Acer 7720G - Leopard Install

ywdt · March 5, 2009

Hi,

I bought an Acer 7720G some time ago. It is a very nice peace of hardware and I wanted to install Mac Os X on it.

I tried differents distro with different results.

Specs of my 7720g are

- Intel T7500 / 2200Mhz

- Intel PM965 Chipset - ICH8M-E

- 2Gb Ram

- 2xWDC 250Gb SATA

- Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT

- Realtek ALC268 Audio Chip

- Broadcom BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet

- Intel 4965AGN Wifi

I used iATkos 5, IDeneb v1.4 10.5.5, IPc 10.5.6 PPF5, Kalway 10.5.2.

The most succesfull was the Kalway but i did not manage to get the Audio, ALC268 & BCM5787 working.

Also Kalway did not boot w/o DVD inserted in the drive.

With all other distro i got a kernel panic after installation. (ideneb 10.5.5 Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform)

I tried to switch from AHCI to IDE w/o success too.

So now, can someone post the links to

- Working ALC268 Ktext

- Working 4965AGN

- Working BCM5787M

And telling me why i can not boot directly from HD. (I use always the boot dvd with rd=disk0s2)

Any help appreciated.

Thanks you.
