Allcoast Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Did you have to do anything special, outside of the regular install to get the Inspiron 2200 to work? What about the wireless and LAN? Any problems? Anything I should know before I attempt this? Thanks.

XCNuse Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm trying to install it on my sisters' old 2200 however iAtkos gets to the apple screen and the DVD drive makes some clicking sound and sits there forever, and with Kalyway I get to the "Kernel Version:" text is the last line, and .... then it stops everything. Using Kalyway 10.5.2 also.

XCNuse Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Okay so I came to the conclusion that it could possibly be the DVD drive, so I took the DVD drive out of my e1705 and put it in the 2200, and now it gets to the "Darwin Kernel" and then it hangs and the DVD drive spins for about a minute then.. stops. i've tried starting it with -s, -v, and even -x... nothing so far. I tried iAtkos and it got me the furthest, it got to the blue screen before the installation page.. and it hangs there. This is annoying, I was hoping on installing Leopard on the 2200 as easily as I did on my old harddrive for my e1705.

XCNuse Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Okay I finally got it working, it is installing now using iAtkos, I did the F8 boot and i typed in "-s -v" and... it's installing hurray!

So is iAtkos a different version of the software? Also, is it using the 2200 drive? Also, where do I find that version, or what is it called so i can find it on my own Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92865-kalyway-leopard-1052-running-great-on-dell-inspiron-2200/#findComment-863340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCNuse Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 iAtkos is just a different DVD img you can find, Kalyway is the other. So I installed it and all, get apple grey screen and and it reboots so. Now for some reason i can't get iAtkos DVD to boot up again it sticks at the blue screen again. Once I get back to the DVD boot I'm going to have to try different drivers.. until them I have OSX fully installed but completely inoperable on the 2200 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92865-kalyway-leopard-1052-running-great-on-dell-inspiron-2200/#findComment-863368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCNuse Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 okay quick update, i installed gparted on a cheap USB flash drive i just got (it's only 90mb), anyways i destroyed (formated) the hard drive and booted up iatkos again (and it's working HURRAY!) in the same -s -v mode, anyways i'm going to mess around with kernels until I get working now that I know how to do this. I was trying all sorts of things but apparently the previous "successful" installation screwed something up and the DVD wouldn't boot so yea, I'm going to keep messing with different stuff selected. This 2200 is also the Pentium M I'll keep you informed to see what works right Allcoast, and hopefully some other 2200 users out there! (I got this for free from my sister so .. i want leopard on it lol i don't want to have to keep switching hard drives in my e1705 which boots leopard with my other hard drive easily) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92865-kalyway-leopard-1052-running-great-on-dell-inspiron-2200/#findComment-864439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allcoast Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 can you give me the exact name of the leopard image that you used, or PM me a link to the torrent? Also, what is gparted? (I have a flash drive I can use if you can just walk me through it) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92865-kalyway-leopard-1052-running-great-on-dell-inspiron-2200/#findComment-864451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCNuse Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 it's the latest iAtkos DVD that you can get. (iAtkos 4i is the version i'm using) I'm having to use gParted which is a format tool because the installation keeps messing with the hard drive, once i figure out what thinks i have to check in the leopard installation I will tell you and you hopefully won't have to use gparted, it's just a good format tool a friend of mine had to use, and i remembered it so i'm using it by booting off a USB flash drive.

XCNuse Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 this is obnoxious, so far no success with iAtkos, and Kalyway doesn't even want to start with the 2200, I keep getting the Darwin Kernel hang. Tried iAtkos with non EFI MBR and no success also this is starting to {censored} me off.

deftone32 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have a Gateway M-6750 PC Notebook. I am totally new to the world of MAC but I want to use it to do some recording for my band. I have XP Pro and installed Acronis Disk Director and OS Selector to dual boot XP Pro with MAC OS X Leopard ie. leo4all v.3 . The installation went through and I rebooted to a screen with a keyboard that tells me to please connect a keyboard to continue. Now I honestly don't know if I used the correct options like type of kernel, patches, etc. If anyone can tell me what I did wrong I would really appreciate it. I have the GM965 Intel Chipset, Intel Core 2 Duo @1.66Ghz, 3GB RAM.

Last night, I tried iatkos and all it would do is go to the blue screen and everything would stop.

XCNuse Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Each time I try iAtkos I HAVE to reformat using gparted, otherwise it won't work. Kalyway I'm still getting the Darwin Kernel panic so so far I haven't gotten anywhere. And I don't think that iAtkos supports SSE2 like Kalyway can, but I've tried everything around to get iAtkos to work and so far still no success, I want to know what keeps causing this kernel panic, I've disabled NIC and all of the internal networking etc and still nothing is working it's annoying the {censored} out of me.
