I want to install Mac OS X on a Dell Inspiron 1420.
I have installed it successfully with iAtkos v5i, but I can't get Wi-Fi or Ethernet to work on it.
Also, it takes like 15 minutes to boot. (After the Apple boot logo, it stays in a black screen for about 15 minutes, then finally the screen comes up.
I have tried installing Mac OS X with iPC, but gives me a kernel panic error.
Any distros that works great with the Dell Inspiron 1420?
My specifications are:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750
Intel GM965
Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME)
DDR2 Dual Channel 3072MB
Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family
Sigmatel HD Audio
Broadcom NetLink Fast Ethernet
Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN

i used iatkos v7, (took SEVERAL attempts!) but finally got it to work mostly…
can't use time machine.. haven't looked into fixing this yet..
webcam is spotty, and seldom works...
and no audio! i have searched all over the web and tried numerous things to get the audio to work, but no success!
