Acer Aspire 5535,

3GB ram

AMD Athlon x2 64

ATI Graphics

dual booting Windows 7and 1/2 working OS X

i used the chameleon patched Kalyway 10.5.2 intel Amd DVD for install, when through perfectly.

Installed the OS onto a partitioned drive, (formatted the partition correctly and installed fine, no errors.)

 

After install completed it asked for restart, i ejected the disk and no luck, (had already sorted out the dual boot with my windows 7 using the chain0 file and easy BCD.

 

When laptop boots the boot screen comes up and the list of os', when i select OSX it does to the countdown, during which i have to press f8 or it does back to the os selection screen. after i have pressed f8 i am offered a list of HDDs. i select where i installed OS X (onto my OSX partition, hd(0.3) OSX ) The message then comes up below "Press Enter to start up darwin/x86 with no options, or u can: type -v and press enter....... advanced startup options

boot : _

ive tried many combinations here with -v, -x, -s, cpus=1 with no luck.

 

Darwin/x6 boot v5.0.132

Using ACPI RSDP revision 2 found at 0x000f81e0

 

after this the _ cursor justs sits there flashing...

 

I have been looking around and ive finally found out what i think my problem is.

 

i tried using the the same iso file i used to install but without the Kalyway-10.5.2-Chameleon-1.0.11-JMicron-fix and i got the same error. as i have now its installed.

 

so.. i figured if i could installl this patch to the HDD then it would load fine. if anyone could help me i would be very greatful. thank you. :(

 

 

For anyone with the same ish problem, ive kept going :P and have passed this error, i booted to the disk and then got it to boot from the HDD using... yeah.. :S

 

anyway...

 

Ive finally got it so it starts up mac (no welcome video) and setup gets stuck in the loop around the file transfer ... seems to be endless problems with this... i cannot use the normal fixes as i no longer get the option to enter -s etc...

Any help would be useful, so close .... yet so far :P

 

Fixed that too :) now have working OS X on my acer 5535 :)

still to fix;

- wifi

- lan

- audio still bit dogie

- graphics - has detected my graphics but has no kext yet

 

BUT STILL.. Whoop :)
