iATKOS i5 on Dell E510

I install this just fine but when it restarts and gets to the apple loading screen it just spins and loads for ever and nothing happens or it reboots. How do I fix it. It is a Dell E510.

Field Note #1 @tommee 2009-04-12

Same here, installed i5 on dual boot with Vista. when it comes to start up Mac OS X it just sits on the apple loading screen.

Field Note #2 @Taisto 2009-04-12

Most likely chipset support error and root device error. Boot with -v and check on what it stops, post the last thing you see here then it might be possible to provide any help.

Field Note #3 @Taisto 2009-04-13

Well you have to obtain those drivers, or at least say what hardware it is exactly. To install them it`s easiest to use Kext Helper app.

Field Note #4 @mitchellkza 2009-04-13

You fail to mention what kernel you installed. Try a different kernel, I have had great results with the FASSL 9.5.0 kernel.

Field Note #5 @thorazine74 2009-07-03

There are no drivers for "Dell E510", only for specific network, sound, graphics chipsets.
If you dont state what hardware that Dell E510 has inside no one will be able to help you find them...
