Ok before i start let me say i have alll over this forum backwards and forwards and i been at this ..."experiment" for 3 days now and im at the end of my rop and saying forget it all but before i do that instead of reading thru countless threads searching for an answer i figure i finally ask. Also im not even sure if my computer will run it ... Also my end result is to have my pc dual boot windows and Mac os x
Also please note i been working on computers inside and out for over 10 years and im only 26
Let start from the beginning
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5270 @ 1.40GHz, 1401 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. A09, 7/10/2008(which is the latest and i think may be my problem but ill get to that later)
Display Adapter Type GeForce 8400M GS, NVIDIA compatible
Name HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-T11N ATA Device(if relevant)
(if any more information needed Please ask)
So i go thru the guide tells e to enable ACHI(which is done by default) And HPET 64bit(which is no where to be found in my bios i updated the bios to the latest to see if it shows up nothing.
But i keep moving foward cause im hard headed.
I purchase SL Retail and i burn a copy of iboot
i pop iboot in then SL and i get nothing
I do a bit searching I find out to put in -v -f acpi=off and this actually gets me to the installation
I go thru the installation process the guide says it will take 20-30 minutes to finish... My installation takes 2 hours(i kid you not)
Once installed SL willnot boot
I get a kerna Panic about elltiolegacy rtc i read thru forums saying to delete it using single user but that will not boot
also says to try deleting the kext via the install the disc... nothing
so i get ed up with it i delete the whole drive repartition it this time i set the Boot to guid go thru the install process this time it took another 2 hours but it got to the end and never finished... i(i let this sit over night) and then nothing
i attempt to boot the os Same thing about the elltio legacy kext
So i try again with my retail disc
same thing elltio legacy... im really lost as to what to do next ive tried every command i could find
(-x -v -f arch=i386 GraphicEnabler=no) to no avail
i need a bit of guidance... please i would LOVE to get SL on my vostro
Any assistance is appreciated
