Does anyone know of anywhere selling the higher spec (6-cell) Linux Version of the Advent 4211??
I'm pretty positive I'll be buying the Advent 4211 from Currys Digital (270) in December so looking forward to Dual Booting Mac OS X  Edit: Deleted info and link about Realtek OS X Drivers as noticed it has been posted in different topic in the Similare Topics below This post has been edited by UndeadDevil: Oct 8 2008, 18:54 -------------------- T-Mobile MDA Vario II on Flext 35 + Web'n'Walk Pro + VPN.T-Mobile.UK APN (Allocates a IP instead of NAT)

I had real difficulty installing OS X on my Advent 4211. I'd started by changing the HD for a 160GB I'd previously been using in an external case with my Macs. Mostly it refused to recognise it as a start-up disk, although I got as far as installing 10.5.3 once or twice. Finally I thought to check the options (which I hadn't previously looked at) when partitioning the drive, clicked on 'default' and it changed the setting from 'Apple partition scheme' to 'GUID'. After that the install went through without any problem.
Probably not a common issue but worth checking if you are having problems. By the way, I'd like to use the HD I removed as an external but I don't want to lose the original Advent XP install in case I ever want to sell the computer. Is there any way of backing it up or can I just keep any Advent files and re-install from a standard XP disk? |

A Application like Norton Ghost, PC Disk Image, Self-Image, assuming the Default Installation Restore is on a seperate Partition from the main OS Install.

Ok, Update for anyone interested, I have the UK Medion Akoya Mini E1210. I am currently successfully dualbooting XP and OS X, Wifi is working, graphics is fine, only problem is the battery kext needs reinstalling all the time and obviously no input devices.
For information the RALINK (Not Realtek) Wifi card in the Medion does NOT work with the drivers on the Ralink website. I emailed Ralink and they sent me a driver that DOES work. For the GMA950 I used an updated one that I found linked here somewhere from another forum and is farily recently, near the end of september. I have it on my OSX desktop still if anyone needs it uploading. Also, I used the KALYWAY 10.5.2 and associated process, MSIWindOSX86 DOES NOT work. Again, DO NOT follow Pauls video, it has some key mistakes that will break the install, instead follow his text guide, this does work. Now that I have everything working the next step is to get a working input driver for the microphone and for the headphone socket then everything works. Also, I need to look into fixing the the battery.kext randomly uninstalling itself and not getting found every so many restarts. |

Hello everybody! :-)
I've just installed osx86 on my Msi wind (thank you very much for the very detailed step-by-step instruction :-) ) I'm from Italy so my keyboard is a little bit different, btw using osx I can't use the little key between shift and Z (is there any workaround?) and I cannot even use symbols like @, #, [ and ] They shold work with altgr+ò, à, ecc, in windows or alt+ò, à, ecc in osx but they don't work at all. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks |
