The prospect of having an actually functional system at the end was the spark I needed to try OS X. Firstly, thanks for all the work you put into converting the T42 guides over for T40s. The only option I've got now is to use the USB DVD Rom to boot, but that will again get me into the painful long intallation process. In the Acronis OS selector, I could only see Win XP and if I force the 5th partition to be the active, I will receive an MBR 3 error when it tries to boot up. It will boot into Windows XP automatically. I have gone through all steps of installation, and the computer is restarted.īut I could never get it boot into OS X, if I remove the installation disk. Here is the result I get when I type list partition in diskpart (after I have installed OS X on Partition 5): The disk I am using is the 'Mac OS X 10.4.8 ' My T40's DVD rom cannot read disk now, so I am using an external USB DVD rom to intall OS X. You might be able to figure out what's wrong in my installation. I am putting my question here, since you are using the same guide and same hardware.

It is quite strange because it seems nobody had this problem - everybody said: after the installation, you could play a little bit in Mac OS and then you need to fix the dual boot issue. I posted another thread to ask why I could not boot into OS X after the installation. But I am still struggling on the first stage. I am also trying to intall a dual boot system on my T40. I'll try my best to answer any of your questions! Here is the zip containing the required kexts:

Note: Using the power management extensions provided with the Jas 10.4.8 install image, I can't get the Thinkpad to goto wake from sleep. Wireless support for a Netgear WG511T PCMCIA card Ethernet support for an Intel PR0/100 VE Chipset JaS 10.4.8 Install (See guide for exact version) I decided to consolidate all the information for all the major components and put it into a guide that is promising for those of us who own a Thinkpad and for myself in case I ever needed to reinstall OSX. The reasons I put this guide out is because the current guide on the OSX86 Project wiki is specific to a Thinkpad T42 and does not deal with any post installation issues such as graphics and networking. I've been messing around with the OSX for only a day now, originally going to buy a MacBook the other day when I found out you can put OSX on an Intel computer.
