A big thanks to all those that helped develop this site. My Dell latitude D830 is now up and running, after two failed attempts (why? - because I was dropped at birth, my excuse and I am sticking to it).
Anyway, I updated to OSX 10.6.8. At the end of the procedure, the laptop ran perfectly without a single hiccup. I am totally impressed as it is working flawlessly and yes, I will be making a donation.
I did have problems getting my head around the procedure as its a bit confusing to a newbie. Plus I may have to update the cpu as 2ghz is a bit underpowered for one of the applications I want to run.
A very brief description: Bios updated to A17
Disabled wifi Ensure Sata control in AHCI mode (couldn’t find “EPET set to 64bit.)
Used myhack to install 10.6.3 had this clash warning come up 1/ AppleTyMCE Driver.kext
2/AppleUpstreamUserCilent.kext
Used a second flash drive to install Extra - when requested.
Then used EDP, this took along time, checked it for 2 hours then left it overnight. At the end I updated to OSX 10.6.8 and hey presto my system worked perfectly. Thanks
