First thanks everyone for sharing information on this forum. After a whole day work, now my thinkpad T410 is a nice working Mac OS workstation.

Hardware configuration:
CPU i7-620M 4GB DDR3.
Video: Nvidia NVS 3100M. Works fine out of box. 1440 x 900 resolution.
Hard drive - I removed DVD drive and add another drivein ultrabay. So it is a dual boot now. the first drive is Win7 and the second one is Mac OS X.
Network: Intel 82577LM Gigabit Ethernet + Intel 6300 a/b/g/n. Ethernet works, but WiFi does not. Plugged in Airlink101 AWLL5088 nano USB WiFi card with included OSX driver. Works like charm.
Bluetooth. It seems to working but I didn't test anything.
Audio: Connexant HD Smart Audio 221. VoodoHDA driver works fine.
keyboard and touchpad. VoodooPS2 doesn't work well - touchpad is too sensitive. When I type on keyboard, mouse cursor moves all around and clicks. Very annoying. Also there is no scrolling with VoodooPs2. Searched on web and found Synaptics_APPLE driver (http://www.mediafire.com/?1izyitdmtzd). It works much much betters with two finger scrolling and the sensitivity is just about right.
Webcam: works fine out of box.

For installation, use iBoot + EasyBeast. Also manually enable audio, network in multibeast. That's it. Since no power manager driver, it works just like a desktop. But that is just what I need.

Do you have any problems with the graphics? I'm having trouble with this on my T410. Everything is working OK, but after booting, the GUI will freeze after just a few seconds. The log shows a lot of NVDA driver errors on channel timeouts, etc.

Did you make any DSDT adjustments? Could you run


and post the output?

I don't have extra harddisk as you. But the hardware configuration should be the same. Is it possible to boot snow leopard and windows from the same harddisk, probably along with ubuntu too?

Hi,

Can someone guide me how to boot properly MacOS on my T410?
First of all I have the following T410 configuration:
i560M CPU
Nvidia NVS 3100M
4 Gb ram
320Gb HDD

I have started by booting iBoot CD then followed normal instalation from Snow Leopard DVD. After installation everything is working well (except wifi card) but I can only Boot MacOS with iBoot CD. Everythime i try to boot from the HDD I get a reset of the laptop and then it goes again in Cameleon, again reboot, like a loop. I tried to boot with -v -x, in single mode and with the same result: reboot
If I insert iBoot CD everything is booting normally.

Do I missed something during installation/postinstalation?
I really want to be able to boot from HDD without the CD inserted all the time.
Anybody has ideas, can help me?

Thanks,

Take a look at Francis's Page. http://francisbyrne.net/?p=16

It might help you.

I tried again and I am stuck at this screen. Note: previously I could load up the OS.
But this is a new installation.

Sorry, may be I was not clear enough.

I can install Snow Leopard fine. But the problem I have is when I tried to install Windows 7 Pro (x64), it says windows cannot install on this partition.

I found out that it's because of the GPT partition table.[/quote]

Yes, of cause, windows can only install on MBR partition.[/quote]

You can install windows on GPT!!! I do that on my desktop and laptop

If you are referring to Thinkpad T410/T410S default factory settings should work. Most importantly set the harddisk controller mode to AHCI. That's all.

I successful install my thinkpad t410 with triple boot. OSX 10.6.6, windows seven and ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.

However i am interested in know how to make it work 100% on OSX. sleep, shutdown and battery meter.

Hi,

i have a T410 with switchable graphics. Both the Intel HD and the Nvidia NVS quadro. Does anyone have Mac OS running on such a system? I cant get graphics working with QE/CI .. only in vesa mode.
