Dell Precision M65, Help needed

Recommended Posts

Made a fresh OSX Lion 10.7 installer stick using myHack, included the Extras from http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-lion.zip tried booting from this stick.

 

No luck I get a kernel panic with the message about AppleHDAController

 

Can someone give me a recipe that works with this hardware?

 

The closest I have come is booting into safemode in Mountain Lion which works fine except it is 1024x768 with no hardware acceleration.

 

I might have some more time in about 15 hours from now, so any input would be great.

What should I be using?

For giggles I tried a Lion Installer with the myHack and the Dell D620 Extra's pack, this resulted in a kernel panic.

 

I am wondering if I would be better off doing some paid work and buying a mac laptop.

The M65 really is like a D820 with the NVS 110M of the D620 and you should be able to use the bootpack of either or... Make sure your BIOS is configured as per those models' recommended settings.
