Installation of leo4all 10.5.2 on xps m1210

[ubatsnalle]

Greetings,

 

As you may gather I am a bit of newcomer to this community, but a rather interested and intrigued one! I am so far very impressed by the amount of material available. I have now however reached the point where I think my limited knowledge requires me to ask a couple of questions:

 

I have managed to install "leo4all" 10.5.2 on my dell xps m1210 laptop (core2duo 2ghz, 2gb ram, gf7400go graphics, sata harddrive) with some success. I have managed to get the sound and integrated Ethernet to work but I understand there is as of yet no drivers for the a/b/g wifi card.

 

I do however unfortunately seem to have a bit of a problem during the startup phase where the system tends to get stuck in an “infinite loop” of reboots. Before this happens I get an error message in yellow relating to "ACPIPS2Nub". Unfortunately it passes too quickly for me to be able to jot it down. I am however able to get passed this on a discretionary basis by booting with “–s” and using the following:

 

sudo -s ##enter passwordchown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

(from here: http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/known-issues) I discovered by mistake that just entering –s mode and then exiting to boot sometimes works too.

Does this mean that there is a driver issue?

Unfortunately the situation resets itself at least if I boot the machine with the parallel xp partition.

Is there a more permanent way of getting passed this problem?

I also get a lot of messages during boot saying:

 

Warning: AppleUSBAudio has detected that clock_get_uptime () value changed radically from previous values

 

I suspect this might be related to the computers built in webcamera, but I am not sure. Has anyone encountered this before?

 

Very happy for any guidance on the issues above, in particular with respect to the endless boot cycle.

I have this problem with vanilla kernel, and ToH kernel fix the problem. I suspect this is due to lack of HPET in my mobo.
