Hi all, i installed iatkos7 on my T60 (8741, widescreen, atix1300) over the weekend. This isn't a walkthrough, you can adapt some of the other ones if you need that but my quick notes for those doing this, if you can't follow me, i apologize ahead of time this is more for people who have done many hackintosh installations.

I installed over an iatkos5 copy that worked pretty well, the big reason to upgrade is supposedly with iatkos7 you can run software updater now. I'll let people know when 10.5.8 comes out

Not much to do to update for me, when i installed i made sure to include the apple ps2 option (for keyboard) and the ACHI options (for sata support) and the ATI option (for my x1300).

For some reason my networking did not work, so i copied over the IONetworkingFamily, IO80211Family kext files from the iatkos 5 installation. I also made the change to the ATIRadeonX1000.kext to recognize my ATI card for QE/CI

That was pretty much it, it only took me an afternoon to get it back to working level of iatkos5 when i started. i think i might've wasted some hd space by note wiping and installing but it saved me time from having to reinstall everything.

I also installed chameleon 2, which messed up my vista/win7/linux booting, i have to fix that now. i was using grub but i'll try to switch to chameleon to boot everything.

Here's hoping the software update function works.

Once I finish downloading it, I will be loading iatkos 7 on a 2nd HD I have and testing it out. The idea of one of my favorite OS's on my favorite laptop just makes me happy thinking about it. Glad to hear you got yours working. Don't be surprised if I pop in here asking for some help with mine.

np. i just updated to 10.5.8 using software update and everything was fine. i think the only thing i had to do was update the Airport extension to recognize my atheros wireless card again.

i never got around to switching to chameleon as my boot-screen. i'm still using grub because i'm use to it and chain-loading into chameleon, but it works for me.

Temetka i hope you have no problems installing v7 i been running them for a coouple of weeks on my both R60 no much diferent with yours T60 i read the speac i hope your T come with a Atheros card otherwise you will have a bit of hard time working the network here minhi always avoid mention that, I want to make you aware that if you proceed to install 10.6 later you may want to stay in 10.5.7 because of kext comflic perhaps minhi is not aware of that too.
I am opening my own tread today offering help to others about V7 that I found is made for lenovos machine maybe I see you there.

Hi Minhi ...
my question is easy....
I try to install the iatkos v7 on my t60 and the installation crash....
My t60 is a duo core (1951-BY8)
Do you use a specific parameter for the installation step?

To a complete info I try the same activity on a T61 and the installation crash too!

Any suggestion?

Ciao to all
