Thank you for sharing your guide.

 

I finally got my hp nx7400 running (except wifi). I occasionally got crashes.

 

I startet with iDeneb 1.4 - 10.5.6.

 

-Graphics worked with the Patch from Installation (Intel 950 GM).

-Ethernet works with the Patch "AppleBC440X" in the installation.

-For Audio the package AppleAzaliaAudioADI1981 was required.

-The Wireless package from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ didn't work for me (it just added another ethernet device instead).

 

 

It took me about 16 hours to get so far... let me know if you have any success with wifi, or need any help.
