  1. So I've managed to get Snow Leopard installed on my d630 2.6ghz with Intel graphics and 1440x900 screen. I had to use an older DSDT that was created in a separate thread (for EDP 1.8). The EDP 1.9 thread for the same configuration had a newer DSDT but it will not work on my machine. I made the pen drive by following wiki instructions and then replacing the preboot.dmg with the one which had the older DSDT. This worked for the install. I then ran EDP 1.9, saying yes to almost everything, then I ran lizard to change the resolution (just incase it's necessary) and finally replaced the new DSDT with the older one from the preboot.dmg. Everything works except for sleep. I've looked for upgrade instructions on the wiki, but all I can see is to run upgrades. Should this be done via the software updater or the combo update file? Do I need to do anything to the machine prior to reboot? Do I run EDP again and when should I do this? I tried to upgrade to 10.6.8 via combo update and then run EDP prior to reboot (which is how I've needed to do upgrades on my desktop), and replaced the DSDT again, but that wound up with a white screen with the apple and not even a spinning wheel. I could try this with lots of trial and error, but I figured I'd ask if anyone had a clear upgrade path. Thanks so much for all the work that you've all put into this. It's exciting to have OS X running on this machine!
  2. Thanks. That seemed to do the trick and installed Chameleon. I've run into another snag with KP directly following boot. I've posted that question here.
  3. Hello. Sorry for the noobish question (and I'm sure I'll have to apologize as I have more), but I'm having a hard time creating the pen drive for installation. I've restored my Snow Leopard install DVD onto a GUID formatted single partition 8gb USB stick and copied over the contents of extras. When I launch the Chameleon package I get the installer but have no way to install it to my usb stick. The window is quite dark and is hard to read, but it appears that there is a blacked out "install location" present, I just can't select it. It wants to install on the primary hard drive of my desktop (another hackintosh). What am I missing here? I've tried installing the package from the usb stick itself - same issue. Also, do I need to copy over the contents of "Preboot.dmg" or should this stay as a dmg file on the usb? Thanks so much!
  4. Thanks! I feel really silly right now.
  5. First off, this site looks great! I'm impressed at all of the information here, and the forum. Great stuff, I hope to be able to contribute soon. I have noticed, however, that many of the posts refer people to read the wiki. I can't get there. The wiki doesn't seem to be anywhere on the main page and when I click on "Wiki" on the upper ribbon between "Members" and "Twitter" it just brings me to the homepage for the website. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get there? Thanks!
