Excellent. Just re-did my 220 with 10.9.3, and am loving it. Just wish I had a dual monitor card.

Just out of curiosity, how hard was it to install?

Thanks. Posting from it now. May just not mess with the kexts for stick.

Nope, not seeing this in a guide...

Any kext to get the pointing stick to work, or am i stuck with a trackpad?

Thanks.

Thank you Herve. I gave 10.6 a few more tries, but finally just went with Lion. Almost all set. Going to look for a guide before I ask any more annoying questions.

Thanks again. I'll give SL another shot, and use Lion if it doesn't work out.

ML works, eh? Interesting.

Ah! Thank you muchly.

I have a Core 2 Duo 1.2 Ghz chip with 2 GB RAM and an 80 GB HD. System Profile in OSX Installer sees the same. Graphically, using the Intel 945GMS. I had a bad wireless card in there, but shoved in a Dell card that I'd had stashed with the rest of my old Hackintoshing gear.

I will give this another go when I get home.

How is Lion working for you on your D430?

Let's try this over:

Make your USB stick, but don't use myHack! DO NOT ON SNOW LEOPARD... Last thing you want to do. Here's what you want to do:

Insert your Snow Leopard install DVD or if you have a DMG image that works too. Go to disk utility and format a USB stick with Master Boot Record and Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Go to the Restore tab, and for source, click "Image" and select your Snow Leopard DMG file or from the DVD menu if you have the DVD version. For destination, drag your formatted USB drive to the destination section. If you are making it on Snow Leopard, be sure "Erase Destination" is selected. On Lion and Mountain Lion it does it by itself. and then click restore. Enter root password and let it copy away!

 

Now download the latest certified Chameleon bootloader from here: http://www.osxlatitude.com/files/Chameleon.pkg

 

Download this bootpack and put it on the root of your USB stick: http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D4x0-sl.zip

 

Now boot from your USB stick using "-v" or "-v -f -x" and then install OS X. Make sure the hard drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition Table. Now install and when it's done, update to 10.6.8 and run EDP 1.9.2 and make a build. Now reboot. If you want you can also install myHack Utilties and run myFix Full mode

 

Cheers!

Hi there.

This is a GREAT guide, and I get the installer, which is more than I had before, but something is failing the installation checks and not letting me do the actual install. The logs are, oddly, blank. it just says "Instlation checks failure:" with no other information.

Thoughts?

​I can get Lion running, but it's painfully slow. Would really love to have SL on here.
