I was able to use the 10.7 Bootpack Kext to install the Lo-Res (1280x800) and it worked just fine. When you say no acceleration, I'm not seeing any issues with/without it aside from Notifications, which has some glitches when I go to turn it off but that's it. Otherwise, it looks and acts just fine, no real slowness detected in general use. Works fine for me at least considering it's unofficial.

I actually installed ML to my D630 with the Lo-Res Intel Graphics and I used the 10.7 Kext for it. Works pretty good considering. It does have some Video Acceleration, I just need to figure out the sound issue. Have not updated to 10.8.2 yet cause I wanna make sure it's a safe upgrade. Let me find the link I had to a posting here that helped me get it installed. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1643-dell-d630-mountain-lion-install-guide-new/ There you go. Follow that guide and add in the kext from the 10.7 Intel pack. That worked for me at least. Now, to fix the sound issue...

C2D 2.2Ghz, 4Gb Ram, 500GB Momentus XT (hybrid drive), Intel Wireless card, (original was replaced if I remember right, need to take apart and double check), Intel Graphics @ 1280x800. Again, I don't have access to a Mac, and am not planning to Hackintosh my desktop anytime soon, which I have done previously. As for the wireless card, I eliminated that from the equation by turning it off in the BIOS, and was willing to use an external adapter I have for the time being until I got all the other kinks nailed out of it. As for the EDP method, if I had a Mac, it would be my method of choice. I'm wondering if it's possible my disc is bad, I did a test on it and it had some issues reading some of the sectors. If I was to acquire another disc, I know I can convert it to an .iso and apply that to a thumb drive I have as an alternative install method, so I'll probably try that tomorrow/later today, if time permits. Basically, I know I can get it to work, I'm just wondering if I'm not doing something specific like arch=i386 cpus=1 busratio=22 -x -v -f and the what not. I know for my desktop I had to do busratio=22 and cpus=1 to get the installer to start up right. Also, if I put it on a thumb drive, and if possible, add the DSDT into an /Extras folder, without using a program, would it detect that coming from ModCD and load it, thus potentially avoiding the issue? Not a total n00b to this, just having difficulty getting past that KP. If time permits, before I do anything else, I'll upload a shot of it for dissection.

Hi everyone. I have had my Dell Latitude for a few months now, and decided that since I Hackintoshed my desktop, (have since reverted it back to Windows for various reasons) I would make the leap to doing that on my D630. I don't want to Hackintosh my desktop again, if I can avoid it. I grabbed ModCD and a copy of the SL disc from a friend who bought it thinking it would install on an original iMac. I'm getting a very early on KP with the install, even with -X -V -F. I know from previous experience that -X normally gets around the base issue of kexts and such. It's complaining about a kext corrupting the registry. I'm not sure what registry it's referring to, unless it's a memory issue. I know the computer is good, I have another HD I use and this is a test drive to see what I can get it working with before I make it more permanent. Not really looking to go up to Lion, just want SL. I have found a few guides, but none of them say to apply any special parameters on startup or anything, and just want to make sure I'm doing it right or if my disc is shot. (Which if that's the case, I'll just get another one) I'll try to get a picture of the kp's I'm having and see if anyone can help
