Hi there. I doubt you'll find much help here... But upon searching it appears others have had success with getting this to work (which really surprised me... AMD stuff is difficult). Check out this video: It looks like he's using iFail v7 (you can download it from torrent sites....). You'll need to boot off this DVD after you burn it (using a program like imgburn, my personal favorite), then once it asks you if you want to boot from that disc, press f8. Then type (without quotes): "-x" and press enter. If it loads, you'll have to select your language, then go up to the utilities menu and select disk utility. Click on your Hard Drive in the left column, and then click on partition. See the big thing with white and blue? Yeah, click that and select one partition as the partition scheme. Make sure that the format is Mac OS Extended (journaled) and then go down to options and make sure that "Partition with GUID" is selected. The click ok to exit the dialog box. Then click the button on the farthest right to partition your hard drive. WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. MAKE SURE ALL YOUR IMPORTANT INFORMATION IS BACKED UP. at this point you can quit disk utility. Continue through all installation steps and select your newly formatted drive as the disk to install to. At this point, you will be asked if you are ready to install. Click customize, and at this point follow the video's instructions to install. Once the install is finished, make sure that for your first boot you type "-f" to boot with. This will only be nessecary once, and the purpose is to make sure drivers install correctly. Besides this, everything should work. Follow the instructions that the guy posted about audio, etc to get working. Sorry if that was hard to understand. If you need clarification, feel free to ask Kenny

Thanks for that tip. Just an update, I've been running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 now for about 2 days, with no problems. After the update to 10.6.8, i noticed everything was really slow. So I reinstalled KEXTs (via edp) and now EVERYTHING works. There is not one thing that doesn't work on this laptop. I am so thankful to you guys, and I will probably upload a YouTube video of it running. So again, thanks everyone, I really appreciate your work on all of this One question though... I would like to run lion, and for that I need a 64bit processor that will work in my laptop. I think ive heard that the t7200 will work.... Any suggestions for which processor to choose??

UPDATE: I installed show Leopard about 7 times today. I couldn't figure out which of the extra folders to download off of this site and put on mah flash drive. I eventually decided to use the one for my specific laptop model. It gives me quartz extreme, and MOST everyhting works right. I find that if I use the generic extra folder on my flash drive I end up having to boot with the -f code every time i boot into OS X, and even with that sometimes I get kernel panics. So I now have everything working on this laptop EXCEPT the keyboard and mouse. I have been installing these kexts before I install any updates, so my system installs them at STOCK configuration of 10.6.3. I will mess around with EDP to try to figure out how to get my keyboard to work. Any help would be much appreciated. And BTW im using the article on the wiki for how to make the flash drive with sl. Thanks

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum, but I have successfully put OS X 10.5 on my laptop before. I have a Latitude D520, t2300 @1.66 ghz, 80gb sata (soon to be 320gb), 4gb RAM, Intel GMA 950, Broadcom 43xx WIFI card. My question is about making a snow leopard flash drive as described in the guide. I bought a retail disc, but it turns out my disc is 10.6.3., not 10.6.0 as it says I need. Will this work? If not, is there a way to solve this problem? Anyway, thanks everyone. I really appreciate your help and work on everything -Kenny
