Bronxteck, you ROCK - I reinstalled using your boot image, everything works PERFECTLY except wireless because it's the Intel card. I did need to have a USB mouse plugged in during install.

Got it - and again, many thanks! What I ended up doing was taking the kexts in the Extras folder on the boot image you uploaded and using kext wizard to install them on the vanilla snow leopard I had installed. That fixed most things, but I now don't have: - Wireless networking - The onboard trackpad. Wired networking and USB mouse work fine. Are there other things I can do (e.g., with the plist files on the CD) without reinstalling the full OSX, which I'd prefer not to do? thanks.

Thanks Bronxteck, that's very kind of you - however it's not working; I get the following screen after booting to the Snow Leopard DVD. I'm not Mac-savvy enough to understand what it is! FWIW, I was able to do a full install booting from Nawcom's ModCD and the mach_kernel, but once installed very little works, presumably because of lacking the right kexts. Audio and video are very choppy, mouse doesn't work at all, no network.

Hello and thank you for all the work you do- I am trying to install Snow Leopard from the retail DVD on a Dell Latitude D820 (1GB RAM, currently with Windows XP Pro loaded, which I want to replace with OSX). It has the nVidia graphics (Quadro). I boot from the disk burned from the image D620SLV1.iso, then swap that disk out and insert the Snow Leopard disk, press F5, and select to boot from Mac OS X Install. The gray screen with the Apple logo appears, then the spinning pinwheel... and then nothing. I left it for several hours just to make sure, but it never moved beyond the spinning wheel. Any pointers on how to resolve this? Thank you!
