10.4.5 success on my new IBM R50e laptop!

[Icebreaker]

Sound and ethernet work out of the box and I´m very pleased with the performance!

 

There are only few things that are not supported, such as CI, QE and Open GL and my question is whether something can be done about that? The graphics card in this computer is just integrated Intell 800 something and the screen res is 1024x768.

 

I bought this computer for only 450$ (new) to use for the Internet and word processing, but I´m wondering if I could run e.g. Final Cut Pro from external HDD through firewire?

 

First I tried 10.4.6 and it installed but never booted, so I tried 10.4.5 (myzaar) and it worked like a charm.

 

My last question is about dual boot with XP. I installed OS selector that appears when I boot the computer, but then I get another boot menu from Darvin, so I´m wondering if it is save to uninstall the OS selector and just use the Darvin boot menu?

[Icebreaker]

Can I uninstall OS selector? Anyone?

Since there was this thread about OSX and R50e already, I'm going to post my question in here, and not open a new one..

I tried to install OSX on my R50e, but after I've selected the pertition to boot from, I get this series of "loading ..... into .. something somthing" )it goes way too fast for me to see what's rolling over the screen), and then the screen just goes black. The whole machine then halts for about a minute, and then just restarts. What have I done wrong?

Couldt it be the kernel?
