Oh! Apple

My experience of using iPod Touch, iPod Classics, Mac OSX, Coding in XCode, or anything generally related to Apple

Finally got it working, but ....

Got this error:

The following install step failed: run preinstall script for AppleSMBIOSEI. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

I double check the read me of the universal CD, and found the readme explicitly mentioned no more than 1 kexts. Ah... so that's the problem.


So for the setting time I made some changes:


Kernal: 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel
Video: Intel GMA950
Chipset: Intel ICHx SATA Drivers
audio: AC97 Audio
Ethernet Driver: Intel Pro 100/VE
Wifi : Intel PROSet/Wireless 3945
USB Driver: (all selected)
Power Management: (None)
Fixes and Patches: (None except the following)
  • USB Mount fix
  • PS/2 device support (mouse and keyboard)
Alternated Bootloaders: (None)
Application: (all selected)


And this time the installation was success! However the OS didn't boot into the OSX.
Fear not, for I used Acronis OS Loader, choose Load Wizard, select the OSX partition, set it to Bootable and Active, and then next time I reboot, I got boot into the OSX.

I followed the advice by booting with "-f" . The loading was fine, and finally I saw an OSX 10.5.6 desktop.


Problems need to work on:
  • No Ethernet
  • No Sound
But at least it's getting there .....


BTW, on my Lenovo X60T, holding F12 will give me the boot device selector.
