Hey, has anyone gotten osx86 going on their XPS 710? I have tried with Kalyway 10.5.1 but it kernel panics on the installer (booting vanilla just reboots and booting with -v brings me to the leopard background and the beachball of death in the corner before freezing up)

 

I'm new to this osx86 thing so if there is another iso I should be trying let me know! I'm willing to try all kinds of crazy install methods and I'm not afraid of the terminal :(

This might still be useful for somebody.

 

I use iATKOS 5i (previously I was using 4i). The only problem I have is that sometimes network stops working if I'm running with all 4 cores enabled. If I start with cpus=1 it works fine.

 

This might be a good start for the options for iATKOS 5i:

 

Press F8 during boot and start with the options: cpus=1 -v

 

-iATKOS 5i Main System

-PCI EFI v9

-AppleDecrypt

-SMBIOS EFI

-9.5.0 Kernel Voodoo

-Stock ACPI modified

-OHR

-Graphics Update

-NVKush

-nForce SATA

 

You will need to download kext for Broadcom 5751 (search google)

 

My system:

XPS 710

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700

4 GB RAM

Broadcom 5751 NetXtreme

nForce 570 SLi

nVidia GeForce 8800GTX 768 MB
