Yeah, can people post their full setups which have successfully installed Kalyway on the p35 Neo2.

I keep seeing conflicting info.

 

Do you need a SATA or IDE DVDRW?

Do you need a SATA or IDE hard drive?

Also could you post what BIOS settings you are using.

 

What is Theos fix exactly?

I've seen the Theo fix thread but it seems to me he says do A or C (long instructions, patching/replacing things etc) OR do B which is use a Kalyway DVD.

Isn't using the Kalyway DVD an alternative to his fix?

 

If someone could post those details I'd be extremely grateful!

Hi,

 

all works ok apart from NO IDE and the 5th sata port does not work, the marvell one (cant test digital out on sound)

Only runs on 1 core (shame it would not work on all cores)

 

i have the following

MSI Neo2-fr - drives set to a ahci, power ser to acpi

q6600 processor

2 sata hdd drives

1 sata dvd writer

2 GB geil ram

1 ati saphire x1950 256 pro

 

instlled Kalaway using SATA dvd drive (IDE does not work) (Have to use SATA drive)

(have to boot with -v -cpus=1). (non vanilla kernal) once installed

Booted in windows and used theo Option 1 method, replacing the files on my installed system (using windows and macdrive)

installed the x1950 kexts

have to boot with -v -f -cpus=1

 

hope this helps

Got it working on a laptop drive via a usb case.

Now I know I can get it installed on my system I'll buy a SATA drive.

Cheers steveo!

yeah, sorry I didnt have time before

 

all my drives were IDE, and I only had one usb adaptor, so I had to use my laptops dvd drive, and use that to install it onto the desktop hard drive connected to the laptop via USB XD

 

quite complicated

 

shame we can only get it running with 1 core

Cant get my ethernet working.

It seems to recognise it and I can set an IP address for it but it just doesn't work.

Can't ping and there's no activity/connection lights.

Do we need a certain driver or should it work out of the box?

 

Also the sound driver posted several posts up, do we just copy the kext to the Extenstions folder?
