D820 nVidia installation hangs on spinning pinwheel

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. -
D820 nVidia installation hangs on spinning pinwheel
andrewperrin replied to andrewperrin's topic in The Archive
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. -
D820 nVidia installation hangs on spinning pinwheel

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!
