Hi, I have the 4520 whith atlhon X2 processor, the way for install OSx86 Leopard (Zephyro version) is:

 

1. Bios Setup change value for HDD disk for OHCI

2. Conect the HDD disk in usb port (whith usb adapter)

3. Insert OSX86 Leopard disk, and install in the usb disk

4. Reinsert the HDD disk in the laptop and its working (except Wifi, Sound, touchpad and Video) needs the installation disk for boot

 

I hope working for you

Hey! i also have the 4520. My install went super smooth, but i cant boot into OSX now. it gets stuck at the black screeen with a "SEGEGV code 0" message. anyways my specs and install methood are here

 

Acer Aspire 4520

AMD Turion 64x2 (2ghz)

Nvidia 7000m

250gb SATA (Western Digital Scorpio)

2gb RAM

Atheros 5007 wifi

 

instal:

I swapped the HDD for a 120gb Seagate (so i wouldnt have to format my vista install)

Went into BIOS to set the HDD mode to ACHI (this fixes the Still Waiting for Root Device message)

Loaded Leo4All v2 10.5.2 (this took a long time to load from DVD, i used the internal drive btw)

Formated the HDD to HFS+ (journaled) with the disk utility

Installed Osx, this took a loooong time lol. an hour i think. or more. the progress bar stalls everynow and then

 

It finished and now i cannot load it.

i get a SEGEGV code 0 message.

 

anyone got any ideas?

so do i, i have acer 4520 too, but i can't install kallyway or jas mac, no hdd...

is there anyone can tell me how to install it?

thanks.. :blink:

try to change the BIOS setting.. where you can find "IDE mode" change it to "AHCI mode"

but usually defaullt windows need you to change it back to "IDE Mode", if not you'll get the BSOD.

I suggest you guys use either Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD or iDeneb v1.6 Lite Edition. You might want to choose iDeneb because it boots faster that Kalyway. Right now I am still on the look for a solution to my audio and graphics..
