bjacopo88 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi folks, I managed to successfully install OS X on my Amilo PI 2530 notebook. I know that I will experience permanent issues with my ATI Mobility 2300 HD, I will never get it to work, but as it is not my workstation but just a servicing machine (I have a smaller iBook which I carry with me) it is not a problem. I've installed the iDeneb distribution of mac os X 10.5.6. This are my conditions at the moment: Chipset and processor: WORKING FULLY USB: WORKING Graphic Adapter: Working only 1024*768 Ethernet: NOT WORKING. wifi: NOT WORKING but I know that is a problem with the chipset. The issues: 1) Ethernet: Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter I know this is somehow working because when I tried to install kalyway one year ago I got it to work. But I can't get it working now and I've tried to search but can't get right kexts. 2) wifi: if I buy an usb dongle may I get it work overriding the internal wifi incompatibility? I need to get work ethernet or wifi. So that's it. I know these are common issues for amilo pi 2530 users. But the lack of some threads around the argument is a problem. I will soon switch to a more reliable configuration (and fully compatible!). Thanks for the help.
