Hello Thanks in advance for any help you offer. I got my USB prepped, booted from it OK, formatted the drive and installed Chameleon, OSX 10.8 onto my internal HDD of my Dell Precision M65. When booting with the -v flag I get the following text before it hangs: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory macx_swapon SUCCESS No interval found for . Using 8000000 Previous Shutdown Cause: 3 ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out DSMOS has arrived [IOBluetoohHCIController][start] -- completed ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized The EDP I am using is from OSX Latitude: http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-ml.zip Which contains the following files ├── DSDT.aml ├── Extensions/ │ ├── AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext │ ├── AppleACPIPlatform.kext │ ├── AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext │ ├── ApplePS2Controller.kext │ ├── FakeSMC.kext │ ├── NullCPUPowerManagement.kext │ ├── Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext │ ├── VoodooTSCSync.kext │ └── lspcidrv.kext ├── Themes/ ├── modules/ │ ├── Keylayout.dylib │ ├── Resolution.dylib │ ├── klibc.dylib │ └── uClibcxx.dylib ├── org.chameleon.Boot.plist └── smbios.plist The machine boots fine from the thumbdrive to the installer, albiet at the wrong resolution. What am I doing wrong, without the -v flag, I get a Grey Screen of Death. I am not a n00b to computers, http://www.hodge.net.au/sam , but I am a n00b to running OSX on non apple hardware and I dont really know OSX that intimately, so I might require a little bit of extra explaination. I have a 2009 iMac at my disposal, keyboards, USB HDDs, monitors. But I was just trying and experiment if it was possible to run OSX on my old laptop. Sam
