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? Or is there anything I can do after the iAtkos 5i install?

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
