So, OSX start booting normally only after bootloader + EDP?

Well, answer is - No. I made fresh install, installed bootloader, then EDP, restarted and now i see "You need to restart your..."

Rebooted and installed EDP once again. Now it boots itself. No logic.

And on EDP power pack (which is cooler) i can't control brightness. Only on apple one.

Enabled powerpack and its not booting again. So thats was causing problem...

Will make forth clean install just to be sure

Yep. On EDP i select d620 with 950, Apple mouse control + Audio + Lan + NO Powerpack. And its ok from there.

Re-wrote my OSX installation guid :P

So, let me summary itup.

 

What do we need toinstall MAC OSX on Dell Latitude D620 (With INTEL GMA 950):

 

1)Download imageSLD430USB.img.bz2, unpack it and “burn†it on flash driver >8gb. Viamac/linux/windows method described here

http://www.osxlatitu..._Latitudes.html

2)Install MACOSX via this flashdrive

 

a)you need to repartition you HDD in GUID partitiontable via Disk Utility

b)install Mac OSX on Disk 1

c)after installation, when restart will be necessary,use your usb stick to launch mac from “Disk 1â€

 

 

3)After installation, when you will see your desktop, download and install thisbootloader http://forum.osxlati...n-v20-rc5-r665/

4)After that, download and install this http://forum.osxlati...ate-5-released/

by following this guide:

 

1. Download and copy over Extra.zip to /
2. Rename or remove your old Extra (if it exists) folder
3. Unzip Extra.zip to /Extra
4. Open terminal and do:

sudo su [enter]
cd /Extra
./edptool.command

5. Choose to do a new build matching your model and then select Applemouse, Audio(Y),Lan(Y), powerpack(N))
6. Reboot

 

Now it should boot byitself and you will be able to update 10.6 >> 10.6.6

 

Additional this guide to have sleepmode enabled:

Well, i created guest wifi spot and will now install driver :) No protection, but also no assess to home network :)

Well now i don't know how to install these kext :) I've just unpacked them into /System/Library/Extensions

Used Kext Utility, and i'm able to see networks, but its not connecting to them.

Yey! Wifi is working now :) Thought speed and quality of connection is very strange...

Lol, music wasn't playing too long. Connection is VERY weird, speed is about 20kb/s (thoughi have 50mbit) and it dies after some time. Sometime mac loads without any kind of connection...

You sad that someone is working currently on this driver. Where can i monitor the progress and maybe be a betatester?)

 

And still, why mac isn't booting itself with only bootloade installed? Thought its the purpose of this thing?

Im sorry, there is nothing to monitor. Its done when its done... The near future will bring us some interesting and new stuff to get full OSX (SD, Wifi, ...) working on our dells.

 

So keep watching on forum and/or google group

 

cheers
