dweb8888 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 What settings did you select during the install. I am running the same distro in my HP nx7300 and have no problems since day one. What are the specs of your computer anyway? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147767-iatkos-5i-in-dv6620ei/#findComment-1046896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dweb8888 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well, these were the settings I used when installing and is what I suggested to another member here. Bootloader - PC EFI V9 X86 Patches - Decrypters - AppleDecrypt - SMBIOS drivers - SMBIOS Enablers - AMBIOS EFI Air - Kernel - 9.2.0 Kernel ToH (should work fine I think) - ACPI - X86 ACPI (just to be safe) - Disabler.kext - Remove PowerManagement.kext - Remove Thermal kexts Drivers - select the Graphics Update plus the drivers for your card. System - SATA - select the one for your HD - Speedstep - Inel Speedsep b (just like the app that comes with it better than the one from the "a") - Network - well, I would select all of them in case you change the LAN card or something. Now, the error you got has to do with the HD (i think). I selected the Intel AHCI SATA for mine. Not sure what yours is, so either search it (if you don't know already) or use this setting and pray . Hope this helps. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147767-iatkos-5i-in-dv6620ei/#findComment-1046982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dweb8888 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 That battery display is not a problem for me since I am always on AC and actually never bothered to look for solution. As for the sound I can not help you here since we have different sound cards. Search the forum, maybe someone has custom drivers for your card. If not, either use a USB solution for sound (if it works) or you have to wait. On my laptop I only have sound output and that's about it. Look in the forum for AzaliaAudio and see if that helps. By the way, are you using both cores? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147767-iatkos-5i-in-dv6620ei/#findComment-1048834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbuster Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ok, thx again... No, 1 core only i need set cpus=1 or video crash =/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147767-iatkos-5i-in-dv6620ei/#findComment-1048964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweb8888 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 OK, I am currently testing something here, so maybe you can help. Try to boot without cpus=1. Normal boot with both cores. If it hangs, unplug the AC and after 3-5 sec. plug it back in. See if it continues to boot. Try it a few times. If still doesn't work, try to boot on battery. When it hangs, plug the AC in and see what happens. This is how I am running both cores on mine. Sometimes it also boots with both cores if I use "cpus=1, -v". The comma should be there. If you don't mind can you try that out and let me know what happened? Thanks.
