UnTaMaBlE v23 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've been at this for about a dozen hours now, I've tried seemingly hundreds of different kext configs, chameleon versions, installers, but have gotten absolutely no where with retail. (distros are a pain because of my slow internet connection, I've had iATKOS downloading for almost as long as I've been working on this today, and it's still hours from finishing) I get kernel panic almost instantly. I have found little information and support for pre-installation on this laptop. What am missing? Am I making it more difficult than it is? Anybody who successfully installed it on this laptop, I am looking for all the help I can get. Any information that can shed some light on this will be greatly accepted. My Laptop: Dell Latitude D830 Core 2 Duo Intel GMA965 X3100 2 gigs DDR2 RAM Dell Wireless 1395 Thanks in advance, untamablev23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorstensmannen! Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have the same graphics card. With Hazards SL edition, i got kernel panic, but with iAtkos S3 it worked fine. I recommend you to downlaod iAtkos even though you have an slow internet connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Did you chose a modified kernel? Dell CPU always will need a modified kernel. D830 and D630 share almost the same hardware... although mine don't have X3100, i have the nvidia quadro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnTaMaBlE v23 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 I got past the kernel panic, and OSX is installed fine now i used OSXlatitudes usb installer package, but now my problem is the various hardware in the system. currently im having prblems with ethernet, airport, graphics, shutdown/restart, and usb. sometimes all but my ethernet works, others noe of it works, ive tried someones (forgot whose) post-install package for this system, which included a dsdt, graphics worked all the time with it, but usb, shutdown/restart, and sound worked 50% of the time, airport didnt work at all. currently no dsdt, usb works, but black display, (currently running off of vga monitor) strange, as i was typing this, my display went to sleep, and woke up and now my internel display works. what the heck?! @Skorstensmannen! what works post install? i have iatkos (was downloading last night) should i wipe and install it? @dothacker the driver packages i used must have (i didnt see any of the details on the package) sorry if i got kinda long winded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
