thanks, I went ahead and installed the kexts option from the EDP, and rebooted, and it appeared to boot, but the screen just went to black. I booted with the -v option and it did not hang, but went to the splash screen, retrying in safe mode right now. is there a doc or link with which EDP are good with what update of the OS? I saw on the wiki page where it listed models with what EDP, but I could not figure out what if I just had 10.6.0 on my d620?

I took a pic with my phone, but not sure how big it will let me attach, I think this is the error: panic/(cpu 0 caller 0x41baaf60): "No HPETs available...CPU(s) configured incorrectly\n"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-90/pmThread.c:148 Debugger called: <panic> Backtrace (CPU 0), Frame : Return Address (4 Potential args on stack) 0x41b9bf08 : 0x21acfa (0x5ce650 0x41b9bf3c 0x223156 0x0) 0x41b9bf58 : 0x41baaf60 (0x41bb63a8 0x2 0xc2a8c822 0x4) 0x41b9fc8 : 0x29c68c (0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0) kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies): com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(90.0.0)0c41ba6000->0x41bbdfff BSD process name corresponding to current thread: Kernel_task Mac OS version: 10A432 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:47:34 PDT; root:xnu-1456.1.25`1/RELEASE_I386 System model name: MacBookPro4.1

can only get read only access to bios, used laptop and I dont know the bios password, from searching, it appears I have to pay dell to recover it for me? I installed 10.6 again from the usb stick, and it shows I have 1440x900 for resolution ona nvidia card. so I am sure that is the right card. installed the versionof chameleon that is in the 1.9.2 EDP, and it gives me the error about your computer must be shut down when I reboot with no other changes made. but it still boots off the USB stick and then select the harddrive. so guessing it is something in the kexts that stops me from booting. everything seems to work other than I cannot boot with the base install. I have sound and wireless.

I am having problems with my D620. I install via the USB method on the front page, and install the 1.9.2 EDP, then run the EDP to do kexts and chameleon, then try rebooting and it goes to a black screen after the osx latitude splash screen, if I boot to the USB stick and pick hte hard drive I get similar symptoms. I tried safe mode. I also reinstalled and installed the kexts and chameleon, and then let it update to 10.6.8 v1.1 and get same results, what am I doing wrong?
