So close on HPdv2416 w/Leo4Allv4.1, HELP!

[mikewill57]

Ok, thanks in advance for any help.

 

My latpop is:

 

HP dv2416

 

AMD Turion x2

 

GeForceGO 6150 video card

 

Broadcom4312 wi-fi

 

NForceLan

 

CoxenantHD Audio

 

I've installed Leo4All4.1 and it seems ok. Put in the kexts to get display to 1280X800. Have a few issues though:

 

1. Can't boot without a flag. Sometimes I have to use -f, sometimes -s, sometimes -f -x -v cpus=1. I can NEVER boot without the disk in the drive. Why and how do I fix it? I want it to boot up like a normal OS should.

 

2. Wi-Fi and Ethernet do not show up. I installed NvidiaForceEthernet.kext and still nothing. This will be pointless without internet access. I found this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51725 and will be trying that out in a few. Any tips in the meantime?

 

3. Sometimes my laptop just shuts down. I've been super hard on her and she's gonna die soon, just want to be sure that it's not maybe something wrong with OsX.

 

Here's what I chose in customize for Leo:

 

Chipset

---- NForce Test

---- VIA SIS Marvell & SB Chipset Driver (not sure if necessary)

- Audio

---- AzaliaAudio & AC97 or somet..

- Graphics (NO DRIVERS SELECTED) - None of the options work for the GeForce Go 6150

- Network

---- Broadcom & ForceDeth

- Remove Firewire

- "About this Mac"

- StageXNU kernel

- SMBIOS - Netkas

- ACPIPlatform 1.1.0

- EFI Bootloader

Still waiting for any ideas or tips, but here's an update.

 

Got my ethernet working from home yesterday so was able go to on. Still no wi-fi though. Can't really figure out why. Was finally able to boot without the disk in the drive using the fdisk trick from -s on the install. Still, I had to use -f -x to get in. System Preferences quits, a lot. Especially when I go to keyboard/mouse adjustment, why? Ok...thanks.
