iAtkos v5i on Asus A3N laptop (intel 855gm)

[thianna]

Hy Guys,

 

I am trying to install Leopard on this laptop:

 

Model: Asus A3N (year 2004, yes, it’s pretty old )

 

Processor: Intel Pentium M 715 (1.5Ghz, bus speed 400Mhz, 2MB L2)

Memory: 1024+256 MB DDR, 266Mhz

Hard Drive: 160 GB, 7200rpm

Motherboard/chipset: Intel 855GM& ICH4-M

Graphic Processor: Embedded Intel 855GM VGA

Display: 15”, max resolution 1024x768

 

 

First i’ve tried the iATKOS_5i.iso release, but i got several errors.

 

I boot up the dvd, fine.

I get the license agreement, etc, fine.

I get the disk utility, erase the partition (10GB, extended journal fs), fine.

I select the dirvers (customize …) … i think i miss something at this step

Push the install button, fine.

 

At the first HDD reboot, i get several errors, and a hang up, which can be resolved only with the computer’s power button. In –v mode, the main problem is shown at the GenericCPUPowermanagement driver.

 

For the boot, i’m using chameleon. I’ve already tried the EFI way, but it freezed the laptop earlier than the chameleon.

 

Does anbody have any experiments with this computer/chipset type, or any suggestion to resolve my problem?

 

I’m a newbie at he osx install, so maybe the solution is quite simple. If you have any idea, please help me

 

 

Thanks,

Thianna

hi - I believe that your chipset (Intel 855) is your problem - not supported (http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t88147.html)

Any success on this problem ? I have the same laptop, I also succeed to make the install process succesfully, but the next reboot hangs up on the apple with the distrib iatko v7.

 

Any advice are welcome.

 

Thanks

I succeed in installing Leopard with iAtkos v5 on a nx9030 with the same Intel 855GM, it works very good. I used voodoo 9.5, EFI as boot loader Intel Sata drivers and Realtek drivers.
