ADoNuT333 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I recently updated to the new 1.70 Toshiba BIOS for my Satellite A215-7422 and now the JaS DVD (which used to load the installer fine) won't work and I believe this also means that any versions of Leopard also will not work. I have tried Zeph's 10.5.2 and eddie11c's Leo4All with no luck. Now this would be all fine and dandy except Toshiba is very controlling of their BIOS and only allow professionals to downgrade the BIOS with a special tool. Perhaps with their next update there will be more success. But of course if anyone else has a work around for this please share your knowledge! -DoNuT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94987-toshiba-a210a215-users-dont-update-your-bios/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulsion Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 you managed to get tiger loaded on your lappy??? i tried several versions of leopard, the only one i had success with so far is zephyroth v.1! installer will load if you boot with cpus=1 -v, give it a shot, might work for you. it does run slow and doesn't support a whole lot but ethernet does work and graphics card works no qe/ci. i am curious about your JaS install though, any info would be appreciated, i would like to try that if you were successfull Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94987-toshiba-a210a215-users-dont-update-your-bios/#findComment-677220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JaS install DVD booted but it didn't have the sb600 SATA support so only the dvd drive showed up. You can try and add SATA support for the sb600 to the install dvd. I'm not sure how to guide you on this but the way I would do it is by installing JaS in vmware and then unpack the Extensions.mkext file to a folder, add the SATA kexts and then remake the Extensions.mkext file and put it back in the iso. Not sure how well it will work. Give it a shot. btw: What version is your bios?
