Ya, Apples gma driver is only 32bit

hehe.. ssd's for this model dosent come cheap

it needs to be a zif pata...

Th D430 have 1gb build onto the Mobo, as for ssd.. just get a zif pata ssd.. i use a Runcore 120gb.. works like a charm.. and its fast

totally agree there.. even 10.6.5 was more stable.. but i guess 10.6.7 hopefully will clean up in all that

just for the fun of it.. could you do a memory test also.. i know it sounds insane.. but gets thru everything..

good luck!! .. look forward to follow your progress

ohhh.. you can see it.. nice.. can you also read it ? (the sd card i mean)

In dropbox: Home/Leon/report.txt... need more ?

Hey, Could you dump your dsdt.. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/17-vanilla-dsdt-collection/ I wanna see if there is a diffrence compared to mine... .. please use a clean A09 bios...

I also have D430 - 1,33ghz model with SSD.. runs like a dream.. However, i use powerpack and voodoops2controller.. its strange... i wonder if there is several diffrent D430 models out there.. besides the 1,2 and 1,33 ghz i mean... hmmm... what bootloader are you using .. and have you upgraded to 10.6.6 ?

next time you have one, grap your /var/log/system.log and /var/log/kernel.log and post them in a new thread in the support forum... might share some light on the case.. also take note of what it says...

start by the standard leppy install.. its fail safe in many cases... if that works.. great.. if not... move down to 10.5

Hi, First of all, there is no purpose in sharing my /Extra folder, its directly from the EDP, no diffrences what so ever .. see for yourself... Extra.zip As for being able to boot from your HD - then the only thing that i can see is that the bootloader dosent get installed correctly.. Try some of the other bootloaders posted at the forum and see if that help you...

Works under windows.. want me to extract any info ?

Hi, Nope, all i can say is that the method documented on the wiki works for everybody else I have latitudes in my home (D430, D530 and a D820) .. all using the same method, same package, and it works like a charm. So i have to be something in your end...

ohhhh yes.. SSD is niiiiiiiice

heh.. no worries.. give it a try and let us know if it works

could be.. run a memory test =)

did you follow the sleep guide on the wiki ?

D430 / D630 or D820-D830.. depends on your needs.. how are you gonna use it ?

Good question, i have a D430 myself, an i see firewire detected, but dont have anything to test with...

i know this might be asking alot, but can you provide a short guide for the data you want back (some might know, some dont) i can give it a test again later on a D430 and D530

hmm.. i noticed that in bios for your model there is setting for configuring if you want the machine to be "quite" or have "performance" .. did you fiddle with that ?

haha. notice that slice have posted two diffrent
