bgg71 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I installed Mac Os X 10.4.8 (JAS) on a Dell Latitude D600 (1.4GHz Pentium M (in "about this mac shows as "0), ATI Radeon mobile 9000, 32 mb GDR (Boy do we need some drivers for these ATI cards! 1400x1050 res works with omni and jas drivers and can change resolution, not much acceleration, so no DVD playback), 100Gb hard drive, 1Gb RAM, Dell TrueMobile 1300 wireless 54g (works as Airport, cool), Broadcom 57xx Ethernet (works too with a patch). OS X was in fact installed on a 60Gb external USB2 hard drive with two partitions both for OS X and I have windoz and linux on teh internal 100Gb hard drive. I can play videos fine with divx player, but itunes and quicktime are either way too slow or i have no sound. Sigmatel AC97 sound works though (with another patch, even the volume button on the laptop works and it shows on screen when i adjust the volume, very cool). Battery monitor works so-so. I patched it and it shows. However it doesn't provide accurate info. In fact, it shows the info from login. It never refreshes. I have a USB Bluetooth dongle - that works too. Sleep works in the sense that it turns off the laptop, but it won't come back. The LCD back light doesn't turn off. If I could get the quicktime/itunes problem solved and the sleep/resume I would use it as my primary OS. IR port doesn't work. Video out doesn't work since I don't have ATi drivers. Anyone had any luck with sleep/resume? Will test PCMCIA in a min with a wireless card and edit this. CD/DVD burning works (i have an internal CDRW/dvd and an external DVDRW). I tested them and backed up some stuff. No hitch! I started liking OS X so much, I woudl relaly like to iron out all the problems and put it on my internal hard drive. PCMCIA doesn't work either.

toddicus Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 so you're booting from a USB drive? A long time ago I tried to boot into 10.4.1 and 10.4.3 over USB with a D600 and I read that it wasn't possible, OS X simply wouldn't boot over USB on that mobo. Any trouble with it? or did it just work? thanks, and good luck you might look for powermanagement.bundle in the forums, can't remember who patched it up or wrote it, but a friend of mine had it workin on his D600, supposed to fix lots of stuff. Resolution changes and no mouse tearing are about as far as you can get I think with the mobility 9000, I haven't found any ways to get any further.

bgg71 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 reinstalled the powermanagement bundle. now the battery info updates. Unfortunatelly no luck with lcd backlight and other power savings. the graphic drivers i am using don't seem to support powersavings (omni/callisto, jas/ati). Probably I should just get a mac and stop wasting my time.

bgg71 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 about booting of an usb drive with latitude d600: there is absolutely no problem. I can boot linux and bsd and other things as well. Just make sure USB emulation is enabled in your BIOS (i have last bios version A016). i tried swapping my internal with the external drive. OSX boots from either drive. Windoz only boots from the internal drive where it was installed. if I put it on the USB (just by swapping drives) it gets to a blue screen. Probably it would work if i reinstalled it on the USB drive. Unfortunatelly reinstaling windoz and all the software in it it's not a pleasure. So, I'd rather keep OSX on the USB.

SpecialK_olin Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'm trying to do this same thing using the JaS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 with PPF1 and PPF2 (it's what the image says) But when I boot to the DVD, the GUI starts to load, but then nothing happens, and I get a window saying "Because of a problem, installing Mac OS X could not be completed", but when I put the same disk into another computer I can run it fine...am I doing something wrong?

tripbeat Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 did installation work out of the box? 10.4.7 did not on my d600... I'm new here - is there an installation guide somewhere?
