Installing Mac OS X L2 on Dell Latitude D830 – the system freezes

[ghaliloo]

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for the efforts you deploy by bringing the Mac OS X experience to Intel based PCs.

 

I spent last weekend trying to install Mac OS X Lion on Dell Latitude D830 and it always freezes when arriving to the [Custom/install] interface, all things go well but suddenly the mouse, trackpad freezes and the Keyboard too, here is the different combinations I tried:

 

In the BIOS :

 

SATA = AHCI

 

Enabling all core 2 Duo futures.

 

Virtualizalion : Enabled

 

....

 

...

 

..

 

I disabled all things related to Wireless and Bluetooth, because it doesn't let the installer to boot.

 

 When the system boots from the DVD, I hit F8 here I tried hundred of combinations:

 

-v -x USBBusFix=Yes -f -F graphicsEnabler=No/Yes UseKernelCache=Yes/No ...

 

 

 

and the only ones that goes to the graphical interface are:

 

-v

 

npci=0x3000 USBBusFix=Yes UseKernelCache=No cpus=2 -v

 

with this last I can reach the install interface and chose Language, create HFS+ partition, and if I don't do it quickly  (and have to move mouse pointer continuously) the system freezes at all suddenly, then I have to reboot 

 

I have to mention that I read a lot of topics before to post this thread, and none of them resolved my issue.

 

 

Here is my Laptop configuration
