Rendell Whitehead Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Brand Spankin new to OSX86. I have an IBM/Lenovo IntelliStation M Pro.. Standard Intel chip set, ATI 32mb Rage 128 Pro, 1 Gb Pc2100, DVD RW, 320GB WD EIDE HD. Using iPC OSX86 10.5.6 iso download from Newsgroups. I'm on my 14 millionth attempt to install.I was successful once but it would freeze upon the IO deal.I'm trying to load the minimum driver and such possible as stated in the iPC install instructions. Beyond that I get install fail. Has anyone done this system, or maybe can help me get my cranium out of my Rectal defilate. I am pumped to get this project running, just way too Mac-Newbian to get it figured out. Any assistance would be awesome.

Rendell Whitehead Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ok.chose just the base, Chameleon boot loader? Install success,but reboot loop... Nothing more.. I guess I'll try the same with a kernel... The last fail gave me "920SpeedStepKernel" error..I do not know what this means but I'll keep pushing forward..

Rendell Whitehead Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 OK. Just the base,and Netska Speedloader Kernel.. I'm at the Apple screen.. with the Spinning thing and a ghost buster symbol..No Idea what is going on under there.. But it's the furthest I've gotten.. Looks like progress.. Never mind "Drive does not contain valid boot record" Ok, this time base, 9.2.0 Netkas SpeedstepKernel, Chameleon SMBios/DSTS, and CPU=1 fix.. See what happens.-----FAIL> Will try the same with a fully erased drive.. I'm running out of Ideas... "Drive does not contain valid boot record" Anyone have an Idea where I'm messing up?

Rendell Whitehead Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for all the replies. It seems that the Intellistation MPro is to Vintage to handle it. I've tried all the settings and no dice.
