Working for the most part...
Hey everyone, I'm new here but have pored through this thread for the last 6 hours and have finally come up with an ALMOST perfect install for myself.
System is obviously a Dell Studio 540, Intel C2Q 2.33GHz, 8GB RAM. Here's what I did:
Disable SpeedStep, make sure SATA operation is "ATA" in BIOS -- IMPORTANT.
Booted iAtkos v7 DVD with arguments: cpus=1 -f -v
Partitioned 1 huge GUID partition, named Leopard.
Had the following packages checked:
--iAtkos V7 Main System
--Chameleon v2
--/Extra directory
--DSDT
--Disabler
--AppleDecrypt
--AppleSMBIOS netkas
--APIC driver
--Intel SATA/IDE
--Realtek R1000
--Post-Install Actions
You'll notice there's no sound of video - ATI Radeon 3450 HD isn't included on the DVD, and since I don't have an NVidia, I can't help ya there. UNCHECK VoodooHDA!!!, you'll get kernel panics randomly.
Install, and in Chameleon on boot of your installed system, use the same parameters, cpus=1 -f -v
You can also try to use cpus=1 -f -v as it sometimes works for me.
If you have a Radeon 3450 like me, your login window app will load but you won't see anything.
BUT IT WORKS! Start up in single mode to install Kexts I guess. (-s)
Can someone point me to a Radeon 3450 HD kext?

Reason: Need to disable SpeedStep in BIOS, clarification.
