Thinkpads Forum

Hello,

I have a T60 thinkpad that i have successfully running on the Kalyway 10.5.2 distro. Unfortunately i need to get 10.5.5 working so i can play around with the iphone sdk.

Has anyone successfully got 10.5.5 or later installed? Which distro did you use? What settings?

I tried using iATKOS v5i, and went through about 5 failed attempts. The furthest i was able to get was a successful boot into OSX for the first time, but the computer could not detect my mouse or keyboard.

Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks.

BTW: I have a CTO T60(p) with ati X1400

i have a T60 (not P) but with the X1400 and i was able to boot iatkos fine. did you reinstall the boot loader? I also came from Kalyway and could not get it to work with the previous bootloader, i was able to use both kameleon and efi9 to boot iatkos. i don't have the list of packages i used with me but i'll send it along once i have it again.

everything works like Kalyway, the only change was that i need to boot with -f (flush the kext cache) everytime i boot up.

iPC 10.5.6 runs fine on my T43

I got iAtkos 10.5.5 and iPC 10.5.6 working on my T60 (2613) in a dual boot mode with XP. I tried Deneb 1.4, but after 2 tries, couldn't get it to boot. For iAtkos and iPC, mostly everything works, except for sleep and sound.

Here are the options I chose, and the results:
- Vanilla kernel for both
- Video (ATI X1300 Mobility): no need to chose a special driver b/c base system includes in both iAtkos and iPC; no QE/CI support initially, but works after simple kext edits (haven't solved mouse tearing)
- Ethernet (Intel Pro/1000): Works OOB with both distros (no special driver needed)
- WiFi (Aetheros ABGN): Works OOB with both distros (no special driver needed)
- Sound (AD1981): no option in iAtkos; Didn't get around to debugging, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
- Mouse: chose PS/2 mouse in iPC; works OOB in iAtkos (Disabler.kext includes it?)
- SATA (OCZ SSD, which is not AHCI compliant, but seemed to work fine regardless of whether BIOS was set to compatibility or AHCI): chose Intel AHCI in iAtkos and something similar in iPC. Works OOB.
- Battery: Power management selected for iPC and Laptop Battery for iAtkos -- worked OOB
- Sleep: Couldn't get either system to sleep, even after deleting AppleLPC kexts. iAtkos seemed to behave a little better (shut down network and spun down HDD with screen and fan still on), because it would wake when the mouse moved. iPC required the power button and sometimes crashed. Tried some Sleep kernels with iPC, but they seemed to be buggier.

Try ATIinject.kext with EDID for your video (Google: "ATIinject X1300 site:forum.insanelymac.com"), it will sort out mouse tearing problem.

After deleting AppleLPC.kext try also adding custom AppleACPIPlatform.kext from here. It should sort out your problem with Sleep, works perfect for me.
