SnowOSX on Inspiron 1545

[Harlan Haskins]

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Integrated Intel Graphics, 2GB RAM, 2GHz Pentium Dual Core Processor and Ubuntu 9.10.

 

I downloaded and installed SnowOSX 3.5 and placed the correct kexts for my device in /S/L/E.

 

When I boot with GRUB2, I get a kernel panic. I've put in the patched IOATAFamily.kext.

I've used all of the available kexts on SnowOSX.

 

It doesn't boot with a Chameleon boot disk, and it doesn't boot with GRUB2...

             acpi -e /Extra/DSDT.aml

          fi
          if [ -d /Extra/Extensions ]; then
             xnu_kextdir /Extra/Extensions
          fi
          if [ -f /Extra/devtree.txt ]; then
             xnu_devtree /Extra/devtree.txt
          fi
          if [ -f /Extra/splash.jpg ]; then
             insmod jpeg
             xnu_splash /Extra/splash.jpg
          fi
          if [ -f /Extra/splash.png ]; then
             insmod png
             xnu_splash /Extra/splash.png
          fi
          if [ -f /Extra/splash.tga ]; then
             insmod tga
             xnu_splash /Extra/splash.tga
          fi
       fi
}

 

I've installed it with Mac OS Extended (NOT Journaled)

 

When I boot with -v under the Chameleon boot disk, it freezes while loading the mach_kernel.

I don't want to give up on OSX.
