Opes Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hello everyone. Im trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Dell Latitude D505, but when it comes to the installation screen, its just grayscale. I went to the BIOS to make the VRAM 8mb's, but there is nothing about it there. Do I need to update this BIOS maybe? It is A07 BIOS, and the latest is A11. If so, any way I can install it without installing Windows on the computer? Any help appreciated! - Opes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138379-kalyway-1052-on-dell-latitude-d505/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that the A11 upgrade was a Windows executable, so you will likely need Windows installed first. Some pointers in installing Kalyway 10.5.2, enable the SSE2 option and the iwi2200beta drivers(if you have the intel2200 wifi card installed) during installation. After installation, you will need to chmod 0755 the iwi2200.kext directory to enable the wifi. I haven't managed to get WEP to work(even with the latest iwidarwin drivers), but unsecured WIFI is okay.

Opes Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Okay. Can I use PartPE? I have A11.exe on a flash drive . Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138379-kalyway-1052-on-dell-latitude-d505/#findComment-979748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangkeng Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Okay. Can I use PartPE? I have A11.exe on a flash drive . No idea. I installed A11 from WinXp sp3. Since it's BIOS flashing, you might not want to take the chance with BartPE. BTW, I've place my installation steps for the D505 in the 10.5.2 compatibility wiki.

Opes Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Did you install with the SSE2_Jas1048_ACPI_APIC option enabled? Formated the disks with MBR option? No, I formatted them with GUID option. Got this fixed by unchecking the PowerManagement. Thank you everyone. Your instructions helped me a lot kangkeng!
