joeray Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'm a Toshiba laptop user struggling to get OSx86 onto my machine. I've tried many distros of Leopard such as iAtkosv4a, Kalyway 10.5.2, and Leo4allv3 with no avail. Stuck with the "IOAPIC: 0x21 Vectors: 23" error. Toshiba has nothing but stripped down bios included with most of their laptops, so their is no option for setting AHCI on the SATA drive. I'm hoping everyone can contribute to this thread and post their model, specs, and what they used to get OSx86 installed onto their laptops, so we can all enjoy Leopard. Anybody with great advice is welcome to help. I'll also gladly donate $10 via paypal to whoever helps me get leopard running on my laptop. My specs are as followed: Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5895 Amd Turion X2 mobile 2.0 ghz ATI X1250 graphics card ATI RS690 Chipset / SB600 southbridge 3gb DDR2 Ram 250gb HDD Pioneer DVD-RW ATA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147962-toshiba-laptops-osx86/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

geiman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've got a Toshiba P105-S6064 laptop, that is almost completely working. Sleep, both cores, audio, graphics, etc.. it's all working. The only few things I have to gripe about are: S-Video out does not work, however VGA-out does, and Intel 3945 wireless does not work, however a driver is currently being worked on by mercurysquad; well, at least after he finishes the 2200. Other than that, I have no complaints. It works great, and I use it as my daily OS. I installed with iAtkos 5i, and after the install I used the DSDT patcher found here on the forums to dump my dsdt from the bios, and then edited it by hand to get sound and both cores to work. I used the gfx strings utility in OSX86 Tools to add the EFI string to my boot loader for the intel gma950 adapter. Other than that, everything is pretty much stock. Specs: Intel coreDuo 1.8Ghz 2 GB ram 160 GB hard drive intel gma950 graphics using Hawking HWUG1A USB adapter for wireless until 3945 driver is complete If you have any questions about what I did or how I did it, just let me know.

joeray Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 @ricki: I don't think my bios has an option to turn off one core. It is a very basic bios with very little options. @Car6on14: Save your money, to install Mac OS X onto your laptop, you need a patched install disk. Retail disks will not work. I'm not allowed to post a link to where you can download load it, but I can give you a hint. Search: Leo4allv3, Kalyway 10.5.2, iAtkos on google and download any of those off a torrent site then burn the iso to a DVD with a program such as IMGBurn.

Eye1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 just finished with install of i Deneb v1.3 10.5.5 on my Toshiba Satellite (A205-S5859) Everything works, except wi-fi. Don't give up if display looks "white with a vertical black line" after reboot. Just restart again, it will go away... This distribution is the best....I have tried all others numerous times on this laptop.
