10.6.8 is tricky update, you may consider to remain on 10.6.7 ...

Have a look here !

Your system seems to be compatible ... and has already be tested except for the Sim Card Slot ...

Your unknown card seems to be some kind of IBM SSD try to remove it and then reboot ...

There might be a solution for us ... we still need to investigate !

For those who are wondering about "10.7.X on X60t" , you can have a look at my Wiki ! :P For the moment, I manage to get 10.7.0 GM to load properly (GMA950, PS2, Sound, Wifi, Battery ...), the only annoying fact is that "Finder.app" require SSSE3 support which is not handle by our CoreDuo ! :| Roari...

I'm having some serious problems using the MacPNT/iBoot Boot CD. When I load the Snow Leopard CD using the bootloader, I immediately get a kernel panic and a message "Version mismatch between kernel and CPU PM" Just wanted to check if anyone else gets this problem and if this is a problem I could f...

I've been trying to get Lion working on my X60 for a while, and I have several ideas for you : 1. Try to install Lion on an external drive from Real/Supported Core2Duo Mac and remove the famous "/System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist" (I tried this here ) 2. Google for "Lion on Unsupport...

Hi. I don't have a mac and have tried following the iboot step 2 method. Do iuse the iso provided by sebinhouse or the retail DVD? Either way I get kernel panic(I think) where it just says restart. I've tried typing the the PCIRootUID=1 etc and -x but still get the same outcome. What am I missing h...

Great report ! :thumbs-UP: I tried to install Lion on my X60t several weeks ago, but it turns out to be very limited : my proc is a Yonah CoreDuo with 32bit support. The laptop can't install, or boot on Lion directly, we need Core2Duo to do it. And at last Finder became a 64 bit app from Dev Preview...

- Can these kexts be placed in /E/E even though one is the same name as the one in /S/L/E - how does the one in /E/E take precedent? Chameleon bootloader is supposed to "replace" the kext from /S/L/E from those from /E/E if they have the same name ... but sometimes something goes wrong and it doesn...

You need to know which WIFI Card your X60 you have : Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter (Chipset: Atheros AR5006EX (As printed on card AR5BXB6) or AR5212) ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter (Chipset: Atheros AR5418...

Here is the wiki : http://osxonthinkpads.wikidot.com/

About VGA issues : did you tried the app "mirror" from the first post? I will try to find a cable and a screen to see if my VGA-out works on 10.6.8 ...

The Wiki is (would be) a good one. I could do it for the X61 Tablet. I suggest using this structure: - DSDT fixes for each section (i.e. PCI / WAK ... ) - BIOS updates 10:6_ - Bootloader - Device Drivers in /Extra + /S/L/E - .... 10:7_ - Bootloader - Device Drivers in /Extra + /S/L/E - .... By the ...

Hey Guys, i did the 10.6.8 Combo Update yesterday. Nevertheless it slows down everything. I am going back to 10.6.7 right now. Did you tried to restore the 80211.blundle from 10.6.7 ? and IOPCIFamily ? It could be good start before the downgrade ... By the way, anyone tried Lion beta? Not yet ... b...

BTW, did anyone make an update to 10.6.8? Does it work ok? I did it. Unfortunately its result is less pleasing than 10.6.7. My X60T still boots, but after loginwindow is loaded, it is very slow. Takes around 1 to 2 minutes after entering password to show the desktop, 1 minute more to load all top b...

The Combo Update is completely OK for me

I don't have access to a Mac unfortunately, so I was wondering what I need to do to BootCD_MacPNT to make it work with MBR ( i want to dual boot). is this possible? I feel like i may be asking to have cake and eat it too. I never actually used the BootCD Method (for me it is just a "Backup" BootCD ...

I get the strange FSB/busclock values as you do! The suggested fix using chameleon rc5 and a modified smbios.plist didn't work for me. Still hangups and completely wrong FSB. Make sure your modified SMBIOS.plist is recognized by chameleon RC5 : boot with this and read if SMBIOS is loaded (capital l...

SpecialKeysTray has this strange "access denied"-like symbol and can't be started exactly as already depicted in Sebinouse's screenshot. The PrefPane doesn't load. So I can now compile and load the two files. But I still have warning during built and I am not sure they work properly ... More detail...

Sorry to re-appear with a problem, but: My ThinkPad X60 Tablet 6363-2AG (Intel CoreDuo, GMA950) seems to have a problem with Sebinouse's recent MacPNT packages (currently version "2011 02 15"). Which is strange because our ThinkPads should be pretty much the same. Here's what happens: My ThinkPad o...

Hi Have you guys noticed that Speedstep Pstates on C2D L7500 is not well defined. Neither of the FSB or Bus frequency. I used Macbook 3,2 as model, and I have a X61s Pstates are those for a Core2Duo T7600. I never tested them as I only have a CoreDuo L2400. You can try to remove them from DSDT and ...

I've put the SpecialKeys sources to googlecode on specialkeys.googlecode.com Thanks a lot ! I managed to compile the prefpane, but I can't find the "SpecialKeysTray.app", which doesn't work on my X60 ... How can I compile it ? Btw, I found the other source of random freezes. Tuxera NTFS (previous v...

I have a T60 with C2D T5500 and GMA950 and if I use your X60(C2D, GMA950) DSDT from the 2011-02-15 package than one of my core is run at 100% while the other one is run normally. I found a working DSDT but I think something's wrong with it because the core's idle temperature never go under 50C. P/C...

You're right this part of the guide isn't crystal clear ...

You have to copy AppleHDA.kext inside /System/Library/Extensions/ on your HDD (you can also do it on USB Key but it is not mandatory) ... I will update the first post later ...

And you only have the snoopy on boot or something else ?

A question on sound. If I use the modified AppleHDA in S/L/E, am I supposed to remove VoodooHDA from /E/E ? Seems I get errors and VoodooHDA doesn't load. Thanks for ll the great work ! Yes I completely forgot this on the first post ! Modified AppleHDA.kext comes with the new DSDT.aml, has to be in...

So we gonna try to make this work ! @chinaski I still have this error on boot (with or without TCSync kext in /E/E). If this line is displayed, I don't think this the cause of your hang up on boot. The next step on my boot log is " ACPI: System State [S0 S3 S4 S5] (S3) " maybe your system is unable ...

Did you tried la suite protector : http://www.upek.com/mac/download/ ? (Worked fine on my X60t)

... the link still works for me : http://www.mediafire.com/?f72l12mfua4rnj8

If it is still off for you I will post it again ...

Only the kext in /E/E or in /S/L/E are recognized by the bootloader and by MacOSX ... you can safely remove this folder ! (Make sure you have some kext in /E/E ...)
