Install ToH on ThinkPad T43 2668-4EA

[b:z]

I have try to install ToH RC2 SS2_SS3 support, after completed installation, first boot show me directly to Welcome screen (To begin, select the country or region you're in, then click Continue. ), i chose "United States"

Then, Select Your Keyboard screen appear, i chose "U.S"

Next, Do You Already Own a Mac?, i chose "Do not transfer my information now", click Continue

 

But, it backs to first Welcome screen It was been loop at the first boot I have redone many times, but no useful.

 

How can i solve this problem? Is ToH compatibility with my ThinkPad 2668-4EA?

 

I attached the detail configuration of my ThinkPad:

Pentium M 1.86Ghz 750, 2Gb Ram Kingston, 100GB 5400rpm HDD Seagate, 14.1 1400x1050 TFT LCD, 64MB ATI Radeon X300, 24x24x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD, Intel 802.11a/b/g wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, Fingerprint Reader, 6c Li-Ion.

 

Please show me.

Thank you very much.

Same problem I had, looks like Leopard tries to find your network card (network setup comes after "Do you already own a mac?"), If the network adapter is not recognized, you'll loop back to that welcome screen. To fix it, you should:

 

1. Install the proper .kext to your network card. (Boot the leopard install and get the .kext file from a USB stick via Terminal)

 

2. Install Tiger first, then upgrade to Leopard. (Not a clean install though)

 

I suggest the first option, installing everything again seems very bad.

thanks for your answer.

Have you been successful to make Leopard work on your system? and are you using ThinkPad T43?

If it is, do you have the kext file of T43 network card? it is Broadcom gigabit ethernet.

 

also, if it is problem of ethernet card, should i disable it in bios? i will try it after reinstall.

 

thank you.

After disable: network card (internal Network Option ROM, internal network device, wireless, bluetooth,), serial, modem, IrDA (infrad), parallel, floppy. I still got the same problem

 

Could you specify me which device you have disabled on your T43?

 

Thank you.
