FrostByte101 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi I am totally new to anything MAC but I have been given a IBM ThinkPad T41 and would like to try and install 10.5 Leopard. Has anyone done this before on this type of hardware? If so I am looking for some pointers as I have downloaded the installation software. Here are some of the specs on the machine I have. IBM ThinkPad T41 Chipset Intel i855PM Graphic interface AGP version 2 CPU Intel Pentium M Banias Socket 479 mPGA 1400Mhz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149688-installing-osx86-105-leopard-on-thinkpad-t41/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
don123 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There is an 855 driver for the video card but its for 10.4.1 and I've yet to make it work. Simplest way to get something on the T41 would likely be Kaly 10.5.1 + PS2 kext I've read a couple of threads on this very model already - its all been done b4 - you should use the search... PS: I have a Gateway 6020GZ which is also 855 based - I have no trouble getting 10.4 or 10.5 "running" but lack of a graphics driver and proper AC97 operation sort of makes it somewhat painful and frustrating.

FrostByte101 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Don Thanks for the information I was able to download the Kaly 10.5.1 and I am trying right now to see if I can get this beast to boot in the Mac OS. Now what is PS2 kext for. What version do I need?

don123 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 PS/2 kext is for the keyboard and mouse to work after install :-) I used a usb keyboard to get it on... I found it on this forum - don't have a link, just search Install Kaly with the SSE2 option only.
