Hi all. Looking for a little help if possible I'm getting pretty weary, it's been 5 consecutive evenings at this...

 

I've tried the VMWARE install method with little success. The Disk Utility would not correctly partition my drive. It made a strange partition INSIDE the FAT32 partition as opposed to making its own clean HFS+. I tried that several times, and tried a few other things until I finally broke down and built my own custom Extensions.mkext file for my install DVD. I used the IOUSBFamily.kext files and the X200 Southbridge AppleOnBoardATA.kext, and removed any other non-compatible kexts from the cache.

 

This is my machine it is a V2608WM. COmpaq presario with X200 chipset 200G graphics, 60gb disk 512mb ram AMD Sempron 1.8ghz...

 

After I made my custom install dvd which works GREAT good boot time and completely installs an ALMOST bootable OSX install. I went back to WINDOZE and used macdrive to again correct the extensions on the new install then VOILA. Bootable system from a Bootable install DVD very COOL.

 

So this is the issue. If I safe boot I have keyboard and trackpad use. If I do a regular boot I lose trackpad but have keyboard...

 

My brain is turning to jelly after all this packing and unpacking modding and replacing kexts etc... Anyone got some sugestions?
