[sianto]

Hello,

 

My system is Sony VAIO VGN-TZ37GN

 

I first tried to install Snow Leopard 10.6.3 iAtkos S3 onto it.. Without success.

Error code : "Error parsing plist files"

 

Then, i googled and found this link with Sony Vaio TZ success install :

Also, I found that someone with Vaio TZ37 (same with mine) had a success install:

Therefore, I tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 iPC PPF5 Final Universal onto it.. Also without success...!!!

 

I always get kernel panic:

 

(THIS SCREEN IF I DID NOT PRESS F8)

 

 

(THIS SCREEN IF I PRESS F8 AND -V)

 

 

 

Had 2 previous successfull attempt with my desktop pc and my twinhead notebook.

This Vaio TZ gave me headache. While other TZ users had no problem installing os x

 

What should I do?? Which part did I do wrong? I badly wanted an osx for my TZ.... please help...

I managed to get a good installation of iDeneb 1.5.8 on my TZ26GN using settings at, except that it does not include OS86tools:

I also tried iDeneb 1.6 Lite, however, no success. Kept ending up with a reboot message.

 

Now trying to make iATKOS S3 v2 work. Last effort I ended up not recognising keyboard. Now will try again adding Apple Legacy PS2 driver.

 

PS. TZ26GN has the same hardware as the TZ37GN, except 1.06GHz processor and 80G h/d
