acerfun Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 The Sata controllers is ok, i didnt read about the DVD drives.. "This one is in some respects related to the section above so instead of rehashing all of that I'll simply list what we know works for now. - Intel chipset based ATA controllers (pretty much all of them are covered by the AppleIntelPIIXATA driver that comes with Darwin 8.0.1 so there really should not be any issues at all) - Intel chipset based SATA controllers (again if your board has an Intel chipset you're practically guaranteed of support here, especially with the aforementioned 915 chipset) - VIA chipset based ATA controllers (should be ok) - VIA chipset based SATA controllers (pretty iffy if any support works at all) - Nvidia Nforce chipset based ATA controllers (conditions apply, see notes above about Nforce chipsets) - SiS chipset based ATA controllers (a few noted successes, your mileage may vary) - ATI chipset based ATA controllers (a few noted successes, your mileage may vary)" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2616-problems-installing-on-a-acer-aspire-5024-laptop/#findComment-17215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyilmaz Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes it would be great if someone could help us with this problem, it really sucks! If the only problem is the SATA DVD drive then it should be possible to install OSX.

acerfun Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I read about the Hdd install here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...ate&redirect=no but it needs a different file "tiger-x86-flat.img" not the release1+phenix what i have now.
