Dell Latitude D830
Video: Intel
Wireless: Intel (Looking into BC)
EDP: 1.9.2
These were the steps I took when installing.
I installed 10.6.0 with out a boot pack. I was able to get into the installer with '-v -x'. I performed the install and and rebooted. I used the 10.6.0 installer to boot me into the newly installed os, and once again was able to boot in with '-v -x'. I performed this install 6 times trying six different install steps and tips. Each time after installed the EDP I get kernel errors instantly. I install the d830 Intel pack "10" and say yes to everything , choose apple as the touch pad. I get the bootloader installed and reboot.
At this point I get kernel panics I realize I stupidly left SATA to AHA and promptly changed it to ACHA. I then read a few recommendations of setting bios back to default and only changing the SATA settings. I do this and I am unable to get past a kernel panic with the internal NIC or WiFi enabled with in the bios. I disable those and I can boot finally. The only problem is the screen looks like a ribbon is bad, but obviously I know it's not because the first time this happened I tossed a Linux distro on the laptop and the graphics card checked out just fine. The display is a white screen with black lines of different size and the white will sometimes change to purple haze and a few other colors. If needed I can take pictures.
Any thoughts or ideas?
*Side note when I tried to put the boot pack into the Extra folder of my boot disk to do the install it wouldn't even boot anymore received multiple errors.
