Did you change your bios settings to match mine?

Yeah just create a bootable dos usb. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/46707-ms-dos-bootable-flash-drive-create.html

This is odd. I know powerpack gives me a kernal panic from both USB and HD (and then I must install fresh) so I'm using apple PM as well. Have all your KP from HD been related to power management? I do get random kp at boot but I just shut it off and then reboot and it works fine. You also get KP from apple power management? If I had to guess there's something wrong happening when you apply the edptool options. I'm going to list my steps below. Do a fresh install. Once in OS X install the bootloader. Once bootloader is installed delete the extra folder it created in the root drive. Copy the extra folder from the edptool 1.6 to the root of the HD. Run edptool. sudo su - password cd /Extra ./edptool.command - here is what you should see. Submenu - 1 (kext configuration) Scroll up and you'll see D420/430 - choose that - 0 ps2 controller - 1 (for the time being - voodoo sometimes causes KP so just being cautious) power pack driver - no - n pcmcia driver - no - n once finished type exit and close terminal. restart. hopefully it works. You have the same d430 as leon and myself. 1.33ghz and 2gb. not sure why your computer is acting up. I know these steps are well documented but there is a disconnect with the HD and USB. USB works but HD doesn't and the only difference is the edptool is being used on the HD.

For sleep have you followed the terminal commands and also run the edptool to disable hibernation? Edptool - option 2 and then option 2. I also did the touch S/L/E, and fix console slow start (options 1 and 3). http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/c1196/Getting_sleep_to_work_on_your_Dell_Latitude_with_OSX.html http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/900e4/How_to_do_a_new_build.html (remember to type in sudo su 1st and then enter your password). edit: okay went and looked at your bios settings. A few differences mostly because I don't have the modem or Bluetooth. These are how the settings are on mine. Everything else is the same except for what's listed below. Integrated NEC – enabled (no pxe) Internal modem – off Parallel port – off Serial port – off Pcard and 1394 – off Primary video – onboard video Password change – denied Usb wake support – off Bluetooth – off Internal cellular – off Wireless switch - WIFI only Set them like this and if it works fine then change them 1 by 1 and see where the problem is?

I haven't encountered that problem but sometimes I do have to tap 2 or 3 times for it to register. Doesn't happen much though. Which trackpad driver are you using? Voodoops2 or appleps2?

Here are most of the zif drives. Give reviews and benchmarks. http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardware-components-aftermarket-upgrades/531052-1-8-zif-pata-ssds-available.html I have this one. http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000E07-1278969740 (32gb) There is also a newer one w/out trim and a different controller for $10 less.Slower 4k performance You also get a nice zif usb enclosure for your old drive.

I did get my motherboard replaced under warranty and it seems to be different from the previous one. There are no screws for the minipcie wireless card but rather clips. Not sure what else is different. How do we find out which motherboard version we have? Are you running bios a09? Running the rc5 v2.0 r665 bootloader on 10.6.6. Good stuff guys.

Wow. Massive massive improvement since leppys install. Everything is working flawlessly except for the slow touchpad. I'm liking the scroll to much to mess with it right now though. I did have a couple of kernal panics. 1. edptool - selected yes for powerpack and this resulted in a kernal panic (sleep enabler) after restarting. Tried the pbVersion=21 and still no go. Wouldn't even boot up with an external usb drive so had to do a fresh install. 2. Second time I selected no for powerpack and yes for voodoops2 and got a kernal panic for voodoo. Booted up using usb and changed it to appleps2. No KP. Changed it again to voodoops2 and this time no KP. Sometimes upon wake my mouse goes crazy and I need to shut down and restart. 3. Also have KP opening activity monitor. In no way am I complaining regarding the above. I just wanted to let others know what works and what doesn't for me so maybe they can avoid some kps. My final edptool config is no powerpack, voodoops2 and no for pmcia. Working flawlessly. My sleep works by just closing the lid. d430 @ 1.33ghz 2gb ram. renice 32gb ssd ($120 on ebay - must buy). VERY NICE! The only difference between this and my macbook pro 13 is the trackpad and speed. Oh yeah this is $800 cheaper!!! Great job guys.
