datdamnamp Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Good day all! I have the DSDt.aml file for this machine and I was able to get idebeb 1.5.1 loaded on it, but no sound and no USB support. I have been trying to load it with SL but have been running into all kinds of problems, mainly finding the correct information to get it to boot. It uses the MCP79 chipset which is close to the ION chipset and is supposedly the chipset of the Mac Mini, but I guess it is a BIOS issue that I am not qualified to understand. If any one would to assist me with this, I would be greatly appreciative, Thanks in advance.

snood Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have a cr600 and would like to do the same. Did you post for some help on pou tous? I have been able to get SL installed and bootable using a bootloader but I can not get audio to work correct, it spikes and cut in/out, battery manager just jumps around. I know you need to use the voodoo power kext otherwise you will overclock the processor and kill your hard drive from the heat [did it ]. Are you able to get at least SL installed? Maybe between the two of us we can get this going. I assume you have the nvidia graphics?

Amp I just got an MSI A6000-029US which is equivalent to the CR600 model; they share the same MCP79 chipset. Did you manage to get everything working in OSX prior versions to SL? What is the procedure into doing so? I'm pretty new into this, so any detail would help! Thank you so much!

snood Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nope. I got the machine last month. I hope to replace the hard drive this weekend and if I get time I am going to try to install SL.

snood Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 SL After having this laptop for some time, I don't believe that it was the heat that killed the hard drive. If you pick up this unit from the front left, you risk the chance of crushing your HD as there is no protection from the weak plastic shell.
