? I had that same problem and realized my external cd/dvd drive wasnt actually dvd at(it turns out most are not) and in reality it couldnt even read DVD's.

theCollector Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I had that same problem and realized my external cd/dvd drive wasnt actually dvd at(it turns out most are not) and in reality it couldnt even read DVD's. i HATE it when that happens! apparently there are certain DVD drives that will read OSX and some that won't, so when you do get a DVD-rom, don't be surprised if it still gives you problems. good luck!!

FrogsRhoppin Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm using the 3310 bios but every time I load them it says "Bios did not support this version of flash" Idk if I missed a something? I have tried the 3304 and got the same error.. I'll keep trying for a month if I can actually find a way to get this crappy windows system off, I cant even change the background and it keeps shutting down out of nowhere to install "important updates". It's plugged in also* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´d tell you to save yourself the time to look for a DVD-Rom that works perfectly for this kind of things, it´s best to buy an 8Gb USB stick and run the OS installation from it... It´s worked for me. plus no wires at all. cheers, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbizarro Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm using the 3310 bios but every time I load them it says "Bios did not support this version of flash" Idk if I missed a something? I have tried the 3304 and got the same error.. I'll keep trying for a month if I can actually find a way to get this crappy windows system off, I cant even change the background and it keeps shutting down out of nowhere to install "important updates". It's plugged in also* goto acer and redownload it.. There is an app in the zip file that will run in Windows and will let you update the flash within windows.. Well I finally decided to play with this and after loading up to 10.5.5 decided to take the plunge and go for 10.5.8. And thats when the fun started.. First it said Update Unsuccessful then after getting it to restart.. It loaded anyway.. But.. Killed my onboard Keyboard, Mouse, Network, Video.. So after I managed to reload the original kept files as per the original page I now have all that back.. Also plugged in my USB bluetooth and that loaded 1st time.. Doing some updates right now.. When I get a replacement Wireless Card I should be good to go.. The only thing I would like to resolve is the 2 Flash Card Readers and maybe a higher resolution. But on the whole If I can Image the HDD I will be happy.. Rob.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
