Leopard on an Acer Aspire 5536G ?

[AnotherOne]

I've used leopard on my desktop pc over 1 year. Now I've sold my desktop pc and bought a new notebook, the acer aspire 5536g with this components:

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-61 2,1GHz

4GB RAM

ATI HD 4570 Graphics Card with 512MB VRAM

AMD M780G Chipset

SB700

320 GB SATA Harddisc

DVD DRIVE SATA

 

And here is the problem:

 

I used a few versions of hackintosh but the result is everytime the same. I can install leopard but after the installation there is a kernel panic. I tried many kernels but it doesnt matter. The hackintosh's I tried were:

iAtkos v4a

Kalyway 10.5.2

iDeneb 1.3

 

I think the problem is my hardware. Does anybody know if there is a version which works for my notebook

I too have an Acer Aspire 5536g (5536G-744G32MN to be precise). Have you had any success in getting OS X to work yet?, because I'm pretty much in the same situation as you are describing in your post...

 

I purchased Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail from Apple and tried to get it to work with the PsyStar DUBL v2.5.00A1 in verbose mode. First, I get "Please insert the Mac OS X DVD" and then, once the DVD is detected, it took a while and then it just shut down without explanation.

 

I then tried using Empire EFI v1.085 R2 AMD Intelli3i5m BootCD (tried the Legacy BootCD as well) with no success;

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x558993): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1456.1.25/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389"

I then proceeded to try Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 SSE2 SSE3 Intel AMD by Hazard in verbose. It shuts down without output.

 

Then, I tried iATKOS v7. This is the only one that has even started the installation, but after reboot (if I leave the DVD in), I'm stuck with a gray screen with the Apple logo on it. If I remove the DVD, I get a message telling me that boot fails.

 

Finally, I tried iPC OSx86 10.5.6 in verbose, but it too shuts down without any output indicating the reason. Strange, seeing how Harlen123 got it to run "running fairly sweet" on an Acer Aspire 5536 (which is very similar to our computers; the most notable exception is an ATI Radeon HD 3200 instead of the ATI Radeon 4570 graphics card that we have).

 

Also, in the thread ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4570, Is this card compatible?, DarkSun8 has gotten OS X (he doesn't mention which distro) to run on his Acer Aspire 5536, which might actually be an 5536g, because he claims to have the same card;

I have the same card on Acer As 5536.

I`ve installed driver for HD 3650 and can`t still change the resolution:(

So, at least to me, it seems that iATKOS v7 is the closest to something working for us. I will try it with various combinations of the packages included.

first of all i think you're better off installing 10.6.2 or trying to install it at least.. i know for a fact that ATI 's 45xx graphics are not supported on anything below 10.6.2..

Hello guys,

I have a Acer 5536 AMD X2 RM 74 2.2GHz, ATI Radeon HD3200, 4GB Memory and 500GB HDD.

I have tried for months to get OSX 10.5.2 on there using Kalyway, but no hope what-so-ever.

 

Has anyone figured it out yet?

I am starting to think thatit might be a problem with my hardware too...

 

If anyone has any idea or can walk me through the customsation screen during the installation, then please e-mail me at svetlinski2@gmail.com

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

I have been trying for the past 4 months and still have not found no solution. I really do not think that it works but I wish it would.

Have you tried some different chipset drivers? That might do the trick.
