numlnotes Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello everyone, I have been reading reading and reading this forum for months , in my search for having MAC on a PC Now i am facing a situation which has nearly bowled me out.. Situation: I wanted to try Leopard , after having tried JaS 10.4.8 on my DELL-Gx260 ( went well) What i did: I downloaded iATKOS 4.0i , iDENEB 10.5.5 , Kalyway 10.5.2 and was lucky to have downloaded complete files( checked their Md5) And tried them on my Dell GX-260 ( all of them OK with some fixes here and there), then tried it on my PC (Core2Duo-T4500, 250GB SATA- Went well again).. Now i actually wanted to have them on my newly-bought( yet an old model) laptop ( HP-520 < CoreDuo T2500-120GB SATA etc.. iGB DDR2-667 .) Problem: On my laptop install goes OK..but it freezes minutes after going on.. in iATKOS i faced a LOOP at Welcome screen.. in others all was clear till the end.. I was crazy to download and try all of them of my LAPTOP but none worked-All freeze I Read: threads about it in this forum and tried options of -s, -x -y -z cpus=1, -x --and the one about putting password on the root..and many such things Also threads about Disabling LAN and Changing SATA MODE to something AHCI... here is where i am stopped and writing this post.. I checked bios of my laptop and it has a Basic inteface, and there is no option of LAN disabling ..and for SATA there is only one that states that "SATA Native mode= Enable/Disable" ( have tried both ways but the same Frozen result) I am installing it with an empty HDD ( no partition business or multiboot stuff) Would be highly thankful, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136753-hp-520-freezes-on-ideneb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
