finally I was able to install everything!! re-formatted the disk and re-built the installation media from the beginning. zeroed also the beginning of the hdd (cat /dev/zero > /dev/rdiskxxx)
I run in trouble after the installation, and solved using champlist for re-installing chameleon.
I then copy-cloned the obtained system to a friend of mine, with the same laptop, and it seems now working (i'm writing from his laptop)
thank you for this great work!!
Now I'm going to fine tune the system, and I'm looking for a way to optimize and fasten the system: where do I have to start from? the errors in the startup log (dmesg output or other)?
in addition, just to confirm, the external screen attached to via connector is not working.
do you know if it is possible to load a driver for the touchpad having multitouch capability?
and also, one annoying thing happening to the laptop: as soon as the system is starting up, when it arrives the login screen, it goes stand-by. do you know why?
wifi (intel) is not working, I've just ordered a broadcom (dell dw1510 half size). currently working with wireline ethernet.
