Give us more info. Seen many HP Dv series with success

But... did you;

1 - format? Partition? how many? MBR? GUID?

2 - Does your BIOS let you change AHCI to IDE? Ideally, AHCI shoukd be selected

3 - using vanilla or voodoo? Apples PS/2 or Voodoo PS/2? Voodoo PS/2 + vanilla causes KP and/or other erratic behavior. But is seems you did chose apple's...

I would say it is one of these first two at a glance. Take a look at my tutorial, we have a very similarly spec'ed laptop, same graphic card, which is a royal pain in the but to wake up properly!
