Detosx Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Great news - that allows people to buy the Leopard DVD and show at least some support for Apple, for all that Apple understandably want you to go out and buy Apple hardware. That said, it has always struck me that the people who have the money to do so, will do so, and the people who don't have the money and therefore weren't potential customers anyway (at this stage)... are at worst (if they buy Leopard at least) facilitating massive free publicity at a word-of-mouth level about Apple's fabulous operating system. Anyone know if there are drivers for intel x3100 on the Leopard gold master? If not, any projects to get it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljguiler Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 right when it comes to all this i'm in over my head, as reading certain posts seems to lead to contradiction after contradiction. I own a Dell I9400, and am aware that I cannot simply install retail version of Leopard (if I could i wouldn't mind forking out the 80quid, bargain compared to vista) but im not overly sure why due to the whole intel centrino due issue. what is it that stops the os being installed on normal laptops/pcs that are hardware compatible? And secondly when is is roughly thought a fully runnable osx86 version of leopard will be around as some are saying later today and others months? Thanks and sorry for my ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conroe Mac Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 ljguiler, the short answer is Apple stops you with a special chip called a Trusted Platform Module. Apple relies on hardware sales not OS X sales to make money. Many are running leopard on OSx86 right now but there is no installer yet. It is expected to come out today or in a matter of days.

Dag0n Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 looking on a newsgroup search they have this APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.NFOFIX.ISO-OSX Title: APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.NFOFIX.ISO-OSX ------------------------------------------------- Yes this is hybrid (both ppc and x86). Ok, so installing stuff is hard. How we did this was created an 8GB partition on an external drive mirrored the install dvd to the partition (you can use disk utilities or ccc) then boot from that partition. Alternatively, you should be able to burn the dmg with toast. Alternatively 2, you can convert the dmg to iso using: (mac) hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso (other) [url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dmg2iso"]http://sourceforge.net/projects/dmg2iso[/url] (other) [url="http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/dmgx.html"]http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/dmgx.html[/url] Alternatively 3, give up and buy vista. From the NFO, havent downloaded it yet, tho I do intend to... was only upped an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there are drivers for intel x3100 on the Leopard gold master? If not, any projects to get it working? I see some kexts called x3000 or something. I got this patched with brazilmac's method, the install DVD boots, installs. I did the postpatch as per the same method. i reboot to my hard drive after the install, and get a black screen with a blinking cursor. no kernel panic, no darwin bootloader, nothing. any ideas?
