Hi everybody!

 

I'm trying to install iDeneb 1.3 (OSX 10.5.5) on my Lenovo Y530 laptop, it's a centrino 2. Here is his content :

- cpu : P7350

- graphic : nvidia 9500M G

- wireless : intel 5100 abg

- wired network : NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express

 

After many tries I've managed to boot to the welcome screen where I can choose a country, then my keyboard layout and then transfer data from another mac or time machine etc... But when I select "don't import anything" it wait for a moment then take me back to the welcome screen of the beginning!

I've looked for clues to resolve this but cannot find anything relevant, so I wonder if any of you can help me?

 

I'm booting on the 9.5 vanilla kernel (as the result was the same with 9.2 and my cpu support sse to 4.1), with only the ICH patch and with the default smbios. I can only get the welcome screen when I boot with the "-x" option.

 

Edit : I've seen here that there could be a link between the ICH patch and activating AHCI in the bios. With or without AHCI activated, the result is the same, still stuck!

Try

 

1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the "boot:" prompt and wait for the prompt ":/ root#" to appear, type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ":/ root#" to re-appear.

 

2. Mount the file system by typing "mount -uw /" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt.

3. Change the root password by typing "passwd root" at the ":/ root#" prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested.

4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing

"touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt

5. Boot the system by typing "exit" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt.

 

6. Reboot from HDD with "-v -f" and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter "root" as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.

The kernel you should choose depend on your hardware, I didn't select anything from the kernel customize part, that's why I'm booting on the 9.5 vanilla kernel. If it boot to the screen where you can specify you language etc that's good, you can keep this kernel. Then to resolve this loop you just have to follow the procedure given by verdant, except you should boot with the -s -x option instead of -s only.

I was wondering what was working on the Lenovo y530?

 

Video qe/ci?

power management?

sound?

speedstep?

shutdown?

WIreless? I don't think there are drivers for the supplied card but I have heard you can install a wifi card in the slot under the hard drive

 

And what distro/patches/drivers you are using inflames?

 

I am interested in getting one myself and would like to know a bit more before I take the plunge and theres almost no info on it out there that I can see

 

Thanks!
