Joho22 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi! Im a new member, though I have lurked on the forum as a guest reading a great deal of information about OSx86 before actually installing to my laptop. I made sure to research that it was compatible and so on and so forth. I then learned that the correct install for my laptop is Kalyway 10.5.1 then update to .2 I have downloaded and burned both disks. To make sure that I do not stray away from the correct installation I made sure to follow the "testing grounds" install tutorial for super noobies to osx86 (since I am) To get the install to start i pressed f8 and typed -mbr formatted the disk with utility (into Journaled extended [told you I read it Named the drive Osx86 with no spaces like read in the forum. Created a custom install (and this is where I think my problem starts) since I own an IBM thinkpad T40, I knew that I was using the MBR option not vanilla, but SSE2 though outside that... I am coming up short on information regarding' what other drivers to install or if any. I cannot find any tutorials or strong information leading to what type drivers I should be installing. then i hit me... should I be using the update disk now when it reboots after the install is completed? I havent tested it out but it was an idea. Could someone possibly point me into the right direction?

Joho22 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 So I tried to toss in the update dvd and to no avail. This time around, at the darwin screen, instead of typing -mbr i opted to test out -v after my screen filled with text, I went back into the the installer screen and currently checking the install dvd again. (just to be 100% sure) I reformatted the drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled Custom install again, this time only selected MBR and SSE2 and sent it along its way. Ill update as soon as I get one. Still if anyone knows an easy fix on this, your help is welcomed and very appreciated.
