Hello,

 

I have been trying to install Mac OS X with Boot 132 on a Thinkpad, problem I got stuck pretty quickly ...

 

What I' m using :

(never tried iDeneb or anything like, but according to the wiki Mac OS X can run on this laptop)

 

What I did :

  • In the BIOS I set SATA mode in compatibility mode as someone advised on this forum for this particular laptop
  • I boot with the Boot CD
  • insert the original Mac OS DVD no 1
  • then I have the blank screen with the grey apple (I also tried the -v option, no particular error appears)
  • then a blue screen come

now the problem :

  • then I have the Leopard wallpaper and the rainbow wheel turning
  • and that's it … it keep turning without end, no HD activity, no DVDROM activity

What I' m wondering :

  • How can I know what is the problem? Get some logs?
  • Is Mac OS X 10.5.2 too old to do that?
  • As the X61 does not have any DVD drive, I use an external one, can it make any pb with the install?
  • Should I use another Boot 132 and add some kext, if yes where should I begin?

Any idea to get started? Thanks for your help ;)

 

Fred
