moseschrist Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 seems like that my thinkpad is the only one which doesn't like osx... i got the "bad" dothan cpu, the one without pae and nx, but in the HCL it seems like that my cpu will run and install with the right patches... the problem is, i cant even install... i'm trying to install using vmware, and it's always crashing because my cpu isn't pae enabled. i've tried the mach_kernel.all kernel, but it didn't work... and i couldn't find the nonx kernel... maybe it's because i'm installing with VMware ? if i'd be installing wihtout it would it work ?

While I can't so for sure it will work, chances are yes. I have been trying for a while to install in VMware on a T42 (work machine, so dual booting other than linux is discouraged), no luck at all! I have a spare T40 (1.6Ghz) that I have installed on fine. Changed permissions on the PS2 drivers and enabled the touchpad in the bios. Works great execpt for no wireless drivers! Anyone have drivers for a Cisco Aironet mini-pci? I am trying to get one of my external cards (orinoco gold or Linksys WPC11 working on it and I will be all set, until we need the computer for something actually work related! If I happen to find a solution for the VMWare install issue I will post it.

sixth Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 How are you guys getting OS X installed on your thinkpads? I have a T41 and I cant seem to get mine to boot, I get "Still Waiting for Boot Device"....I have been trying everything and still cant get it installed. Anyone of you guys care to give me some pointers that may help me with getting this thing to boot? Something I am missing?

moseschrist Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 is the boot partition where osx is installed on is set to primary ? osx has trouble when it's installed on a logical/extended partirion. at least so have i heard...
