Warning, before start I highly recommand to save all your data !!

1. BIOS

You must disable multi-core for CPU in the Performance option.
Due to DELL BIOS restriction, we can't use both core (HPET is no supported)
(After install if you put "boot with cpus=1", you can enable it to use with windows)

2. Hard Disk Preparation

In this guide we suppose we have blank hard disk, personnaly i used Kalyway installation.
Remember with kalyway your partition's name must not contain blank or specials characters, if you don't respect this rule OS X will never boot.

2.1 Single boot OSX

- Boot on your OSX86 10.5.2 Kaliway DVD installation
- After choose your language go to Disk Utility application
- Define your partitions with file system and in options choose MBR

2.2 Dual boot OSX/Vista

In this case, I use the Darwin Bootloader to choose OS.
It will be easy to manage partitions with Hiren Boot CD or GParted

- Boot on your OSX86 10.5.2 Kaliway DVD installation
- After choose your language go to Disk Utility application
- Define your partitions with file system and in options choose MBR

Partition1 for OSX, name = "Macintosh", fs = "osx"
Partition2 for Vista, name = "Windows", fs = "fat"

- Apply then reboot your computer on Vista Installation DVD
- Install Windows Vista on partition2, don't forget to format in NTFS
- Reboot on your OSX86 10.5.2 Kaliway Installation DVD
- Install OSX following step 3, then reboot and with any partition tool set partition2 as active
- Reboot on Vista DVD and choose Repair, reboot and test Vista
- Reboot and set partition1 as active with partition tool
- Reboot and now you are able to launch OSX or Vista

3. OS X Installation

- Choose the disk where you want to install Mac OS
- In options choose :

- Fonts
- Kernel
- Graphics_Drivers
-- Nvidia_GeForce
--- NVinjectGO-512 (Choose the one for your configuration)
- Audio_Drivers
-- sigmatel_9200_inspiron_9400
- Networks_Drivers
--NONE
- Mobo_Chipset
--NONE
- Thirds Applications
--MAKE YOUR CHOICE !
- Patches
-- Hardcoded_SMBIOS
--- Lastnetkassmbios
-- Boot_with_cpus=1_flag
-- Francais_pc_keyboard_layout (for french people)

4. Sound

Sound working but some functions missing (no mute, headphones work but we can hear speakers).
For more information go to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32859

With Kalyway 10.5.2, sound works out of the box, you just need to choose in
System Preferences, Sound, Output : Stereo Master Output

If you want to configure manually, you need 2 files :

AppleHDAPatcherv1.20.zip
Sigmatel9200.txt

- Extract the application from archive
- Drag and drop Sigmatel9200.txt to AppleHDAPatcher application
- Wait for the end of processus and reboot

5. Video

Video must work out of the box with Kalyway 10.5.2 installation DVD

My graphic card is a GeForce 7950 GTX 512 Mb. Method must be similar for others.
Have a look on http://nvinject.free.fr/ for more informations.
Mac OS detect only 256 Mb, thanks to NVinject team, now we don't need to flash card for solve this problem.

You need :

NVinjectGo.0.2.0b_512Mb.zip

- Extract the kext from archive
- Lauch Kext Helper
- Drag and drop "NVinjectGo.kext" in Kext Helper
- Type your paswword and press Easy Install
- Reboot

A the end of this guide, I upload my files for Geforce 7950 GTX, one for 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 or 10.5.4

6. Network

There is actually no method to obtain intregrated network (Broadcom 57xx, intel 3949) to work.
But you can help people from this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=84072 to make 3949 working !

If else you can buy another wifi card or usb network adapter, search in the forum to find a compatible model.

7. Customization

7.1 Fix CPU to one core

Not necessary if you check "Boot_with_cpus=1_flag"

To fix this issue without disabling multi-core within the BIOS, load up
Terminal (Applications/Utilities/) from within OS X, then type:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

edit the Kernel Flags accordingly:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>cpus=1</string>

This will force your Mac installation to utilize only one core of the CPU without having to disable Multi-core in the BIOS.


8. Conclusion

There is a lot of options in Kalyway 10.5.2, i could missed something important.

You want to correct my english (i'm french), there is no offense.
If I wrote something wrong, you want to update this thread (for your graphic card for example)
or if I don't respect forum rules, just PM me !

Many Thanks to Kaly, Taruga, NVinject Team, devilhood for his Dell Inspiron Guide
and all the OSX86/Insanelymac Communauty for help and advice
