Tha! Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi, I installed OSX iAkatos on my sony vaio PCG-4L2M installed it, got a message the first time i booted that a reboot was needed. second boot i got the cameleon bootloader, pressed enter, got the apple and the swirly loading screen... did the -v boot and it seems to be stuck at a command line that has something with mDNS in the line. Any suggestion? thanks in advance i booted the ikatos disc and installed the network drivers, and now i can finally boot in to osx, the fancy spacy movie starts but then i get the message there is no keyboard connected... any help in this?

It probably has something to do with your graphics card. Try booting with the flags "-v -x". That should load the safe mode video drivers. Then goto OSx86 tools and click on "add efi string/boot flag". At the top theres a tab called "GFX string", click it. Select your card from the list. If it isn't there select a custom card, and enter your info. Now install Charmeleon 2.0 RC 1 (attached) and goto (System Root)/Extra and open up com.apple.boot.plist. There should be something like <key>Device-Properties</key>. In the <string></string> paste that big hex code you got form OSx86 tools. Cross your fingers and restart. If that doesn't work try downloading an enabler. ie: NVDawin, NVInject, NVKush, Ect. If all else fails, just reinstall it. Trial and Error, thats how I got mine working! P.S. Don't install the snow leopard support bootloader.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192900-sony-vaio/#findComment-1303457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't install the snow leopard support thanks for the clear suggestion, i managed to fix the keyboard block, by installing the drivers on the disc with trackpad support. so im in my own sony vaio mini laptop, so far so good. There is no internet connection available, cable plugged in, no lights blinking Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192900-sony-vaio/#findComment-1303476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
