thepunkerguy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have heard of people getting Leopard to run and fully function on the Aspire 5672wlmi laptops and was wondering if anyone here had done it, and if so how you did it? I got Tiger installed months back but could never get the video fully working on it. I am wanting to try again with Leopard on my 5672 but want to see if someone can advise me how to get it done right this time. Let me know.. Thanks!! - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zirbs Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm interested in this too -- I have the same laptop, and haven't had any success getting it to boot so far, though I don't know which version/kernel I ought to be trying first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Wit_It Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have an earlier version of Acer and it works perfect. Try Leo4Allv3 or Kalyway 10.5.2. My specs are in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zirbs Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've still been working at this for the last few days, and I think my difficulty may be in that I'm trying to dual-boot, as I don't want to smoke my XP partition quite yet. I've tried Kalyway 10.5.2 and Leo4Allv3 10.5.2, and was using the "chain0" option to try to boot into OSX. The install goes just great, though when I select Mac OS X86 on boot, I just get a text string of 10 random characters, and the system hangs. My laptop is an Acer 5670, with an Intel Core Duo T2300, ATIX1400, 2 GB RAM, etc. The BIOS is updated to the most current version. I've tried the "idlehalt=0" and "cpus=1" flags on boot, at least in editing the file. The chain0 booting doesn't give me a chance to enter any boot variables, so I'm thinking my problem may be in EFI or the bootloader or something. Any thoughts or experience in what may be causing my difficulties? Let me know if you need more info from me to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
