gpgorbosjr Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Last time I checked the whole Mac on PC thing it seemed like only an Intel processor would do. So, after arguing with a Mac guy as to whether or not a PC can run Mac OS I checked the whole thing out again and saw that some installs support AMD and decided to try it on my Toshiba Satellite. I used iDeneb v 1.3 10.5.5 If I just start the install without any options it loads the gray screen with the apple and does nothing else. If I do the debug it stops after: MAC Framework successfully intitialized using 9830 buffer headers and 4896 cluster IO buffer headers IOAPIC: Version 0x21 Vectors 0:23 It's an AMD Turion (2.2 ghz x2 I think) 2 gb of ram and a 250gb hdd.

Do you have any details on the motherboard chipset; is it Intel or nForce based?

gpgorbosjr Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Got stuck again, but I'm burning another disc right now. The iso file was susposed to be pre-patched, but I'm hoping that they either didn't do it or did not do it right rather than it doesn't work.

Unpatched iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release.iso file has MD5 checksum 5eb1aaff70d1f5810cd62e9d075d812e. PPF1 patched iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release.iso file (burned to DVD) has MD5 checksum of 0c93dea47a999344a3b4303740f623f9 after patching. PPF1 patched .iso file patched again with PPF2 has MD5 checksum of patched ISO after PPF2 patching: 0fbdc0ed0bed502e026cca9cf42efa2c.

gpgorbosjr Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 It has the last checksum you posted. So it's patched properly, and I burned it at 4x (Nero won't give me a 2x or lower option). I don't know what the problem is. I have a Satellite A215-4767 which I don't see there. Also, most of those Satellites are Intels (if not all) so I don't think that trying to find a similar model would help me.

What specific boot screen error messages do you get when booting the DVD with "-v -x cpus=1 platform=ACPI|86PC -legacy"......?

I don't get any boot errors. If I run it without the -v it just sits on the white screen with the apple. The circle doesn't even come up. With -v, it goes through the extensions and all and gets stuck on a the same spot the other dcd got stuck on.

gpgorbosjr Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 The lack of BIOS options is worrying.......... Yea, the BIOS absolutely sucks. All it has is a Main section with System Date/Time, Quiet Boot, Power On Display, LCD Display Stretch, Total Memory, Bios Version, and Language. Advanced with legacy usb support, and some lan and wakeup options. Security where you can set a password. Others with only alarms and beeps. And finally a boot system. It is one of the most plain and disgusting bios I have ever seen lol.

gpgorbosjr Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, I am pretty sure something with the BIOS is stopping this from working. I have Phoeneix BIOS 2.00. If anyone knows of a workaround please tell, otherwise I guess I'm hosed.

Without being able to configure SATA as Enable or as AHCI mode, you may have problems with OSx86......but check here for OS X 10.5.2...... For OS X 10.4.3 for example these are listed as incompatible.... Satellite 1135-s155 Satellite M45-S351 Satellite M45-s265: Hangs at boot Satellite M35-s359: Hangs at boot .

gpgorbosjr Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I found this post here That seems to be my problem. For right now I'm working on getting a version of Kalyway because Option 1 confuses the heck out of me (And so does option 3, only I don't have a Mac anyway, but a friend does). If Kalyway doesn't work I'll probably give myself some time to think about the other two.

gpgorbosjr Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Asked over on the Toshiba forums at their site if there is anyway to enable AHCI, assuming no, but doesn't hurt to ask.
