comopasta Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi, I need to get Leopard 10.5.7 running on this Thinkpad T41. The main details are below. I've had 10.5.3 running there using Kaliway but screwed up the system. I wonder if I can get to 10.5.7 faster nowadays. Would you recommend a path for such a system? Thanks.

comopasta Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi, After around 15 trials I finally got T41 working with OSX 10.5.6 I've tried, iAtkos-5i, iPC_OSX_10.5.6 and XxX_10.5.6_Leo_Install This is what I used: - iPC 10.5.6 with the next selections: -- Base system -- 9.0.4 StageXNU Universal Kernel -- Intel ICHx SATA Drivers -- Intel Pro 100/VE -- Atheros AR5007EG -- Patches USB Drivers -- ACPI Fix -- CPUS=1 Core fix -- IOPCMCIAFamily Booted with -v -f and works "fine" apparently. Obviously there will be some issues but for example USB, BT and such are fine from scrath, I had some problems with 10.5.3 with those.... Boots very quick and seems quite stable. - In any case I think there's some problems with hybernate, sleeps and all that - Also I am currently using D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 wireless PCI card but is not detected, the "Link" led blinks but I can't get it activated. I got it working with 10.5.2 but I don't remember what I had to do, tried to search but might take time to find again the right instructions. Does anyone has some hints so I can get it working? (I'm thinking to buy some USB unit but I should investigate what will be compatible and what I can find in the shops around....) - And then, before I screw up the system again. What would be the safest way to upgrade to 10.5.7 based on the selections I made. I have search the net/forum and found some hints but I would appreciate if there is a clear process. For example I've read about the famous Netkas safe upgrade process, which one is that? Any help? Thanks.

comopasta Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ok, so now I'm running OSX 10.5.7 :-) Basically these are the instructions I followed to upgrade from 10.5.6: cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext /Extra cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleDecrypt.kext /Extra cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/Dont\ Steal\ Mac\ OS\ X.kext /Extra cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.bak Install 10.5.7 via Apple Software Update reboot when it asks to F8 and for boot options: mach_kernel.bak -v -f When it is booted to the desktop, go ahead and mv /mach_kernel.bak /mach_kernel Use OSx86 Tools to repair permissions, extensions, etc (check all 8 options) Taken from Netkas site: http://netkas.org/?p=100 I had to get IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext from the net and install it with OSX tools. Two reboots and then booted fine. Now I have to get the wireless card working... Cheers.
