I've been having some troubles trying to install mac osx on my laptop. I and truly hope that you could be able to help me out.
Well, I've tried a lot of different "distros" like iatkos v7, iatkos v5i, leo4allv2, kalyway and unfortunately I cant get past the boot screen (white screen with the mac logo in the center of the screen). With the iatkos v7 I got a "panic" error (sorta) which said "unable to find driver for platform ACPI /apple.com.blablabla (something like that)". I really tried to find some solution on the forums but i couldnt find anything that could help, at least not that I realized so.
Well, which version of mac osx should I use? Am I doing something wrong?
My LapTop:
Core 2 Duo T5550 @1.83
2.0GB DDR2
Chipset Intel Mobile 965 Express
Videocard Intel GMA x3100
PS: Sorry for my poor english (not first language).
Thanks again and peace

I have a similar laptop as yours as you could see from my sig.
I guess you should change your sata setting to "ahci"mode from the bios and see if it loads.
Good luck.;)
