smwuk Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi Guys I've been attempting to install IPC OSx86 10.5.6 on my Hp Pavilion DV2000 laptop. Everything seemed to be going perfectly and I chose the components that closely matched my system from the customise options. I got as far as saying that the installation succeeded. When I went to reboot I got the darwin loader screen where on initial boot up I used the -v -f keys. A lot of text flew past on the screen and I eventually booted into a plain light blue screen where nothing happens. I have listed the spec of my laptop below :- Hp Pavilion DV2000 2GB RAM 120GB HDD (ST9120822AS ATA Device) ACPI x86 based PC Display : Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset family DVD : HL DT ST DVDRAM GSA 408N ATA IDE : Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage controllers 27DF IEEE 1394 RIOCH OHCI compliant host controller Touch pad : synaptics ps/2 port Modem : HDA AUDIO Soft dataflex modem with smart CP Network Adapter : Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection Processor : Genuine Intel CPU T2060 @ 1.60GHZ (Dual core processor) Sound : Conexant high definition smart audio HD2 System Devices : Intel 82801 PCI bridge 2448 Intel 82802 Firmware hub device Mobile Intel 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and intel 945GT Express processor to DRAM Controller 27A0 As I say, I am totally new to all of this, but I do have an iMac, so familiar with the mac OS.

smwuk Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Eventually managed to get it working! It was just a bit of trial and error and testing different options on the customise screen. I did manage to get the Leopard install music playing, but I didn't have any keyboard or mouse despite this being a laptop But another custom install retry resolved this and I had both keyboard and mouse working. Booted into leopard, everything working well. Even have my new hp Hacktop networked with my iMac I've done some software updates and it's gone well, however I'm frightened to updated to 10.5.8 or it might break everything Well, hope this helps anyone in the same situation!
