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.

If anyone could help out with any advice I'd be really grateful

  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)

  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

NOTE: If you want DeepSleep, open Terminal and type: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5

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?
