Hello everybody.
Its been a while since i have visited this section of the website, and i have decided i would like to try installing OS X again.

I have a laptop this time - Specs here:

CPU
Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66GHZ
Code Name - Merom
Package - Socket P (478)
65nm, core VID = 1.363 V

Motherboard
Manufacturer - Toshiba
Model - ISKAA
Chipset - Intel GM965 Rev. C0
Southbridge - Intel 82801HBM

BIOS - TOSHIBA version 2.10

Graphics - Version PCI Express

DDR2 Memory - Dual Channel - Samsung 2x 1GB
2GB - Symettric DC Mode

Hitachi Hard Drive

I have tried before but didn't work on my desktop...

Thanks in advance

Looks great, download a distro like iPC or iAtkos v5i and good luck ;D

OK, downloading iPC now, should be done by morning.

Any tips for what i should select for packages in the install process? And does this distro work with EasyBCD (installed in the other vista partition)? I heard iAtkos v5i doesn't work...

Thanks again

can you confirm you graphics card? PCI....

Sorry, thats just what it said on CPU-Z.

It is built in to the motherboard, just like the sound.

My fault, not clear there...

You can try installing X3100 in your customize installation

Well, partially anyway...

• I can only boot into safe mode
• My built in keyboard and mouse don't work
• My built in wireless isn't recognised

However, i have only managed to have a 5 minute try as I have been quite busy, so I will not be able to try anything until tommorow, around 11am (its 9.43pm here at time of posting).

Thanks, icchansan, for your help.

And one more thing, i forgot to do the x3100 selection on install, don't know if that is important.

Well you have to boot in safe mode, and try to use the kext from the dvd or try installing osx86 tools to get the drivers, built in keyboard and mouse? @.o u mean ps/2? you need to install PS2 fix or PS2nub, it have to be in the dvd too, whats your Wireless chipset?

OK, will try those things now.

Wireless = Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

Edit - I am now on OS X 10.5.6 using my ethernet connection and built in mouse

OK, now for the other stuff...

Sound = No devices recognised
Wireless = Not recognized
Starting normally (e.g safe mode) doesn't work, get strange pattern on screen - look here

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I would love to be able to use OSX, but i need sound for my music...

Tried sound drivers on the iPC disk, none worked, are there any other distros that might have the driver? I seem to have them all on disk somewhere because of previous attempts at installing OS X...

Wireless would be a joy to have too - i wouldn't know where to get the drivers for mine as it isn't detected by OSX - Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

Thanks in advance
