Hey there,

Sure! Though as far as I know, you need an existing OS X system running already. I am not sure how to inject them in windows, unless you have a Virtual machine running OS X.

But here is the link that I followed, as I already had a tower that had iDeneb already installed, so I was able to do this.

New Update:
I am currently running iDeneb 10.5.7:
Audio: Works
Built-In keyboard: works
USB: works
DVD (read and write): Works
Mounting of dmg, iso's and other files: works.
Graphics: still gotta figure out how to change resolution, but does work! :)
QuickPlay Volume buttons: Works
WiFi : Works out of box! (didn't install a driver for it and it works perfect).
Lan: have not had a chance to check yet.

Well how u got quick play button working ? well nforce ethernet lan works i have checked it, even i want to know how to use those efi strings to get to 1280x800 native resolution. But as i said everything works with the use of IDLEHALT=0 i dont know how to start my leo kitty without the use of this boot command. Just because of idlehalt=0 am worried to experiment on my lappy with leo due to always on fan which generates extreme heat.

Guys is there any option to start leo without idlehalt=0, but when i tried to boot leo without these boot commands it sticks at apple screen logo, do u think an external HDD could help me out

I checked my fan, and it does kick on and off, and no extra heat (other than normal) is generated. since I do use the "idlehalt=0" kernel flag as well.

As for quick play buttons - must be the distro, or kext, or driver that is installed, btw I am using iDeneb 10.5.7

Resolution: still working...getting closer (I modified some kext's this morning, and lo and behold, it played the movie, and talked during first install - the only problem is I could not see the movie, but only hear it, my screen just sat there at the verbose screen, like refresh didn't kick in or something...but, at least I am getting closer, <keeping fingers crossed>

As for an external HDD, don't think that's gonna really change the fan running, since the system will still run off your processor and everything else, except internal HDD. So I am no for sure, but this would be my logical opinion to that type of situation.

nVidia Geforce 7150M a no go, maybe someone will get somewhere or come up with a solution..we can only hope.

normally for the music buttons(on the keypad) its thanks to a PS/2 kext... when I used my USB keyboard i didnt have buttons... but with my PS/2 and a kext, i get multimedia controlls.

If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do to get it to install, and *recommened* be able to see the full size of my partition for the OS please, any help will be appreciated.

Lappy Specs:
Proc: AMD 64 x2 TL-55
Chipset: MCP67 / nForce 560
HDD: 160Gb (SATA)
Video: nForce 7150m
WIFI: Broadcom 4311 8011b/g
Mem: 2.5 Gb
Audio: nForce HDA Audio
CardReader: Rioch (don't really use anyway)

If you need anything else please let me know, I also have the full list of Device ID's for the lappy too.

Thanx in advance if you have any ideas, or tips or strategies.

I have a dv9610us with the same exact chipset. After going through a stack of 100 DVD R's i finally got one to install to and boot from the nforce hdd. It only shows the first 128gb of the hdd at install only but after it is installed and booted it will show full partitions. You will need TransMac (google it) a blank disc (and a burner obviously) Leo4Allv4.1 (Leo4AMD) and the 2nd mkext download link on this page--> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...6&#entry887446
This link also contains the instructions. The audio does work but you have to put the kext for it in AFTER installation. As of now it only supports 1024 X 768 resolution but im working on a fix. Good Luck! http://www.infinitemac.com/images/icons/icon10.png

Hi, I got almost the same spec as above only an ATI Mobility 4530 Video and a Intel WiFi 1000.
For the last 2,5 weeks I'm trying to run OS X 10.6.2 Intel/AMD from Hazerd (with the final patch) on my HP DV 7-2206ed.
I got almost everything working except the CPU :'(
I MUST set in de kernel boot flag cpus=1 or otherwise I get a KP.
The lappy has a InsydeH2O v3.5 BIOS where I can't change ANYTHING :mad: (just time & date).
I found out that when I don't use the cpus=1 the KP is happening at the moment that ACPI: System State (S3) is set.
I tried several distro's, boot flags, DSDT-patches (with a lot of warnings) etc. etc.
Hopefully someone can help me to solve this annoying issue.

CPU:Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T660/2,2 GHz , Level 2 cache 2 MB
