Tom007 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You will need the following Hardware for installation (only) 1. USB Keyboard and mouse (I used an iMac Keyboard and mouse) 2. Blank hard-disk or a disk you don’t mind reformatting You will need the following files 1) Keyboard – Need PS2 Controller Zip download from Insanelymac.com (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=2576'>http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=2576) 2) ATI Xpress 200M Graphics – Need Katana ATI Drivers (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34068'>http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34068) 3) Power Icon and Battery Settings you need the PowerManagement Bundle (http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%20X/PowerManagement.tar.gz'>http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%20X/PowerManagement.tar.gz) Installation and Setup Process: 1.

Opening terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) ii. Type: sudo passwd root iii. Enter a new password to enable root access from with OS X iv. sudo -s (enter your password) v. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (the disk number may be different on your installation, eg. rdisk1) vi. print (list all partitions) vii. flag 1 (sets partition 1 as bootable - might be a different number on your installation) viii. quit (answer y to save settings) ix.

Make sure that your system meets the requirements." * 4) Copy Parallels.pkg on your desktop * 5) Right click on it and choose "Show package contents" * 6) Right click on "Contents", show informations and under "Ownership and permission" make you owner of it with a read/write access * 7) Apply to enclosed items... * 8) Open "Info.plist" with TextEdit and delete the following: <key>IFRequirementDicts</key> <array> <dict> <key>Level</key> <string>requires</string> <key>SpecArgument</key> <string>machdep.cpu.vendor</string> <key>SpecType</key> <string>sysctl</string> <key>TestObject</key> <string>GenuineIntel</string> <key>TestOperator</key> <string>eq</string> </dict> </array> * 9) Save and exit * 10) Go to Resources folder and delete InstallationCheck and pkmkshellutility * 11) Exit and launch your modified Parallels.pkg * 12) Install it!

Mactel4SSE2 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have a DV5215us and it'll be the last laptop I EVER buy from HP. Every single instance and every single install DVD I've downloaded has lead to some sort of catastrophic failure. I'm giving it ONE LAST SHOT with the Zephyroth disc when it gets done downloading so that I can atleast post some errors but I will be going on your instructions HOPING this :censored2: :censored2: :censored2: piece of :censored2: laptop will actually work with Leopard. My old 1.6Ghz P4 ANCIENT desktop will run any version I throw at it without a hitch, just slowly. This thing is the opposite. If it works, you're my hero. However its going to have to wait for the Apple TV, that comes first! Leopard on my 42" Panasonic Plazzzmaaahhh....mmmmmmmmmmmm.....pretty....

Walker2323 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm having problems with the mouse and keyboard as well. I have a DV5000 (DV5220 specifically) and I can't get the built in mouse and keyboard to function. I also can't seem to get the Katana graphics driver working properly, as I can't change any of the graphics properties. I am using Zephyroth 10.5.1 Would anyone be able to lend a hand? Thanks!

N0X Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 any luck with this one? I was able to install iAtkos v4 on my ACER Aspire One and been trying to do the same on my HP DV5000 with no luck. using the built-in dvd drive, i always get a "still waiting for root device" message. i tried to use an external dvd drive, but when i get to the installation process disk utility won't show my harddrive. only the dvd drive is showing.

I too have the exact same problem as NOX. Using an external drive overcomes the "still waiting..." but likewise does not show the Harddrives. I plugged in an external usb harddrive and that showed up. Anyone with some insight on this problem?

Heiko Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I too have the exact same problem as NOX. Using an external drive overcomes the "still waiting..." but likewise does not show the Harddrives. I plugged in an external usb harddrive and that showed up. Anyone with some insight on this problem? Install an AMD version to an external USB disk (I used iDeneb v1.3), after installation copy the .kexts from http://code.google.com/p/darwin-ata/downloads/list (JMicronATA.kext, AppleNForceATA.kext, AppleVIAATA.kext) into /System/Library/Extensions of the USB disk (I guess actually used is only AppleVIAATA.kext), and change the permissions of the .kexts to root:wheel. Remove the harddisk from the USB enclosure, and put it into the dv5000, boot, and it should work. Fot getting the higher screen resolution, use Callisto b003 fixed (not the later versions of Callisto); this will give you the 1200x800 resolution, but no hardware acceleration. Looking movies is possible, but tedious. Remove /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext, on my system it interfered with the Callisto installation. Sound is not yet working, I'm currently playing with some AC97 kexts, still work in progress. WLAN worked out of the box. Wired Ethernet not yet checked. USB works, I'm using an USB mouse attached to the dv5000. For a Chameleon-based installation, I guess it is better to copy the .kexts mentioned above into /Extra/Extensions folder, so that they will not be overwritten by future updates.
