Greetings OSx86 brain trust!

 

I have a Gateway M275 tablet PC that I have been trying to get OS X running on for a few days. I have a Centrino 1.5 / 1.5 GB / 80 GB HDD. I have tried several distributions of OSx86 but I have not been able to get it done. I have read several post on forums about people who have been successful in getting OS X running on the M275 but I can not seem to find any info on how they have done it. I have gotten through an install with IPC 10.5.6 Universal but when it tries to boot it hangs at the gray apple endlessly. If I do a diagnostic boot I see that it stops at

 

"MAC framework successfully initialized

using 7864 buffer headers"

 

I have also tried iDeneb but it reboots part way though the install.

 

I would love to get this working and I have tried everything that i can seem to find on tablets and the M275, even the paper-clip/external monitor fix but none have worked.

 

If someone could give me some guidance on what I may been doing wrong I would be most grateful! Thank you in advance for the assistance and for all the work that has made it possible for me to even think about installing OS X on non-apple hardware that I have never been able to afford before.
