I've almost done it! but I've got some little things to adjust before I can say I have a true OSX86!
I installed EmpireEFI+SnowLeopard 10.6.2 and it works like a charm with this patches:
- EFI string for nVidia Geforce Go 7300
- Replaced Intel 3495ABG with BCM4321 and now it works as Airport natively
- Installed a modified version of ApplePS2Controller.kext so I can use the < key in my integrated keyboard
- Battery support with VoodooBattery.kext
Here are the three issues left:
- ALC861 working natively with volume control and headphones, but, if somethig comes out from the speakers, and it has been silent for more than 30seconds, i get a kind of POP! at the beginning of the sound (it's like it's being activated)
- Toshiba bluetooth is working out-of-the-box, but only if I am restarting from Windows 7, I guess it activates it or something...
- The cpu fan seems to keep running at the same speed it is running at boot. If the pc is cold at boot, it keeps running slow, and the cpu+gpu can get VERY hot. I installed VoodooPowerMini.kext, and I gotta say I didn't watch it running faster, but maybe it's not getting that hot...Is there any way of getting it work like in windows? (the fan adapts its speed to the cpu/gpu usage)
to everyone, it'd been impossible to reach this point without your help.

any distro will be right for you man, you just choose your external drive as destination, and you can partition it as GUID! (this is the way I have it running right now)
I specially recommend iatkos 10.5.8 or EmpireEfi + Retail Snow DVD

I already tried Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 Intel AMD made by Hazard
But during installation boot after givin -v ( i tried many options )

all this because of graphics card i guess
