Since the installation process differs a bit from the nVidia-based model, please use this particular thread for reporting issues and raising your queries. Thanks.

 

E6410 Intel HD means Intel graphics, so no stupid questions about Intel wireless please.

Thanks for the assistance, this guide is amazing.  I was able to finally make a working Flash drive with my wife's MacBook Pro and the install went like a dream.  I was able to successfully install 10.9 on a blank MBR partition on my E6410.  My end goal is to dual-boot OS X and Win 7 from different partitions of my SSD and use a shared exFAT32 partition for most of my storage.

 

My question now is how to set up the bootloader.  After the OS X install & post-install, I shut down the computer and removed the USB stick and immediately got a boot 0 error.  I was able to succesfully boot again into OS X with the USB stick inserted and the "-f" bootflag.  I tried using myHack to Install Chameleon to my partition and that still gave the boot 0 error.  

 

So I used a Windows recovery disk and then startup repair to re-write the Windows 7 bootloader and the system now defaults into Win 7 without any problem.  I can also boot into OS X using the USB Stick and the "-f" bootflag (the system KPs if the -f flag is absent).  I'd love to be able to have a simple bootloader where I can choose my Windows 7 partition or my OS X parition, but I'm not sure how to get there.

After another hour or so of futzing, I was able to get the AppStore, FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud working  by downloading Chameleon Wizard and editing SMbios.plist to generate a real serial number for my system.  My only remaining issue is the need to boot with the "-f" bootflag, and I'm not sure how to get that resolved.

 

I also edited the org.chameleon.boot using Chameleon Wizard and unchecked the "graphics enabler" and set the resolution to 1440x900x32.  That made an huge difference in the graphics performance.
