evolt Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 it always hangs after like 5 mins during idle. Sound didn't work, VGA is only 1024x768 and its a 15.4 screen, wireless not working. I installed it 3 times the 2nd install took forever and I noticed it already hanged. So do you guys think there's still hope for my laptop? Here's the specs and I used Wesley patched iso Processor Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 538 (3.20GHz1, 1MB L2 Cache) 533MHz Front Side Bus Speed Chipset ATI Radeon™ IGP 345M Integrated Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g3 LCD 15.4” WXGA (1280x800) with XBRITE™ technology Hard Drive 80GB2 (4200rpm) Memory 1GB PC-2100 266MHz DDR (512MB x 2) (Expandable to 1GB Maximum) Graphics ATI Radeon™ IGP 345M 64MB Video RAM (shared w/ Main Memory) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7914-installing-os-on-my-sony-k37/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technobob Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Try turning off or changing the screensaver try using a non animated one Also go into System Preferences and click Energy Saver and adjust all the settings to never ACPI is not working 100% as it was writen for Mac laptops Also when you close the lid on your laptop it will crash there is a workaround for this using a program called Sleepless 2.1 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=6600&hl= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7914-installing-os-on-my-sony-k37/#findComment-49611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolt Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Cool! Thanks Technobob. I'll try it again when I get a faster hard drive BTW the HP desktop seems to work fine. I guess I'll leave it un patched Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7914-installing-os-on-my-sony-k37/#findComment-49637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
