Flexia Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110us with Processor AMD Turion X2 mobile processor RM-70 / 2 GHz Hard Drive 200 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 4200 rpm Graphics Processor / Vendor NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G Shared video memory (UMA) Ram 3GB DDR2 Now what every version of OSX I try to install it either freezes or reboots the laptop. iDeneb is the only one that freezes before it even shows any text with -v. I have also tried Leo4allv3 and it reboots after i used -v but has like 5 lines of text and it really goes to fast to read. Kalaway does the same thing as leo4all. I have read up on the HP dv6000 thread and it seems like the laptop hardware is very simular to what I have but still nothing they mention has been working for me. Also am a noob when it comes to OSX and installing it on a pc. Help would be really greatfull.

mysterymacperson Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Same again guys, Compaq Presario CQ50 110EM, Turion 64x2 RM-70, nforce controller, MCP78s chipset (you should all have that too), and geforce 8200m. I've been told that 10.5.6 is the earliest version that supports our mcp78s as the new macbooks are based on mcp79, thats a pretty close match. As yet, I haven't had any luck whatsoever with any distro, but have been able to get tiger installing in VMWare using the guide at http://######.com/index.php?option=...6&Itemid=32 I am still working on how to get 10.5.6 Retail working on AMD, I think its probably going to be a case of getting the Boot 132 for intel and sticking the AMD-friendly voodoo kernel into it and booting the retail that way. If I get a chance I'll report my findings here, but thats what I plan to do, maybe if you all know enough you can do the same, see if anyone misses something, or gets lucky and let the rest of us know lol Cheers guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134668-amd-turion-x2-mobile-processor-rm-70-help/#findComment-1111468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauloalb Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hey plz if you have any info on how to get it working let me know i will be greatful and so will the rest of the community Hi there, I have a compaq cq60-153EM. Same specs. I managed to get the 10.5.7 working with ethernet ok but no sound, no qi/ci . I had the same problems like all of you but i discovered that if you have an usb mouse connected ( mine is the hp wireless optical) and you move it around continuously until you get the weel moving below the apple logo, it wont freeze. Maybe it has something to do with the chipset/usb... If i don´t move the mouse around , it freezes just about after it boots darwin, or reboots...I was not able to make it recognise the internal dvd/hdd so i installed osx connecting an external usb dvdrom and installed the OS to an external usb hdd. I now boot directly from the usb external hdd by pressing f9 just after laptop power up and then choose the external hdd from the boot menu. My best results are iatkos 10.5.7 , selecting only the core system and voodoo 9.5.0 kernel, nothing else. after that i installed the ps2mousefix from the ideneb comboupdatekit1057 to get the keyboard and trackpad working. Installed the aditional nvidia drivers and video performance improved upon reboot. voodoohda caused several kernel panics, some prevented correct boot, so, as i have no sound, i just removed the vodoohda kext and rebooted with -f to "solve" the issue. Now i am hopping to install some sort os kext to support the MCP78S chipset and get QI/CI and sound working... Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134668-amd-turion-x2-mobile-processor-rm-70-help/#findComment-1214365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
