well i am now posting from my dell latop running mac os x 10.5.2
very sweet, so much faster than my old G4 powerbook.
only problem's i had, was during the install i had to continually move my pointer about or it would just stop, till it moved it again (no idea why)
and also the dredded "HFS+ partition error" which has cause many people problems (this is caused by having vista on the drive)
I found the following solution incase anyone else has the problem
Code:
This guide is for restoring our nice, working hackintosh's darwin bootloader.
Basically, Vista RTM foobars our working MBR's bootloader and you get "HFS+ partition error".
In following, I will assume we have one HDD with two partitions: part#1 = OSX and part#2 = Vista
1. Boot off OSX dvd disc in single user mode (press F8 and type -s)
2. At single user prompt
fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
update
write
quit
4 reboot
At this point OSX should boot up, just like prior to Vista installation.
1 In a terminal window,
su root
fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 2
quit
2 reboot
Vista will say "Windowsystem32winload" corrupted, and it will tell you to insert Vista disc and recover.
Follow directions from Vista and recover, then reboot. Check Vista boots and works fine.
1. Boot off OSX dvd disc for single user one last time (press F8 and type -s)
2. At single user prompt
fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
quit
3. reboot
You will discover that Vista recovered and left MBR's darwin bootloader intact
off to grab some up to date mac programs
only thing that not working is the sound, so i'll see what patchs are about for that.
