sherm Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 got it all working! Here are my specs Intel 945PSN Motherboard Pentium D 820 Processor 2 GB Crucial Memory Sapphire X700 Pro Video w/256MB memory WD SATA 250 GB Sony DVD-Rom Plextor 716SA SATA Dual Layer DVD Burner 10.4.5 Patched DVD I installed XP first, on half of hard drive. Created a second partition, formatted it as a FAT32 partition, then rebooted with OSX. Used disk utility to find the FAT32 partition, convert it to a extended journaled partition, and let installer take it over. Upon reboot, nothing worked. So, using the hires boot cd, toggled the OSX partition as active, and rebooted. Darwin came up, with 2 options-the XP partition and OSX. Both work just fine. I really have no idea why the Darwin bootloader worked so easily for me, after reading some of the stories of others trying to get dual booting to work. Got the video card finally working with Koverg's patch, but the first time I installed OSX (I did this twice) it did not work. The second time was a charm. Got sound working with the AppleHDA.kext and the other kext mentioned (sigmatech 9220 chipset) in other threads. However, like others, have to use the blue jack instead of the green one for sound. The only issue I have now is I cannot boot into 1600 X 1200 for my flat panel. The ?Video option says this is possible, but it hangs. So, 1280X1024 is what I have for now. Installed Firefox, but version 1.5 for me was pretty slow. So I grabbed the nightly build from the ftp site optimized for Intel processors, and it is very quick. Now I just need to play around and experiment with OSX. Quite a leap for someone raised on Windows. I know this much...I won't be changing anything for sometime.

sherm Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 All I did was use the AppleHDA.kext and the azalia (I know this is the wrong spelling, it is the one I used) kext from 10.4.3. I found the instructions on another thread (dont have the time now to find it, just search for Sigmatech 9220) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13232-finally/#findComment-87895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
