Hexidecimal Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks MacGirl this guide was really helpful and got me a fully functioning Vostro 1500 Hackbook Pro. However, I've lost my ability to reboot and I'm not sure why. The system blacks out, but never fully restarts, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elpaw Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 For Leopard it appears that iAtkos is the easiest way.Since 10.5.1 Nvidia kexts doesn't work you need to boot with -s option (single user mode) at boot and delete or move NVDAResman.kext in order to boot in the GUI. How do I do this? It says that NVDAResMan.kext is a read only file system, even if I do it with sudo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esthetik Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi everybody, I've finally suceeded to install everything possible i had on my dell xps m1330, so i wanted to share my detailed experience as a newbie in osx world, hoping it could help some o you. so i'll try to describe it chronologically : ->First about the install, you have every needed guide, but to sum up you have to use iatkos 1.0ir2 dvd, and only enable darwin efi option in "customize". then about your partitions, you have to put it up good maybe the best is with gparted live cd, but you also have enough tutorial for this.But after the setup is complete, you have too (at least that was my case) use gparted livecd to uncheck the boot flag, then to close the windows, then to come back in and check the boot flag, so that your partition will boot. otherwise it probably won't. Now the customization of the laptop : ->the 10.5.2 update first thing to fo in my opinion : use help that you can find here(french) or here. only thing VERY important is to think of replacing the needed kext (see help topic) BEFORE reboot, otherwise you will find yourself without keyboard and trackpad, and that might be a problem if you don't have anything to connect near. ->then batterymetter + speedstep : i personally followed this link, used it with another kernel (9.2.0) from netkas website, with the smbios from the same netkas post, and the power management from jaro.... (i know, lot of different source)But, in order to make this work, you need to check as macgirl said a lot of times the version of appeACPIplatform and appleACPIpowermanagement, my appeACPIplatformwas a different one from the vanilla one, and i had to change the version to make it correspond (ask if you want the code to check and change the version, or the procedure ton install acpipowermanagement.kext in acpiplatform.kext) then everything goes well and you have both batterymetter and speedstep working with the last kernel (9.2.0). ->Sound : of course you take the package in the first post of this topic (stac9228) but you also need here to delete appeazilla.kext before, macgirl indicated it in a post, but i think it should be more explicited, because i couldn't get sound before, and after i removed it, everything worked prefectly by patching with kexthelper and repairing extensions as usual. ->graphics: for nvidia card, i installed scottdangel v.33, no problem reported. ->wifi : need to purchase a new card, i personally use a dell 1490 (b/g) connected in the wwlan port (the C part on the back of your laptop), and used 2 of the 3 cables free to connect it, recognized as a airport without anything else. But about these connectors, the N card that i leaved where it was should be connected with 3 connectors and not 2 to functionne as a N-wifi card, that's weird, apprently dell gave us a card that is not working at full potential on this laptop.... a waiy to try is to connect the N-card in the wwlan slot to connect all the 3 cables in it (the 2 usual + the grey one) and see if it makes a difference....well it is not the problem here. ->My only left problems are the sound drivers that are not working perfectly since when i plug a headphone in the slot, it goes through headphone but don't stop working through speakers.... maybe we need to wait another driver's revision, anyone has informations on that ? then my second problem is the sleep function : i don't know if it work, probably not, but i do know that after a while, when the display as turned black and i probably the hdd is sleeping to (or should...) then i can't wake him up again, and i had the same problem in windows with the "long sleep" mode... so it does look like it work, even though i know it's not, do you have answers about that ? and why can't i wake him up too ? okay i've finished my long long long post, sorry for that but since it was very difficult for me as a newbie in macosx world (and mostly in terminal command) to install it properly (needed at least 3 full days on it to complete everything) i hope it will help future hackintosh switchers ^^ if you have questions about how to do any actions i reported, i'll try to answer it, cause i had to search for a lot of time to find each answers i neeeded. finally excuse me for all the mistakes in my english i have probably done, i'm a french 19 student.... And finally finally thanks macgirl and everybody that has tried to help us all to install macos on our laptop, because it is probably not easy to answer each time the same questions again and again when it seems so easy for you ...thanks for that ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridicule Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Can someone tell me, does sound ALWAYS work when you delete AppleAzalia.kext? because when i cold boot i still get no sound until i reboot, does anyone know why? also i find sound randomly starts working if i delete /system/library/extensions.mkext after a while, ill have a look at the AppleHDA.kext later see if i can work something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khull Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ok guys i've been experimenting and i have an almost sure way of getting my audio back after a reboot - start up leopard as normal but with the power plugged in, if you find yourself without any audio from the speakers just unplug the power for a couple of minutes (go make some coffee), then when you try and set the volume it comes back on then you can plug in the power again. i think it seems there is something to do with the CPU speed setting, i could be wrong but it has worked every time for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 M1530 did boot up once from USB HD install of iATKOS 1.0i. Now it won't boot anymore. I have used GPartEd v0.3.4-11 CD to set the "boot" flag (per instructions) with each subsequent iATKOS install. Nothing happens. I have installed a 60GB SATA HD into the XPS M1530 and have tried 4 different iATKOS installations. Nothing will boot. I repartitioned the internal HD with MBR, and reformatted with HFS+, then set boot flag. Didn't work (tried it 4x, w/variations) As for iATKOS: I've tried plain vanilla (no options selected). I've added a few options (EFI standard kernel). I've added a bunch of options (NVidia, Broadcomm, EFI, etc). No matter what I install, all I get upon reboot is a flashing cursor. What am I missing, folks? Is there a step I've forgotten? It booted once, after the 2nd iATKOS installation. (Vanilla, I think). I had 1024 x 768 video, no sound, but wireless (Dell 1490) worked fine. Oh yeah, I also tried switching off AHCI in the BIOS. Didn't change a thing. The M1530 won't boot from either USB or internal SATA installations. Help! I've spent 10+ hours on this now! I'm about to give up. Thanks to all for your help, especially you, Macgirl.

