wingrunr21 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 You cannot use a disk that comes with an original Mac. Those are not retail disks. They are restore disks and as such cannot be used for a retail install. You can try iAtkos 4 if you'd like, iDeneb, or an actual retail disk.

party1 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 What distro should i use for vostro 1400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I was trying to play with different BIOS settings as someone esle mentioned on the first page, but that didn't help either. It sounds like it is just the beginning and I can't even get over the first simple steps By the way, I have 3 partitions setup: 1- WinXp - NTFS - PRIMARY 2- Mac OS - MacOS Journaled(After installing iAtkos it left to be in that format) - PRIMARY 3- Shared - NTFS (will probably use Paragon NTFS on Mac Os later to share this data) - LOGICAL I almost lost all my hope now When you used v5i did you choose any options for the ACPI. Or a specific kernel version?? You AppleACPIPlatform.kext seems to be unloadable. Thats whats causing the problem now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danik_iceman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hooray, I am now close to getting Mac Os Installed. So basically, I used retail DVD and it now went good until it came up to the installer and partitioning stuff. I format my partition in Mac OS exteneded journaled, and it goes smooth with no problems. I also have it set up as primary partition. When I choose which partition to install to, the installer says that my newly formatted partition is not compatible. I have no idea why. Anyone know a fix?

wingrunr21 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What distro should i use for vostro 1400? I think success has been had with iDeneb and iAtkos 5. You'll have to do some searching. I'm not as familiar with the Vostros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenizenX Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi there, am a 1520 user who tried ideneb 1.4 (failed utterly) and kalyway 10.5.1 (much better). Is there a guaranteed way to start the installer? "cpus=2 vanilla -v" is my best bet so far BUT => I've tried the same settings like 15 times and finally got it to install, only to have the install encounter the same problem. It's that "panic ..... acpiosfree..... IOLib.cpp" and "AppleACPIFamily blah blah.. dependency IOACPIFamily.kext" Then I get the Mac OS Version : not yet installed thing.. I've never seen such a random thing! lol any advice? PS: I searched this thread but too many keywords everywhere... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingrunr21 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You need to install VoodooUSBEHCI from www.superhai.com/darwin.html. Please see my guide for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimango Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 owkey, problem here. It concerns my network connection, Wifi (dell 1395) and ethernet (marvellyukon2 driver). The problem is that i just lose connection when i am in OSX. Ethernet as well as wifi. For ethernet, only restart makes it work again (i presume). For Wireless i have to disable/enable airport and it works again. I have to do this a couple of times per hour... really annoying. Any ideas? EDIT: Just installed the newest AppleYukon2New driver, hopefully that helps ethernet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingrunr21 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Did you modify AppleUSBEHCI.kext as instructed in Superhai's readme? Check Console.app for errors loading VoodooUSBEHCI.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 MrGeForce 1. Stop Panicking. 2. Go to : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142521 and download the stable M1530 driver. Install the kext and repair permissions. Repeat, Repair Permission. 3. Go to Superhai's page and download VoodooEHCISleep. Install and make sure you make the edit suggested in the README link next to the download link as wingrunr21 already said. Make sure you have everything vanilla, or almost everything. 4. Stop Panicking and check if everything works..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overshoot Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Talisman, Can you give us the link to the post that let you have a mac address and enables you the card after sleep for your Marvell Yukon? Thanks in advance. Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You will find the kext attached to this post.

Xion100 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Managed to get everything working on my XPS M1530 except of course the wifi (cause i have the intel 4965agn, but i ordered a truemobile for 12 dollars xD). I used the iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 distribution, vanilla kernel, kexts for ICH8, ACPI and ps2keyboard, nvdarwin for the vga (runs 720p HD video SMOOTHLY...wow...that's satisfying). Two finger scrolling works but i have no FFScroll in the settings panel...i don't know why that's not showing but until it works like this it's ok for me. SD card reader read sd cards fine...wow...i've got a HackBook Pro! Sleep doesn't work though (like shutdown and restart...these are minor problems...sleep would be nice though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itdoesnotwork Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Does NVdarwin provide better performence than nvinject/nvkush? Do you have to do the sleep-display trick to get full performence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have full performance immediately. Also the HDMI out works with 1680x1050 resolution (that's the native resolution of the screen i connected it to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion100 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 What about sleep doesn't work? The screen turns off and then it turns on again immediately if i close the screen.

Man i love you! xD Now...everything works except internal microphone, wifi (which i'll solve with the new card) and shutdown/restart. This i great! Regarding audio though i was sure i had STAC 9228 so i installed those drivers and everything except this internal microphone work perfectly...but i found out i actually have STAC 9205...do you know if those drivers work better? Cause if they enable EVERYTHING, even the mic...then i'll put them and have a fantastic hackbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
