Lenovo Ideapad Y500

[Marcusborjesson]

Has anyone had any luck installing ML on a Lenovo Ideapad Y500 yet?
Even if you haven't got it to work to 100% tell me, because the only features i need is sound working and a usb socket or SD card reader to work.

Thanks in advance!

You will need to disable nvidia in BIOS or remove the nvidia kexts (NV*, Geforce*).

Then use "IGPEnabler=N -v -x -f UseKernelCache=N dart=0"

See if that gets you into the installer...

Then you'll focus on using the nvidia. Start with GraphicsEnabler=Y or GraphicsEnabler=N depending on the nvidia chipset. Other than that, I'm not familiar with it.

To avoid such problems in the future,
Please provide complete details in your profile.

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
