10.5.7

Just wanted to drop a quick note saying that I did my first 10.5.7 upgrade on an iDeneb machine - my personal Vostro 1510 and all went well. So all of you out there running Chameleon, rest assured that it will get you through a 10.5.7 upgrade, or at least that it did for me.

More 1510...

Wouldn't it be great if I received those netbooks? Hey Sascha... yoohoo...

So I received a new Vostro 1510 for my wife to replace her MacBook that belong to the company for which she no longer works. This one was a little different than the last one. The wireless was a 1395, not a 1390 and it has sleep apnia or some other sleep-related issue.

Finally got it running properly with iPC and the Dell Post-Installer, which is where the 1395 drivers hide apparently. Also has to put a special sleep kernel onto it, which is actually a holdover from 10.5.3. But another successful load. The trick with Intel X3100 loads is the x and the v, at least until you get the right video drivers into place. Otherwise forget it.

Speaking of successful loads and Vostro 1510s, my original 1510 was feeling left out, running Kalyway 10.5.5, so I prepped as best I could and allowed software update to install 10.5.6. FIrst reboot sat there spinning its wheel for a minute, rebooted then *poof* 10.5.6! Happy Happy Joy Joy!
