Many thanks. 1505 now on route. Will it just be a case of plug and play?

Ah ok. I assume its the original wifi card i have. I will check this evening. Can you tell me which broadcom wifi card i should look at getting? Andy

Hi, I have managed to get everything working except wireless. Can anyone advise on which kext I require? I have version 10.6.8.

Hi, Can someone please advise on what the best edp is to use with a dell d630 with intel graphics? Andy

Hi, I have been playing about with the kext configuration and learning a little bit more. I am looking for advice though on what type of audio kexts I should use on a dell d630? Is it best to use apple or voodoo and does anyone have a link to the specific kexts that I should use? Thanks in advance. Andy

Ok thank you for the advice.

I am up and going however i have had to disable wifi in the dell d630 BIOS. I now have working keyboard, trackpad etc so i getting there. I now just want to learn how best to install a kext and then if the system has a kernel panic how i should restore to the state before installing the kext.

I am still learning how this all works but i have been able to to get my system booting by using the instructions http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/ which was good. Once booted i have then been trying to run EDP 1.9.1 which I think is OK. I have had various issues which i think i am continuing to get over. My current problem however is shown in the pic attached which i believe is related to the WIFI card. The main problem is i cannot boot in this situation and i am having to re-install each time to try and get things going. I think i should be able to change things using the terminal which i can access when loading the mac install disk. Hopefully you can advise.

Hi, ok it tells me it is something to do with the appleintelcpupowermanager. I am going to try and remove the relevant kext however I am not sure how to do this. I tried booting into the installer and trying to remove it via terminal but im not sure where the kext is located so I am now re-installing and will try to delete the kext before i reboot adter installing the EDP. Does this make sense? I think i should be able to delete the kext from the installer terminal so if you could provide advice on this that would be great. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Once i found the myhack website i was able to get going a little bit better. I have now been able to get my hackintosh booting however i find that the network adapter, trackpad and keyboard dont work on my dell d630. I habe been using the generic extra folder supplied by myhack to get me booting so far however i am guessing that i need to update the kexts in the extra folder to allow trackpad, network etc to work. I have tried using myhack to install "chameleon and extra" to the os disk and specifying some extra folders that are available through this and other sites but each time when in come to boot i get a message saying in need to reboot and hence i never get it to boot again and i have to re-install. Can anyone advise the best way to update the kexts without causing my system to stop booting? Andy

Hi, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I am a newbie to the Mac OS and I am having difficulty getting it installed on my Dell D630 laptop. I have a Dell D630 laptop which has a hard disk with Vista installed on it. I want to wipe this and purely run it as a Mac. In addiiton l have a new retail SL CD and a 500GB usb drive which i hope to use for any boot procedures i have to do. Please note i do not have any access to a MAC. So far all i have been able to do is install TransMac on a windows 7 PC and convert my 500GB usb drive into a HFS+ volume. I have then also restored my retail disk to this volume. After this i am stuck. How do i use the chameleon bootloader and where exactly do the "extra" packs and "boot" packs need to go to? Any advice much appreciated? Please note i am not familiar with the MAC os file system or .pkg files so any instruction i would appreciate if they were detailed. Andy
