After several months trying to install several distros in the new Touchsmart IQ510 I found a solution.

 

HP Touchsmart IQ510

Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T5850 @ 2.17 GHz

4GB Ram

500GB HD

9300M GS Nvidia

 

 

Distro

=====

iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5

Installing Options

ICHx Fix

ACPI Fix

SMBIOS 667

CPUS=1 Fix :thumbsup_anim:

 

Big Issue

 

First Boot with CPUS=1 -s otherwise immediate restart

 

> mv /system/library/extensions/NVDAResman.kext /System/Library (if you want to save it (worthless)... if not... no working screen)

> exit

should get the initial configuration screen (no Mac Welcome Screen in this distro)

 

 

What´s working

===========

WiFi --> use RAlink 2860 installer http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html

LAN --> out of the box

Sound --> use Insanelymac's AzaliaAudio installer Hardware & Drivers Sound http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97201. USE output in the back cover. The left side output doesnt work.

Bluetooth --> out of the box

WebCam --> out of the box (you can see it during initial configuration :star_smile: )

 

Not Working 100%

=============

Screen VGA mode no QE or CI. Have tried dozens of alternatives. Use Graphics Mode 1680x1050x32 (max resolution anyway).

 

Hints

====

 

If during first boot (not installing) you get MAc Frame.... 4096 something and GET STUCK there, you have not chosen the correct options as stated above. ACPI is a killer for this machine and the other two options are required.

 

Enjoy.

 

 

====== UPDATE EDIT ===========

 

Fixed the cpus=1 bug. How? Used DSDT Patcher and installed the Chameleon Booter for dsds loading.

Wanted to include the dsdt.aml file but Im not allowed. PM if you need it.
