mikE_2oo0 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hey all, I hope this is the correct section on the board for this question/problem. If not, feel free to move the topic. I have tried to install Mac OSX Kaliway 10.5.2 on my above mentioned laptop. It's an old laptop, I know. I tried the iATKOS 10.5.5 before, but the kernel wouldnt allow it to boot. With the Kaliway release I finally managed to boot Mac OSX to a certain point. The sleepkernel, speedstepkernel, and kabylkernel all boot, the others just end up in a reboot-loop. However, the booting stops at some point. I load it up with the -v command, all seems to work. Then a grey screen appears with a mouse cursor. But then, thats it. Nothing happens. The harddrive seems to try to load something occasionally and the mouse cursor disappears after a while, only to reappear once I move the mouse. I would assume that this is supposed to be the point where I "set up" the OS? I'm really at a loss here, I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could point me in the right direction. Here are some specs from the laptop: Intel Pentium M 715 1.5 GHz 2MB L2 Cache Intel 855GME, 400Mhz FSB 512 MB, DDR-SDRAM, 333 Mhz, 2x256MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - 64 MB 15.4 Zoll 16:10, 1280x800 Pixel, WXGA Glare Type TFT Display Harddrive 60GB 4200U/Min ATA100VGA-Out, Kensington, S-Video, LAN, Modem, 2x USB, PCMCIA, Firewire Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG DVD+/-RW Dual I hope this helps!
