maccosmo Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i installed it - but i have no idea what it should do the differences i found after i installed your kext: - the system profiler says that i have a loaded kext for my gma 500 with 64 mb vram - that was obvious - the plist in the kext says something with backlight thanks!

lilyl Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi challengers! try this -> GMA500FB.zip I'd like to try it on my U820, how do I use it? If I remove PCIfix, it won't boot into graphics, if I keep them both, I don't see GMA500FB has any effects... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarrieta Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hy ryu thanks for the help. i am not new to installing osx on non macs but I am not an expert could you please post more step by step instructions on how you accomplished this great task ? :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ryuu123 posted a way to install mac os on the p without loosing the windows partition - see post 10. what have you tried so far - is there a step where you need help? if you have access to a "real" mac, try the usb method (see post 11) - it's the easiest - but also the slowest way.

ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 with the usb method is there anyway to actually install leopard permanently ? my questions would be what would he mean by (be careful copied files uid/gid)? I am good with steps 1-7, I get lost on exactly how to follow 8 on Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 hi, meant be careful with the setting of user and group-ids of files. hint to step 8: http://rapidshare.com/files/130684104/OSInstall.mpkg.html maybe this will help you you need to replace the osinstall.mpkg file because the original install won't let you install mac os on a MBR partitioned harddisk.

ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 thanks again that will be a great help : ) I will try that, could you walk me through the last two steps as well ? Sorry for the noobness... p.s. what kexts from osx86 should I copy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 to be honest - i have no idea how he replaced the files before rebooting. but you could use the terminal from the installer to copy the kexts to your installed leopard extensions folder. i did it with the finder using a installed mac os on the usb flash drive - i am lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 thanks : ) I will give it another try, it does seem complicated... is there any other way to install from the usb method you described to the hard drive I dont particularly care to have vista/xp installed only osx..

maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 do you have a "real" you could use? it would make thinks a lot easier. installing os x on a vaio p is easy if you done it once. btw: dont forget to create recovery disks of your vaio p before deleting all partitions.

ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 actually i have a macbook "real" that I can use, how would it make it easier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 excellent 1 or 2 8 gb flash drive(s), too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 yes i have an 8 gig hard drive : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 ok first i would create a bootable usb version of mac os 10.5.6. here's the easy way: its good to have all the kexts you need and the chameleon 1 installer in a folder on your macbook connect your usb drive with your macbook open disk utilites and select your usb drive click options and select guid, click ok and format it as mac os extended (journaled), click apply insert the leopard dvd reboot your macbook and start from dvd set your usb drive as the installation location (NOT your macbook harddisk - or you will loose all your data) install now you have installed mac os on your usb drive. now boot from the usb drive and copy all the kexts you need to your extensions folder and start the chameleon 1 installer replace the boot file on your usb drive with ryuu123's version repair permissions (with the disk utility) shutdown connect your usb drive to your vaio p and boot from it now you can try around and finish the missing steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thanks, does not sound hard this way, can i then just restore the usb osx to my hard drive to make it a permanent install ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccosmo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 that would be possible - but you would ne a bigger or another usb drive. this way its also possible to follow ryuu123's in a convenient way (it's how i did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 hi maccosmo i am still kind of stuck i managed to install osx in the usb drive and boot of it, followed all of your steps, now when i connect the usb to the vaio i get still waiting for root device it gets stuck in: USBF 2.255 AppleUSBEHCI: Unable to initialize UIM Any Ideas ? Trying to think of ways to make steps simpler many of p users exited to follow on your steps and ryu : ) If I ever get this installed do you think using a usb vga out would allow for external display? Also can you post your apple.com.plist i dont know if that is what I am doing wrong.. Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccarrieta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 are you using kexthelper or just dragging the kexts to the kext folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
