Thanks for the info. You are right. I thought 10.6.2 would support the atheros chip set, but obviously not for "our" ar9285. I tried the device id injector by netkas. The interface is detected now, but it does not connet to any wifi network. This is so close, I have still hope to get it running. I tried EthernetBuiltIn=Yes, but still nothing.

I am using Chameleon 2.0-RC4 from a stick. It comes with a README that contains instructions to build a stick. I pm'ed you cause links to it are not allowed here.

there are no dumb questions :wacko:

 

chameleon works without any problems on my vaio p & eee1005ha

why do you want a modded boot cd ? (cd..cd....cd - what was that again??? ;) )

i used only usb pendrives during the installation process - this way you can always change some stuff without toasting a new cd

i´m asking that because i had no luck to boot the SL retail dvd. but yesterday i´ve found bootcd (witch chameleion RC3 and all netbooks kexts loaded into) and i was able to boot but i had kernel panic as well...

i´m gonna take a picture of the error and post it here because i´m almost giving up...

 

ps: i don´t have other mac os installed on my AO751h, so where can i find chameleon RC4 in ISO mode?

please PM

Hey, guys, I know this is a long shot but I can't find any more relevant threads, so I may as well ask...

I'm installing 10.6 on a friend's Sony Vaio NW20EF. Obviously this is pretty different from yours, but I wonder if you could help...

Everything is working great apart from the battery isn't recognised in SL (but is in Leopard) — even with VoodooPower.kext — and more importantly, I can't get native resolution working...

I tried this one posted earlier but it's just booted up with no difference.

I've tried dozens of fixes, and all I get is either no change or the screen goes blue or white and then black when it attempts to go to a GUI.

ok, you've found a boot cd - and ???

most boot cd's usb images are model specific - so using a vaio image can (or better will) end in a kernel panic on your ao751h.

i don't see any reason why you need the rc4 (but maybe i've missed something)

what usb image did you use ?

or did you collect the needed kexts for your hardware and put it on the usb pendrive ?

 

to you³: search the model specific stuff for your computers - using a wrong model specific image will mostly end in an kernel panic

get used to it that some stuff might not work - like wifi on my 1005ha, or full gma500 on my p11z or almost anything on the g6060eg

 

if you absolutely need a computer with full osx support and no trouble to set it up - get a mac

some problems can be easily fixed (like the wifi stuff on my 1005ha - but i don't care about that) - others never - but hey - it's fun ;)

Does this mean you have the VGA working? If so, how, I did not see a fix for that.

Houston... I have a problem!

 

Hello and happy Christmas to all.

 

I'm trying to install SL on Vaio VGN-P19VN that has got a 128 SSD.

I have downloaded Beermacht VaioBootImage.dmg and I did a bootable image from Windows with transmac. All OK.

I restored a DMG from an original SL DVD to a 8GB USB drive (Sandisk Cruzer). OK.

 

Now I have got:

 

1 PEN with bootable Beermacht Chameleon-2.0-r431;

1 PEN with original SL DVD.

 

And NOW?

 

1) I put these 2 pens on Vaio (2 USB port);

2) I switch power on (after changed BIOS order of boot) and Chameleon bootloader starts;

3) I press "q" for adding options "cpus=1 -v" and installation starts.

 

Now the problem: after some time, a message appears: "still waiting for root device" and installations stops.

 

I think that problem is SSD or Windows 7 partition format (maybe OSX system doesn't recognize Windows Partition?).

 

I tried to boot from an "old" Kalyway 10.5.5 image (external USB DVD) and installation.. Same result: an icon of a little circle with a diagonal segment on the center of the apple logo (grey screen).. it seems that system doesn't recognize any storage support..

 

What can I do?

Please, help me :(

 

Bye

Alex

 

I am trying to install snow leopard on a vgn-p35gk and get the same issue as well of waiting for root device.... any help guys?

hmm - strange

i don't think that the ssd is not the issue

the windows 7 partition should also be no problem with the "still waiting for root device" (the partition will be a problem when you have an unpatched install dvd image (mbr/guid)

 

have you copied the extra folder and the other stuff to your sl installation pendrive ?

yep... i've the extra's folder in the right location. I can even see the kexts being loaded including the PIIXTA kext as well... Could it be a missing device ID entry in the kext info.plist?

I was unable to get it to work with two USB drives. If you can manage to get it all on the same flash drive it will work.

 

I even tried using 1 thumb drive as well as using the ryuu's original method of a clean install from retail disk on thumb drive. the thumb drive boots my macbook perfectly fine but on the vaio i still getting the waiting for root device error.

Snow Leopard retail works fine with some very quick modifications. See this post for full details: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1313083. I've used this method several times and it works totally fine.

 

 

Show Leopard retail...???

 

unbelievable !!!

 

need an exentral DVD Drive??

 

this is the correct method --> BOOT 132 - MAC OS X RETAIL DVD - iATKOS V7 ...????
