That sounds like the screen described as Kernel Panic = KP. There are various different causes including kext (driver) conflicts and the wrong driver for your graphics card. Your computer comes with at least two different video cards, what video card do you have?

I used the tonymaxosx [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] basic installation guide, what did you use? Then it's also a good idea to find a guide written by somebody who has installed SL on your model of computer, additionally.

Above is one example of such a guide. Especially, you will need a guide if you have the ATI card.

Here is another guide, I read a few before doing my install.

 

Don't expect an easy install like Windows, you will need a geek oriented background.

 

-Install as you do with the original bootloader. If you already installed Chameleon RC4, just open the terminal and copy the boot file in your root directory, e.g.:

$ cd Desktop/ChameleonMR2

$ sudo cp boot /

(And give your password)

 

For some Windows users, typing those commands into a terminal will seem arcane and so they will need to read a library book to get to the point where they can follow instructions. Learning to use Google to do searches to solve computer problems is the single greatest geek asset I know of. .. What kexts are in your /Extra folder, any of these?

 

"After the install was done, I added these kexts to /Extra/Extensions:

 

- AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

- fakesmc.kext

- NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

- OpenHaltRestart.kext

- PlatformUUID.kext

- VoodooPS2Controller.kext

- VoodooPS2.prefPane

- SleepEnabler.kext

- VoodooBattery.kext

 

Not all of these may be necessary." Some of these have changed because it's from an older guide. Good luck.

"Assembly is designed for mounting only on the MSI WIND"

 

The MSI Wind Netbook is a computer and motherboard manufactured by MSI, plus a ~cpu. You

write that you have a Dell Inspiron1545. I don't think that the motherboard/cpu that the Dell 1545

uses is the same as an MSI Wind motherboard and cpu. I think that you should use an install method

that is compatible with your Dell 1545 motherboard/cpu, and that is not the SnowyWindOSX procedure.

"SnowyWindOSX is a Mac OS X Snow Leopard distro originally thought of by InsanelyWind forum user “Mars478″. It is a

very simple method to install Snow Leopard on your MSI Wind without requiring any Terminal work or hacking whatsoever."

 

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html So start over.

This method is widely used and covers a fair amount of different hardware and also

requires using a retail disk. I suggest SL 10.6.3. I think you still may have to refer to

an install guide for your graphics card, but I'm not sure of that. Goodbye and good luck.

Is there any other way like iAtkos or iDeneb??Will it work on mine laptop??Because I dont wanna to buy retail disc I know its not expensive. But I wont use this system that often.)

I don't know, they all have problems, but I'll hazard a guess. I think you should start with 10.6

and upgrade to 10.6.2 or if you can, start with 10.6.2. Because

 

http://deviato.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/de...leopard-10-6-2/

Dell Inspiron 1545 drivers for Snow Leopard 10.6.2

 

This provides kexts and stuff to make your install work. You're going to have a lot of trouble if

you don't use this install guide, because I read lots of reports about things not working right.

I also think you better install this in 64 bit mode. The problem is that this is sort of old and the

links may be broken. So you can use Google, and put in the search window: hackintosh "Dell 1545"

and look for any one successful install. There will be a guide or they will tell you how they did it.

You might not have that many choices. Don't forget a DSDT.aml which deviato 10.6.2 has and

still make the changes in Bios that the tonymacosx guide has screenshots for before you start.
