virtuo0 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hello everyone, I am trying to install Snow leopard (iATKOS S3 v2) on my Thinkpad T41. Install screen hangs at apple logo. Based on my experience with 10.5.7 installation i am thinking its an issue with ACPI driver. I had to use the legacy driver included in 10.5.7 to successfully boot. Now i want to know 1. Is there way i can force the chameleon boot loader to into command line (no gui) mode when i am booting from DVD? This gives me option to see where the error is. 2. IF i can, how to make the installation use legacy driver? 3. Is there a way i can change the dvd (patch the files or anything else) to make it use legacy driver? Appreciate any help.

Tap F8 I think? Try it and see. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235965-change-boot-dvd-acpi-driver/#findComment-1574712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuo0 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I tried that already. I have Win XP on one partition. When i hit F8 it just shows me the windows partition and DVD and let me choose. Once i select DVD it just goes into install GUI. I noticed that F8 let me go into command mode with Chameleon 1.0 and also read in the release notes that there is a configuration file somewhere on DVD which specifies "no gui" option. I don't know how to i find that file on the dvd and change it and update.

After selecting the DVD, keep tapping F8.
