ubergeist Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have a Dell Inspiron 530 PC. I'm trying to boot into OS X Leopard using the generic.iso boot-123 disk (using the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.zip resulted in errors earlier on in the boot process). The installation hangs at: kextd[48] root filesystem is read-only. or if I change SATA mode in BIOS from IDE to RAID, it hangs at 'waiting for root device.' I'm not sure what to do here, I would really like to go a bit further than this. The Inspiron 530 uses a Foxconn G33M motherboard which is the G33 & ICH9R chipsets. From perusing this forum, it looks like others have got an Inspiron 530 working... I can't. Any ideas? Thanks.

achoi02 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 i'm sorry i can't help but i just installed on this using leo4all v3 and i could only get it to work under the IDE sata setting, perhaps try a different build of Leopard? now back to getting my sound working =.=; Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142471-dell-inspiron-530-genericiso-boot-123-kextd48-root-filesystem-read-only/#findComment-1010703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartont Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I tried the same method. Took too much time to setup for my taste. I use the normal old hack. I used iATKOs 4i for this machine, works well. You need hacked IOAHCIFamily.kext and AppleAHCIPort.kext for "RAID" sata mode. For 10.5.6 I had to replace AppleACPIPlatform.kext from 10.5.5. I attached my kext files including my hacked AppleHDA.kext.
