just follow the 1st page procedure and it will be fine. did you remove the extra 12gb ram????

I've tried your solution with a number of different boot programs. Nawcom will not load to the Apple installation screen, however, two others will. I believe my BDROM drive is the main cause of my installation problems. Input / output errors abound in both preboot and Apple installation screen.

I will use another computer to install Mac OS X to a USB drive (when it arrives), and then use it with my L701x. I'm hoping that SAM Multimedia issues are not a persistent problem once I'm using it with my Dell...

Hey


Just wondering will the L701X_Files_v3 work with the exact same spec as you have except I've got
the NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M (1024 MB) and the Intel Core i5-560M.

I'll have a go at it later anyways, I just wanted to see if anyone knows if I'm gona have problems


Thanks

I've tried your method above. I was able to install Mac OSX (10.6.0) without any issues until I tried updating to 10.6.6 using the Combo update. The update gets near to the end and then while running the scripts the following kernel panic happens.

I've included a pic.

Monitor : 1600X900
Audio : Realtek ALC665
HD : 500GB Sata
WiFi : Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN (switched to Dell 1510, works OOB)
Ethernet : Gigabit Ethernet Realtek 8168


What work:
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 445M (3072 MB)
- HDMI Video out
- Realtek ALC665
- Gigabit Ethernet Realtek 8168
- 2MP Webcam
- Bluetooth
- Synaptic TrackPad (with 2 finger scrolling)
- Keyboard
- USB Ports (all 2.0 and 3.0)
- Deep Sleep (But No USB2 ports after resume!)


What not work:

- Sata Port (Not Tested, but probably work)
- SDCard Reader (Not Tested)
- HDMI Audio out
- Display Port (Not Tested)
- DVB-T card (Not Tested, but probably not work)

Bench:
GeekBench v2.1.12 result: 5200
XBench 1.3 (Without HD)result: 130



Installation

• Use nawcom Mod CD 0.3.1 and a 10.6.3 DVD or USB image.
  NOTE: if you use like me a Installation from USB, don't use USB3 port.
  NOTE: deselect custom option in OSX installation from nawcom before install.
  Install on the first partition on an MBR or GPT HD.
• After the installation Finish, reboot, and start the partition with nawcom.
• Copy all necessary files on your desktop (USB not work after 10.6.6 installation)
• Install 10.6.6 Combo Update dowloaded From Apple Website
• Reboot and restart your partition with Nawcom.
• Now, install Chameleon, i have used r699 by iReset, Downloaded Here
  Copy Extra Folder from attached file in your root.
  Delete AppleHDA.kext and IOAudioFamily.kext in System/Library/Extensions of your installation partition.
  Copy the files in "System-Lib-Ext" from attached file in System/Library/Extensions
  Run Kext Utility for repair permissions, recreate system cache And Reboot.
• Boot From Your Installed Partition
• Now install tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update, I have used 1.0.1(current).
• Reboot
• Now install Lnx2Mac's RTL81xx Driver
• Reboot

NOTE: If you want DeepSleep, open Terminal and type: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5
NOTE: In the attached files is present a .icc for LG LCD panel Profile from ironnerd(notebookreview.com)
NOTE: Probably this guide works also for L401X and L501X with i7-740QM or i7 840QM CPU.

Future improvement:
- DSDT enhancement (nedd help for USB2 sleep problem)

Changes:
v2:
- DSDT from MaLd0n and Nexos™ in the pack default is the MaLd0n one.
- removed Lan from pack and added to the guide
- most recent FakeSMC and intel kext (tnx MaLd0n)
- other little things
v3:
- Removed VoodooHDA
- New patched DSDT (i patched the MaLd0n) for support ALC665 natively. (TNX vladlenas)
- New AppleHDA.kext and IOAudioFamily.kext. (TNX vladlenas)
- Reverted to 64bit.

But I can't install the combo update 10.6.6 thats the problem.

As I said in my last post, when I run the combo update installation, it crashes just before the end (while "Moving items into place").

Excellent work theSlug, because of this thread I picked up an L701X from Dell outlet - refurb unit - i7, 750gb hd and 4gb ram for a steal of £500 + VAT, added 4gb more ram and a 500gb 7200rpm hybrid hd for main boot drive and the Dell 1510 wifi card. Loving the laptop, and thanks to your guide I have Snow Leopard running perfect 10.6.7, touchpad is smooth with side scrolling and full graphics acceleration. If there was a competition for the best Hackintosh laptop, the L701X must surely be near the top!

Vladlenas Does your ALC665 kext only work with a dsdt? The l702x uses the same audio as the l701 and I cant seem to get it to work. I am pretty new with dsdt editing and I am not sure if it would have to be remapped.

Also do you plan on releasing a non-dsdt version?

I installed a retail leo whit combo upgrade at 10.6.7, I installed some programs and everything work, but everytimes, when on desktop there is an animation (as dock) the system freezes.
May be nvidia driver problem?

I have exactly the same freezes with 10.6.7.
Have not tried with 10.6.6

Hopefully there is an easy fix for this.
