matulike Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm having troubles with Leopard on this Dell D620. Have tried formatting the whole disk, and using Acronis. 10.4.x is fine, 10.5 goes thru the installation fine but then doesnt boot. If anyone has it working on a D620 could you let me know - and what Distro you've used please? And if you're dual booting. I really want Leopards installed and am happy to dedicate the drive. Just not 100% sure about EFI stuff and, well, it just doesnt seem to like this laptop. Saying that, I could only get it to work on my PC briefly - but that's got an old P4 Northwood processor... The D620 has an Intel core Duo. On board Intel Graphics. (GMA945 I think.) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tryk3r Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I am using Kalaway 10.5.1 and have it up and running. Have not had any luck with sound, ethernet, or the internal wireless. Could use some help with that but other then those it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tryk3r Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Since then i have successfully upgraded with the Kalyway combo update to 10.5.2 and have also been able to get my sound to work thanks to Taruga's applehdapatcher. I will attach my modified codec dump to the bottom of this. I have the Stac9200 it works except for mute button and the speakers do not mute when you plug in headphones. Still no luck on the ethernet (Netextreme BCM5752) or the wireless (Intel Pro/wireless 3945 ABG). I have tried using a PCMCIA wireless card as well and have found out that the PCMCIA slot does not work as well. If anyone has any solutions for this assistance would be greatly appreciated. modded_codec_dump.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
