anthraxius Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi all, I'm new here. Already got Mac OS running on my old Acer.. But I'm thinking about buying a new notebook, and therefore wondering if it's possible to install a distro onto a HP dm3 intel version (sold as HP dm3-1040ez in Switzerland). Here are the specs: Intel Pentium SU4100 (64-bit) Intel GMA 4500MHD SATA HDD 500GB @ 7200rpm 4GB DDR3 RAM Intel 802.11 a/g/n Integrated Bluetooth Does someone know about how HP hardware is supported by the distros (iATKOS for example)? What are you thinking about Intel 802.11 Wifi, will it work (just a bit unsure because I got a damn Atheros or Realtek chip in my computer now...).. Would you recommend another distro? Thanks in advance! (sorry for my english.. still learning..)

letoan Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have a similar setup and I would like to know as well. I tried googling around, found no answer so far.

shadowmite Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm posting this from a DM3 running 10.5.6 at the moment. It's barely working, installed via iDeneb. I have wired ethernet and bluetooth working. Also the webcam. Doesn't detect usb insertion. I'm working toward fixing it up but the settings I used are: ACPI 10.5.6 PS2Fix IDT sound ICHx fix Vanilla kernel battery manager nvdarwin 512 iousbfamily cpus=1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206425-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-on-hp-dm3/#findComment-1401834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthraxius Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 @shadowmite: Nice! Glad to hear that it's basically working. Thanks for settings What about the integrated wireless card? And how long does it take to boot (on my old Acer it takes around 3 minutes... enough to get a coffee xD)? I now ordered the new dm3 model with nVidia GeForce card and realy looking forward to get MacOs running on that system.
