ksuhumpy Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Good afternoon - I have been lurking and reading on these forums for a couple of years now and have been doing hackintoshes since the 10.4 days with an old dell laptop. I currently have 2 working lappys, one is a Dell Mini 10v netbook with fully functional 10.6.4. The other is a Compaq C714NR that I have had great success with the iPC 10.5.6 distro. This forum had a great 2 year discussion on this model but after SL came out there really wasn't much of an update. I have tried a couple of distros with the C714NR but really have not had any success. The most recent iATKOS s3 v2. will not complete the install. I get a KP every time. Has anyone gotten snow leopard to work well with this machine? Any hints, tips, tricks? If I were to use the 10.6.2 Hazard disc what kexts or EPI settings have folks had luck with? Thanks.

ksuhumpy Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I was able to get the iAtkos 10.6.3 DVD to install via USB (not sure why that made a difference over the dvd) however power management, keyboard and few other things are not working. Wireless and Ethernet seem to work out of box. I need to probably delete the power management kexts and see if I can get the ones from my old iPC install working. The fan is not cycling at all right now and the power is tripping off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuhumpy Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Update #2: Well I had to reinstall a number of times and getting the trackpad to work ended up being a pain, but I believe I have a fully successful installation of 10.6.3. I used the iATKOS S3 V2 install with the following options selected. Bootloader >AsereBLN V1.1.9 Bootloader Options >32 bit boot >Graphics Enabler >Ethernet Patches >/Extra Directory >fakesmc >Disabler >RTC >>RTC >Evo Reboot Drivers >Main Hardware >>Sound >>>Apple HDA >>>Voodoo HDA >>PS2 >>>Voodoo PS2 >>CPU Power Management >>>Voodoo P-state >>Laptop Hardware >>>Battery >>>ACPI Thermal (32 bit) >>NTFS 3g >VGA >>Intel >>>EFI String >>>Natit (32 bit) >>>GMA X3100 The question I have now is that although my trackpad works it is extremely sensitive. I do not care about fancy features like 2 finger scroll or anything like that but I would like to turn down the scroll speed. Any ideas how to do that? I do not seem to have trackpad.pref installed. Jason Quick update. I realized that VoodooPS2 Prefpane was not installed so I did install the prefpane from this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...hp/t175372.html. However upon opening the pane I get a Synaptics touchpad not found error message and then the pane crashes. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuhumpy Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well with a lot of reading I believe I have all issues resolved. Time Machining the install right now. Fully upgraded to 10.6.4 with everything working. I will be creating a guide for this machine. Although it is older it is a dual core with fully working display, power management, etc...Its pretty sweet. Guide to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
