New update:

OS X Server instlalls/run perfect, with exception to NO DVD, Sound, or updates. So far this is the only one I can get running, but what good is an OS if DVD don't work

so I decided to give another head shot to the other distros. Anyone have any info that might be of use, please suggest, willing to try anything!!

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!

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

(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
