randallsbrooks Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If this is not the right location please point me to the correct one. I tried various ways to install OS X on a Dell Inspiron 518 and finally got iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6) to work. I upgraded the video card to an ATI 3570 and got the R1000 Network Card Drivers (Bonjour) and RealTek Audio to work. The system works great except 2 issues: 1. The shutdown and reboot options all just reboot. 2. (Most Important) After a certain period of time, I get the notification that I need to hit the power button to reboot. I disabled the sleep features and have even tried a timed reboot everyday with only minor success Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an inspiron 518 x64 desktop with 4gb ram and an intel core two duo I have had problems with ideneb as i could get it to install and load with the 1.4 version but the same 2 problems with you with the restarting and the notifications try this FIX= as the boot loader comes on screen and press any button and go to the command line and enter >cpus=1 -v -f -x[/u] **this is safe mode** or go into the boot CD and go to the terminal >sudo nano > /library/preferences/systemconfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist add at the end - cpus=1 <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> ##The Safe Mode works better as it doesn't get stuck loading at all but it is a hassle ^^for perminant safe mode enter the safe verbose code in blue into com.apple.boot.plist NOTE : ver 1.6 lite is out and works much better with the inspiron the 10 hour torrent download is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
