Thanks! Good to know but that should really be updated as it specifically points me to use the edptool...

So I tried to install using the DSDT and included files but I kept getting either kernel panic on the acpi powerkexts or it would stall with other errors involving ACPI. Basically what I have done now is reinstalled with the disc I had mentioned earlier and installed a vanilla 10.6.3 which OOB works perfect on everything... If anyone has any other ideas to try I can make a timemachine backup and give them a whirl for getting 10.6.6 working. Thanks! -Z

I am unzipping it under osx 10.6.6 and am sure its the downloaded folder...

Thanks for the response but thats the problem, I have taken a stable version and not a beta and cant find the file within the /Extra folder that is zipped in any of the releases... http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/a92b0/EDP_History_and_Changelog.html Is there a chance that you could possible post the contents of this script so that I can build my own and include it? Thanks! -z

Hey Guys, So I have decided to step through the install process again for edp but I am tripping over something really dumb. So in following the directions I have a vanilla install of 10.6.3. I have downloaded RC5 r665 bootloader and installed. I have downloaded the newest "Extra.zip" folder and have replaced my /Extra directory with it. But I can find no trace of edptool.command within that folder. I have attempted to download other versions posted by Leon but everytime I try to from the posts while logged in I get an error message saying I am not allowed... Anyone have any ideas on this one? -z

Hey Bronx, No I have not. Since I haven't found a machine yet that was fully supported I have yet to use DSDTs so I might nee to readup on how to patch one from another model.

UPDATE: I have been able to successfully get my install updated to 10.6.6 and with configuring com.apple.Boot.plist with GraphicsEnabler=No I am able to boot with everything working except graphics acceleration. At this point I am going to take a snapshot with time machine since this is a mostly usable state (except kernel panic on fullscreen video)... So now the question is does anyone have ideas on getting gma950 working? I have already tried a couple of different versions off of kexts.com with no success. I have been running pfix after every kext change as well and verified that root:wheel owns the proper files. -Z

Hey Guys, So I have had some experience installing OSX in the past on dell gear (like optiplex 760) and a couple of other non dell systems so I decided to give a try with a D820 that I have laying around. I have been using the guide :http://www.r2x2.com/users/lsb/weblog/1b8db/ and have used my storebought 10.6.3 install disc. Everything works great for the most part after the install however if I attempt to get opengl working, flush kextcache or perform an osx update to anything above the version installed I get the black screen of death and / or loss of wireless connectivity. I have done some research and came across :http://osx86blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/intel-gmax3100-and-gma950-sleep-display.html I have performed the steps mentioned here to no avail (my system doesnt appear to be accepting arch=i386 either as once its booted I can use an external monitor to login and see that all the of the apps running are 64bit. Anyone have any ideas on what I can try next? I believe I have this machine pretty well completed but I just need to figure out what is necessary to get it stable with the kexts / updates loading correctly. Any suggestions are welcome! -z Forgot to mention I am running A10 (latest bios revision)

Hey Guys. I also have a D820 running A06 bios revision and have followed the following guide to get 10.6.3 installed on it : http://www.r2x2.com/users/lsb/weblog/1b8db/ Everything works great OOB and after running post install I can boot from the drive natively no problemo as well. My problem comes after attempting to running the comboupdate 10.6.6. The machine then fails to recognize the wireless and after the second reboot the screen goes black as well. I have tried running the post install again after installing the update but before the reboot to no avail. I have also backed up the /extra/extensions kexts along with the standard extensions directory extras as well and then ran pfix before reboot with the same issues again... Anyone have any ideas? Should I possibly look at using a DSDT instead and if so can you suggest a good one? Thanks!! -z
