Install SL on Sony SZ Laptop (fixed)

[jaymonkey]

UPDATE: Have installed using 10.6.7 and it works, I was using 10.6.0 install disk, which contains the secondary PCI IDE channel is disabled bug, apparently it was fixed in 10.6.3

Good Day to You All.

I am trying to Install SL Retail on my Sony SZ Laptop. But I cant get to the SL Installer. IBoot seems to do its job but i get a Kernal Panic while loading the SL Installer. I believe the reason is due to the fact that the secondary PCI IDE channel is disabled.

This seems to be a known problem with some laptops as documented here :-

The above link also provides a solution in the form of a replacement kext but how can i use this during a install using iboot ?

I don't have access to a mac and opening the osx iso in poweriso only seems to allow access to the windows part of the image not the mac side ?

Is there a solution to this quandary ?

I am new to the hackingtosh world so please excuse if this is a dumb question

Cheers all
Jay

Going to try installing the 10.6 combo if I can get back in - fingers crossed!

I meant 10.6.8 Combo

Nope that failed - "unknown error"

Another thing - my vaio bios keeps resetting every reboot which isn't helping - any way to stop that happening?

Hi,
I am curious, how you managed to install macOS on your Sony Vaio. Since I see your configuration in the signature.
Please answer, because I try to install on the same Laptop as you.
Sony Vaio VGN-SZ1XP

But I have an GeForce Go 7400 onboard graphics. You not?
