I finally got back into this and did a fresh install tonight. Installed latest bootloader and 1.6 EDP. All updates work great. For some reason the DVD is not fully working. If I insert a blank disc, it ejects. If I insert a movie, it plays the audio but no video. This is what I have in System Profiler: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4241N: Firmware Revision: A100 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support) Profile Path: None Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw Media: Type: DVD-ROM Blank: No Erasable: No Overwritable: No Appendable: No Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

No. I'm going to have to retry tonight now that I have latest Chameleon and EDP installed. Thanks for your help! I'll let you know how it goes later

I did all the way up until the end step - Setup the bootloader to allow OSX to boot properly. It would only boot to Windows. If I inserted my USB Stick, I got the error booting to OS X. Should I start over?

Nope! I've lost it I guess

OK saved the OS X Install!!! Was able to install 665 and EDP; rebuilt and everything boots. Now, probably a stupid questions but how to i boot into Windows? I have reinstalled Chameleon and when I reboot I only get the option to boot to my OS X volume. If i hit any key, it goes straight to the Mac; no options

Sorry, I had tried the pmVersion=21 -v with the same results but your suggestion of arch=i386 pmVersion=21 -v WORKED!!!! Downloading 665 and EDP now! I'll try after my conference call and update you all here!!!

Alright, here is what I get: 1. I insert my Install Stick which is an image about 2 months old from the OSX Latitude site that I downloaded (This was also used originally to install OS X) 2. I hit F12 and boot to USB stick. 3. The green Chameleon comes up with text at the top left - Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC3 r658 Build date 2009-09-06 comes up 4. My options are: Mac OS X Install USB Stick or GatorMac (the name of my install) 5. If I cursor over GatorMac and enter -s -v [Enter], it goes for about 5 sec and then stops after: Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0 blah blah blah; System uptime in nanoseconds: 511969814 and then does nothing! 6. If I leave the cursor over Mac OS X Install USB Stick and enter -s -v [Enter] it goes a little longer but stops at the same point as number 5 above EXCEPT it now says Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0 blah blah System uptime=21115620666 Either way the system stops at this point

Off to the office to try. CRC, I will add that to my signature today also! Thanks all

Works for a while and then it's hanging at /drv/ HypIoctls.c:912 Ioctl VT-d status: 0 Won't go any further!

I thought it had to do with the EDP so I was trying to put the newest version on the MAC OS X USB INSTALL STICK through Terminal but I couldn't figure that out last night. What exactly do you mean when you say to boot with pmVersion=21?

OK so I'm a dumbass and was typing unmount instead of umount! New to this Mac thing so whatever. Anyway, got Windows 7 installed on a new partition and now trying to boot to my OSX partition. I installed the OSX boot pen and it comes up but when I select my OSX drive, I get a kernal panic: Version mis-match between Kernel and CPU PM Mac OS Version: Not yet Set Kernal version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0 System model name: Macbookpro5,1 I have update to 10.6.6 and installed EDP latest version 5 I think. Any suggestions? thanks

Thought I would try this again. After repartitioning my hard drive, I reboot and enter a Terminal Window. When I try to unmount I get a command not found error (or something similar). I did reboot with my OS X Pen Drive. I have also tried typing sudo first and I get the same error. Any idea? The image on my pen drive is the OS X image and was what I used to install it with.

Cool. I'll order today!

1. Using built in card on the D620 2. At home I have an AirPort Extreme 3. 54 Mbit/s

Thought I would ask this group this question. I have a D620 with OsX installed. I installed iStats which gives me up to date information in my menu bar. The peak download speed I get is usually 120-130KB/s. My internet connection is much faster than that. Why is mine so slow? Is that the max on a wireless signal? Thanks