macgirl Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sometimes the worst part is making to boot, once this step is passed everything is more easy. Did you read the guides to make install the bootloader manually? From my expierence the better way to make a volume bootable is to format the partition with Jas 10.4.8 DVD, just format with it and install with any method of Leopard.

That was the quickest response ever! I did not see any guides for "make"ing (compiling) the bootloader. Which bootloader, BTW? Got a link? I like your suggestion to use JAS 10.4.8. I have 10.4.9 - maybe it will work well enough to get the drive to boot. Thanks again, Macgirl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khull Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 number 6: make sure you set your partition active after installation. boot back using the install dvd and then run fdisk - from memory its something like fdisk -e /dev/rdisk[number] update f [number] w q (oh yea make sure you run the darwin bootloader and ensure it installs successfully first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twimfy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yesterday I got my XPS M1330 to boot Leapord no problem using iaktos r2 and the Gparted flag trick. For those still looking for exactly what to hit in the installer menu...only Darwin EFI. Leave the drivers and patches alone, the M1330 will just crash if you try anything else. After a bit of playing I got sound out of the speakers and the video drivers installed for a lovely bit of 1200 x 800 resolution. The only downside is that I can't get wirelss or ethernet. The annoying thing is my dad has a Dell Truemobile card in his inspiron but won't let me switch it for mine. Although I did have a quick look at my specs today, I have a Broadcom network adapter and an intel 3495ABG wifi card. Shouldn't the broadcom network adapter work out of the box? Also can I get a driver for the 3495 ABG or should I be taken out and shot for asking a n00b question again? I'm back on Vista but it would be nice to get a stable set up working, I'm emmigrating soon and can't take the risk to convert fully just yet.

sese Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Is it not possible that the reason why sleep shutdown and reboot dont work is because of an nvcap value or does external displays work with the efi string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
