XXX Tiger 10.4.11 on Thinkpad T42

#1 Post by DaKKS » Sun Aug 19, 2012 12:55 pm

I recently acquired T42 that was going to fix up my old T40, but it is in such good condition that i didn't have the heart to strip it. And by good, i mean near mint. Aside from the top cover there is not a single scratch on it. And the battery does 2-2 1/2 hours.

Small issue, the distro I'm using XXX Tiger 10.4.11 rev 2 because that apparently works best on this thing, but i cant get it to boot. I have tried dozens of combinations for two days straight now and i just can solve this.

Anyone here running Tiger on a T42 please lend a hand and post a working config. I really need this to work. And I'm about to tear my hair out...

Never mind. Got it working. The good old trial and error/push every button available method.
I even have airport w/ BCM94318 and no-1802 hack.
