Like: ATI Radeon HD 5450 "Snow Leopard" (Found an issue with no kext for this model after a quick search) Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 "Snow Leopard" (Should work) Etc... Make a checklist and write down any fixes for any possible issues with your hardware if there are any issues/fixes available. Also need tosee which guide is easiest to follow, and that you meet the prerequisites. Best advice is to us hardware which has been tested and has fixes for all issues, but it is possible that some tweaks and fixes could work for you. Be prepared to research research and research before you attempt any OSX install! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmacx Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I have successfully installed OSX 10.6.3 and update to 10.6.7 with everything working QE/CI/CL on Dell Studio XPS 8100. more instruction at the bottom USE RAID mode and you also need to inject AHCIPortinjector.kext into /Extra folder of the installation Disc. in raid mode it's ICH8R for studio xps 8100 and you don't need to modify AHCIPortinjector.kext, it is already added there. I use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] then iAtkos S3 V2 Disc for installation. Without AHCIPortinjector.kext you can successfully go to Installation screen but disc utility will not show/recognize any sata drives. Dont forget to take out ram if your system is more than 4GB. You can insert more Ram after it's successfully installed and boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
