pavel1313 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi, I have an HP DV6324us or close to that In short - AMD, Go6100, problematic SATA, no keyboard I spent a week figuring out how to overcome all the issues. The story so far(t): There is no way to disable SATA from BIOS (one option is opening the laptop andusing SATA to IDE cable if possible or updating drivers in OSX after install). Which means that you have to install OSX on a second HDD or use external USB HDD (that's what I did). The external drive is partitioned and formated with no troubles. As for the "no GUI" thing ... you gotta wait ... boot it with -x or and wait ... 20 minutes maybe ... if the processor does not overheat Once installed on external drive, you probably will face the keyboard problem ... that's where I am now One way to fix that is to use External USB keyboard. If that works, you'll be able to download and install the PS/2 keyboard fix. I'll be trying this tonight or this weekend. === Once the keyboard works, apply/change all the patches available for video, CPU .. whatever ... idk if there is one for fixing the SATA thing. If there is one you might be able to "dd" the patched for HP image to the local partition/hdd and eventually boot natively/internally lol === check this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...gnized&st=0 it's all about HP crappy laptops quite helpful though I'll be sharing my experience there right now Hopefully someone had tried what i plan to do Post any suck-sessful story Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75344-leopard-hp-pavilion-amd/#findComment-537378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
