Reality-X Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey folks, Also now my DVD/CDRW is not being recognized. No clue why either of these things are happening. I've been pursing this forum as well as Google for the last few days trying to get my Leo install to work correctly. I've tried just about every method listed at any place I found, some with some "interesting" results. Here's the hardware: Dell E521 system: CPU: AMD Athalon 64 x2 5600+ mobo: nForce 430 Ram: 1gb Sound: Integrated (Not real sure what type, Windows reports it as HD Audio, linux says MCP51 HD Audio) GPU: PNY Verto Geforce 8500GT 512mb Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 19" plugged into VGA port on GPU card I followed the tutorial found here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=93635 Upon a fresh install of Leo4All machine booted just fine, but then went to a black screen. I used another machine to ping the haxintosh, and it came back just fine. Booted into single user mode (-s) and removed the NVinject.kext (v0.2.1) and machine came back up with the GUI working just fine. Profiler said i had a 32mb VGA card. I played around w/ a few other drivers I found and ended up locking up the system fairly bad, followed by kernel panic's etc. So a fresh install and removal of said kext later I'm back to having a 32mb VGA card and on to the next issue...sound. I tried the sound drivers used in the tutorial to no eval. Kernel didn't panic or anything, just no sound. I have been unable to determine the exact chipset used for the on board audio. Also I haven't found the OSX equivalent to the linux lspci command so I can see what all is there. Thanks for any help that you all can provide, btw please don't tell me to get new hardware since I'm poor and the wife has the money Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94333-dell-e521-w-sound-video-no-dvd-half-of-profiler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCLEaR Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I posted a little tutorial on what to do in my thread, before you posted this one. The method I posted worked for me. @your response in my thread - the green jack.

Reality-X Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 UPDATE: 3/19/08 Well after wiping the system again, and installing Leo4all w/ the ppf update, I booted it up and got a kernel panic. After doing some more reading, I found this was because of the hardware id's in a couple of Info.plist files needing to be edited for my videocard. After that quick little fix, I was up and running again. Once getting logged in I used v1.16 of the AppleHDA patcher w/ a codec file i dumped from linux and sound worked great (no input however). http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32859 Now the weird part, I wanted to see if I had CI/QE working, so I open up profiler and to my suprise they only options I have are Network and Software. No CPU info, no USB info, etc. So I download an OpenGL tester and it works great, spits out my CPU info, my graphics card info, all the resulutions the card is capible of, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94333-dell-e521-w-sound-video-no-dvd-half-of-profiler/#findComment-673438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierKyle Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 So did you get the dvd drive to work? i have the same computer, so I would assume the same DVD burner, plus I added another Samsung Dvd burner. Neither of them work.... Finder lets me eject both of them but it wont read DVD's.

Reality-X Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Well i've got most everything working now, except for my DVD drive still. The weird part is that if i use the DVD to boot the system (rd=disk0s4) I can see the DVD on the desktop and open it up. If I use the MBR bootloader I get no working drive, although it shows up properly in profiler.

Reality-X Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Finaly got the DVD system working. I just needed to use Medevils TEST NforceATA kext and it works like a charm. Only thing not working is the burn ability, but Medevil is working on that for a furture release.
