LeeAMDMAC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've got quite similar hardware like yours and with a couple of tricks you can get Rev.1 to work on your laptop. Read my experiences with Rev.1 here. Touchpad: Did you try this one? Sound: What about those ones? Hello, my problem with my laptop is that i can not get it to boot a copy of osx at all. It just flickers an error message and goes back to the begining of the boot loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerTea Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 That's not going to Fix the Lan Freeze problems on Rev.1, you will see. Once you reboot a couple of times it will happen again and again, if you are using forcedeth - Read the Guides to see the solution, and also wait for RC2. http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc2 http://osx.kbot.de By the Way: 100 Thread Pages reached, with 1,980 replies and 186,508 views.

Poe_ Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 hehe, thanks, I did it I have to find something about changing resolution, because I have only 1024*768, I saw something about it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerTea Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Poe, which graphic card do you have and did you try to set your desired resolution in Boot.plist? Terminal: sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Add/Edit this Line: <key>Graphics Mode</key><string>1280×1024×32</string> // insert resolution CTRL + O -> Save (WriteOut) CTRL + X -> Quit Reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerTea Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 DoiX, the above solution at least fixed my Resolution before I had proper Drivers and QE/CI enabled for GeForce 7600 GT. As soon as I had proper Drivers I could choose the resolution easily, anyway I still have the flags in my Boot.plist, because I like the bootloader to have high resolution graphics with the nice resolution that I like.

cgsheen Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I posted these ramblings on the Zephyroth 10.5.1 site, but maybe someone here will also be interested: Installing Zephyroth 10.5.1 to an External USB HD, the nvidia 8600GT PCIe, and HDTV: Sorry, I'll warn you upfront this post will likely be longish... Some unusual things I've learned fooling around with Zephyroth 10.5.1: A. Installing on an EXTERNAL hard drive: I've tried several installs on spare hardware I have lying around. I've avoided trying to install OSx86 on any of my main computers (mostly running Vista, and mainly HTPC's running Vista Media Center (Home Theater Computers - we have three)) I also wanted to try installing it on my AMD laptop (which ISN'T very OSx86 friendly), but NOT on the internal drive. Anyway, I did an install to a USB 2.5" hard drive - from a computer that was already running Zephyroth. Once the install was done, I DIDN'T boot from it on that computer (not that it would matter, I found out later). I attached it to my laptop and booted the laptop from the USB drive. Much to my surprise, it actually worked! (I still had problems that would keep the laptop from being fully usable, but it got me into the desktop and many functions worked) OK, that didn't work so well & I've got OSX sitting on the USB drive - I decided to plug it into ANOTHER computer, boot up, and see what happened. Ya, it worked. I started in safe mode and it actually ran on completely different hardware. I did this with a couple of computers to verify. Best part is: YOU NEVER have to go through "account creation" again! MORAL: 1. External drives are cooler than I thought. 2. Having problems with a particular install? Install to an external drive on ANY computer and use the external drive to boot your "problem child"... 3. It's a lot like Linux! You can carry your OS around with you (almost...)! B. OSx86, The 8600GT, and HDTV One of the computers I hadn't heretofore touched was our main HTPC - a newish AMD AM2 setup with a 690G motherboard, an LG Combo HD-DVD / Blu-ray drive, the nvidia 8600GT video card, and DVI to a 55" Mitsubishi 1080i widescreen rear-projection HDTV. Yup, I hooked up my little USB drive and rebooted! And it worked... After I was in the Desktop, I loaded the 10.5.2 nvidia kexts with 8600 support and rebooted. Danged if it didn't come back up with the Desktop at 1920x1080! I hurried and checked: FULL QE/CI support! AND: In the Display Settings, not only were multiple resolutions enabled, TV SUPPORT was also active - AND overscan compensation! The Mits is a CRT rear-projector and it overscans - badly... Initially ALL edges of the Desktop were cut off. I unchecked "overscan" and the display came back to normal! Dude! I still haven't fixed the chipset kexts or checked the sound codec, but it's running FAST, video support is awesome, the Realtek RTL8110 Gigabit LAN is purring right along, and my wireless multimedia keyboard is working great! Anyone interested - here's the hardware specs: Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H 690G AM2 Motherboard (onboard Radeon x1250 video is disabled) Realtek RTL8110 - Max LAN Speed 10/100/1000Mbps - working (supported natively) Realtek ALC889A HD Audio (haven't checked yet) Athlon64 x2 4200+ AM2 2GB Dual Ch RAM Gigabyte fanless 8600GT PCIe (WORKS with all features supported!) Maxtor 320GB SATA HD LG GGC-H20L Combo Blu-ray & HD-DVD drive FusionHDTV5 Gold & FusionHDTV3 Gold QAM PCI ATSC tuners PowerColor 550 Pro PCIe NTSC Tuner Mitsubishi WS-55813 55" RP HDTV - DVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I got it working on another PC: Shuttle XPC Barebone SN21G5 AMD 3800+ (Single-Core) 1GB RAM GeForce 8600GT 256MB nForce4 AC97 Audio IDE Drive S-ATA Blu-Ray-Drive W-LAN PCI Card with RT2500 chip I couldn't install it on a S-ATA-Drive, I guess my S-ATA-Controller just isn't fully supported, although I installed it from the Blu-Ray-Drive. Will this be fixed in rev2? I got the 8600GT working with this driver: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78980 Ethernet seems not to work, but I didn't try to fix it so far, since W-LAN is working fine with the software from ralinktech.com. Blu-Ray-Drive is working perfectly, I can even see the content of my Blu-Ray-Movie-Discs. This isn't possible on windows^^ Everything else is working totally fine, the only thing I still need now is something I can actually play my Blu-Ray-Movies with on Mac OS X thx again for this great release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
