Frank_t Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi all i have a Dell Latitude D600 and followed these steps from the online wiki http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...es#Latitude_600 But when i get to starting Leopard for the first time i get a gray screen which is expected since i'm expected to delete something via the terminal...now i know how to load the single user mode at startup but i have no idea what commands i need to delete the following in terminal. After install, there will be a kernel panic. To fix: Boot into -s mode Run terminal Delete the AppleBCM575x.kext file from your hard drive at: System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleBCM575x.kext Reboot & Enjoy Can someone explain to a dumbass (that would be me) what i need to type to delete this file? Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_t Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 rm /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleBCM575x.kext or rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleBCM575x.kext Thank you mattiL for your help only issue is the file doesn't exist!

boenils Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi, I have a dell D600 too, install worked perfectly, and I finally got my partition to boot, now if I only could get rid of this kernel panic Tried to remove the BCM575x entry like stated above, don't know whether I was really able to do it but I didn't get any error using the rm -rf /system/..../AppleBCM575x.kext, so I'm assuming it worked... Anyway, I still get the same kernel panic so it didn't do the trick, in verbose mode it shows something like: mDNSresponder mDNSresponder -164 : starting panic errorcode 0x00000000 debugger called (panic) backtrace... (not going to quote the whole process) BSD processname corresponding to current thread: configd MAC OS version: 9B18 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel version 9.1.0: Sat Nov... /Release_I386 This is as close as I ever got installing osx on my laptop, so I hope someone can help me through...

timgerr Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have a Dell D600 and I just got a copy of Kalyway 10.5.1. W hen I start the install I get this error com.apple.boot.plist not found. How did you get around this? Thanks, timgerr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boenils Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Can't say I had that problem, install itself always worked perfectly for me, possibly bad burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafudo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 in fact its not AppleBCM575x.kext in your hardisk but AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext that you should remove.please check..

mschilling Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I think you need an R in that delete command. I had to ask around about that too, maybe someone should update the wiki. I'm having a problem with my D600 and usb. For some reason the system crashes when I plug usb drives, etc., into it. It doesn't happen everytime, but even happens when I plug my powered usb hub into it. Anybody get the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boenils Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ok I'll try this right away! hope it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boenils Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks halfudo, I was able to delete the BCM5751Ethernet.kext entry, and the system now "boots", but I'm afraid I ran into another problem I get passed the apple-bootscreen to the gray screen with the cursor, but not any further than that. Booted into verbose and -s mode and apparently it has something to do with mDNSresponder: localhost DNSresponder: couldn't read user-specified local hostname; using default bMacintosh 00904B79BC6 instead... (followed by a few lines of similar errors, says that it can't connect to network) and KEEPS trying! Always the same DNSresponder-error, over and over again... hope someone can help me trough this again, I have a feeling I'm getting REALLY close to a successful boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschilling Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Try again. It should work as described. I had to reinstall after failed attempts at deleting that file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafudo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 yup... reinstall and delete the right file. maybe wrong file deleted before. Try again. It should work as described. I had to reinstall after failed attempts at deleting that file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfrazier Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I can verify that this fix DOES work. My D600 not only fired up, but found my wireless network and was surfing when I was done. I was shocked I had previously had difficulty with the dreaded "plist not found" problem on boot. Downloaded the Kalyway make HD bootable .iso (Google is your friend) and ran that first. I partitioned whole disk as MBR, then formatted the partition with extended journaled. When customizing the install, I chose the sse2 fix...and efi_mbr. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE!! Once the install was completed, of course I got the kernel panic....but after booting into single-user mode (-s at boot-up and follow the instructions when it gets to a prompt) and deleting the .kext mentioned here, I was feelin' the love. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boenils Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Great! Just great! Works like a CHARM! Thank you all! Never thought it would run this quick.... One more question though how do I type the "at" symbol? (as in "at"hotmail.com). Apparently Alt-gr doesn't work so I was wondering if there's another keybinding...

bigtwenty Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 AH! can someone help me? i installed ONLY selecting the SSE2 and the stupid thing just reboots even after deleting that file. I dont see that efi thing in the checklist. I am using Kalyway 10.5.2. Can someone layout the exact steps for the D600? i followed them from http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...es#Latitude_600 and that just made it constantly reboot.

Arger120 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i finished the install and when i boot up it goes to apple boot screen but it doesnt get past it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan McGinn-Combs Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm running Kayway 10.5.1 right now on my Dell D600. It's pretty straightforward install for me. However, the Ethernet port and the Display drivers are not working (yet). I found that if I DISABLE the Ethernet port in the BIOS, I do not need to remove the BCM575x files. -- Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
