newbe mac Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi guys; thanks for all the contributions, 6 mos ago I bought a DELL and use Kalyway 10.5.2; even the installation was not too smooth but I got it done by searching all the help here.. I just bought another one; 99% identical (just the CPU is slightly faster). I use the exact same disc and the installer will not load. It gave me the com.apple error: "applePCIconfiguator has immediate dependecies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi; USE ONLY ONE STYLE" and "coreRAID server not responding". I will be trying the LEO4all and iATKOS soon, but can anyone tell me why this might happen? I checked with dell and they use the exact same motherboard and chipset, just a bit faster cpu. PS: I used the -v -x -y cpus=1 option as well. just a thought: can I just clone my HDD on the successful installation to the new HDD and make it run???? thanks for all the help! forgot to mention; last time it went to the graphic installer without a problem..... **************** the screen stops at: kernel version: darwin kernel version 9.2.0 -(date here) made by ToH:xnu-1228/build/obj/release/I386 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141694-2nd-time-on-dell-vostro-220-tower-installer-wont-load/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehunt123 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Grabbed iPC 10.5.6 and with normal boot options, I was good to go. You must have an external pci-e card in here since the GMA4500 looks to never be supported. I got a low-profile GeForce 7300 from a friend. After I got into 10.5.6 (no hiccups from a standard path you can find well documented here), I enabled the latest NVidia drivers and bam, we were good to go. To install, disable all CPU options. I Was able to install w/o changing the SATA transfer mode, however. The only trouble, like I had in Linux is this odd sound card it has on-board. The actual chip is a Realtek ALC662 rev1, that seems to _not_ be compatable with previous implementations of the ALC662 codec work (on both mac and linux). After a few more hours, I tried voodooHDA (from 20090422) and--almost like windows--a reboot did the trick! I have only tested 2-ch audio from mp3s so far but it plays very nicely. Hope that helps others with this setup since its a great machine for cheap.
