Anyone successfully installed osx in Acer 7730g?

 

My laptop specs: T6400, pm45/ich9m, nvidia 9600m GT, realtek alc888/1200, Broadcom Bcm5764m wired and intel 5100 wireless network, 2x500gb achi sata drives(first contains original vista and second hdd is in 1 partition osx journaled->i planned to use bios in role of bootloader).

 

 

I tried various distros (in their default installation settings) without success:

1. Jas 10.5.4

2. iDeneb 1.3

3. iDeneb 1.4

4. iAtkos 5 i

 

First day i only managed to go through installation process with iAtkos->and then nothing. At second day i bought Samsung external usb dvd drive then all but iAtkos go trough installation and then nothing->best try was iDeneb 1.3 and welcome screen loop. Please help!

I've sucessfully Installed it on the same Notebook - I used iDeneb 1.3. If you have troubles at the login screen try:

  • Boot in safe mode (-x)
  • If Welcome Menu crashes at Data transfer you have to transfer It from an other OSX installation (best from an USB drive)

Hardware/Drivers:

  • 9600M GT works with Q/E and CI
  • Networking doesn't work at All (No drivers for Intel Wlan, LAN doesn't work with built in Driver)
  • Sound doesn't work jet - I'm searching...

Good luck :(

any progress here?

 

i also tried installing it on the Acer 7730G[-644G100MN]

 

specs:

MEM: 2x 2GB ram

CPU: T6400 2 GHz

HDD: 2x 500GB

AUDIO: Realtek ALC888/1200

LAN: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5764M

WLAN: Intel® WiFi Link 5100 AGN

 

i successfully installed Kalyway, but had to skip the Welcome screen via the single user console...

also no sound, no lan or wlan, and no correct display resolution...

 

i think ill try iDeneb too :(

 

EDIT: someone installed 10.5.7 on his laptop without any problems, i guess ill try it too
