Anyway. I'll be working on a spec list of my laptop, with kext installs that I've done to get things working. Graphics driver installed (kext) was my first victory. If I can get he wireless to work, I would be a happy camper.
Anyway, I'll post the specs of my system so hopefully it will help others too.

More details to come.

Welcome to InfiniteMac and enjoy your stay here!
It was a bumpy road then trying to get it running. It's cool you finally made it. I hope soon you'll be on Snow Leopard.
resource list
Hi, I have the same laptop and would like to use osx on it.
could you please list the resources you used to get it working?
I have a USB install (prepped for a netbook) that will run and install to it fine, but i get a kernel panic when i try to boot it.
