Toshbia Satellite P105-S9722 (Conexant SOUND WORKING!)

gamerman315 · September 4, 2009

Ok so I posted a couple days ago asking for help getting OS X installed. I was successfully able to install OS X 10.5.7 using iAtkos v7.

So from what I have noticed, UPDATE: SOUND WORKS CHECK BOTTOM FOR DETAILS, wireless doesnt work, and PCMCIA doesnt work unless the onboard lan is off.

So my question was when I have onboard lan turned off in the BIOS the PCMCIA slot powers on and "works". but when the onboard lan is on in the BIOS it says something like IOPCCardBridge::start failed on startup.

Now in this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81036

it says at the top "You do not have to edit the info.plist to match your machine. If your pccard shows 'IOPCCardBridge::start failed', you can give it a try." So what I was curious about is how to go about editing this file and what would I edit?

The next question would be can anyone point me in the right direction to maybe getting wireless to work?

The wireless card is a Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.

So if you want to know how I successfully installed OS X 10.5.7, read this:

So for people with a laptop like mine. I had the most up to date BIOS firmware 4.70 and what you need to do is update the bios, then after you restart press f2 for setup. go into the advanced tab and disable onboard lan (might cause kernel panic during installation) and disable multi-core processing. Then make sure the extra bit option that's on that page is enabled. boot to the iAtkos v7 disc and press f8 before the timer runs out. type in -v cpus=1 and press enter. Let it boot, format the partition as Mac OS Extended Journaled by going to Utilities-> Disk Utility. Then continue the installation. When it says customize, the patches I used were all the default ones plus the battery one, NVKush, under network/wired I selected both intel drivers, original ApplePs2, the cardbus, and usb patches. Then install. after installation restart and boot into mac. Once you have access to everything open up the terminal and type in:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

then make it look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>-v cpus=1</string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<key>Timeout</key>

</dict>

</plist>

once you have changed that one line hit ctrl-x, y, then press enter. Now you can restart and reenable in the bios multi-core processing and onboard lan. thus now you should have an almost all the way functional computer minus UPDATE: SOUND WORKS CHECK BOTTOM FOR DETAILS, and wireless.

UPDATE: TO GET SOUND WORKING

To get the sound working you need to patch your dsdt.

so to start download the latest patcher here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...pic=133683%2522

run the patcher and most likely you will have compile errors. Now I followed what geiman said in a couple of his posts so here:

First, I used the DSDT patcher here on the forums to get a "fixed" dsdt file. However, this file was not completey fixed, as the dsdt of our laptops must be extremely buggy to the point that the patcher doesn't get everything. I simply followed the error output of the compiler, and commented out the loops and lines of code that gave errors. This compiled fine, and allowed me to update to 10.5.6, however I still had no sound. So, I followed this guide:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473996

But I only actually used a few parts of the guide; under number 5 I did part IV, the part about commenting out the code near the keyword "Linux" and adding a small line of code: "Store (0x07D6, OSYS) //Fake Windows 2006" of course without the quotes.

This then compiled fine without any errors or warnings, and after placing this fixed dsdt in my root directory and rebooting, I then had Sound!

So follow the debugger it will tell you what lines you have errors on, and just comment out the entire while loop, and others will just have a single line that need to be commented out. After you have fixed your dsdt you need to recompile it. In order to recompile, you need to do this:

In order to do that, change directories in your terminal to the Tools folder in the patcher. You can do this by typing "cd <folder to move to>" so for instance if the patcher directory was on my desktop in a folder named patcher, I would type "cd /Users/Matt/Desktop/Patcher".

After you move to the tools folder in the patcher's directory, use this command to compile your dsdt.

./iasl -ta <path to the dsdt_fixed.txt file>

Where the <path to the dsdt_fixed.txt file> is, you need to type the path to the file I posted here. To make this easy, type the first part of the command, and then put a space after the "-ta", and drag the dsdt_fixed.txt file to the terminal. It will automatically copy the path into the terminal.

Then hit enter, and it should compile. If it compiles without any errors you should be good to go. Just place it in your root directory and reboot. If it still has errors, post them here and we'll try again.

Another side note: If the dsdt file somehow prevents you from booting, you can always get rid of the dsdt file by booting with the -s flag, and then removing the file that way.

Hope you understand this, some basic knowledge of the terminal would be helpful.

So by default when you install iAtkos v7 it installs chameleon2 bootloader which already has dsdt support. If you didnt install chameleon2 then you will need to use the search function to figure out how to get the os to boot with the patched dsdt. So essentially use the dsdt patcher once, edit your dsdt_fixed.txt file and comment out the errors, then recompile. Move the now compiled dsdt.aml file to "/" and then you will need to install Azalia audio drivers. Then once you restart you should have working audio! So I will post the azalia drivers ripped from iAtkosv7, and my edited dsdt file.

UPDATE: TO GET SCROLLING TOUCHPAD WORKING!

You should follow this tutorial http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88811

I will post my settings if you would like to use it.

Now on to tackle wireless!
