Get your partitioning straight. OSX86 needs to be on a primary partition of it's own. Use the GParted LiveCD and change the flags to make this partition the boot partition, that way you don't mess up any other boot sectors during the installation. Format the drive to FAT32 (GParted doesn't do HFS+) and label it something memorable (like OSX86). Download the iPC 10.5.6 Final DVD and burn it to a DVD at 1x speed.

Boot from the DVD, my system was able to boot without any command line args. Go to Utilities, Disk Utility. Select your OSX86 drive from the menu on the left and erase it, making sure to reformat it as HFS+.

Customize the installation to include the following items: Base Image iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 (header, don't check it) -Drivers -Chipset Drivers -Intel ICHx SATA Drivers -Wireless Drivers -Broadcom Driver -Fixes and Patches -PS/2 Support -PS/2 Keyboard Fix Here is where I've gotten so far. Here is my hardware: Nvidia FX 3700 (not QE/CL, not max resolution, artifacts when scrolling) Attempted Fixes so far: NVKush Installer (caused black screen without cursor Broadcom 57xx NIC (untested at this point) Broadcom Wireless (working with built-in iPC kext) Any pointers for getting this stuff working would be much appreciated! OK So trying to get my internal keyboard/touchpad working I added something that the system didn't like.

Took me too long to get back to it and forgot what exactly I installed so I'll be starting over. Luckily I hadn't done much to it. Anyone got any good pointers for working on internal keyboard / touchpad? Try these 10.5.5 drivers and preference pane instead: (to get the Trackpad Preference Panel). Hope these work for you. They did the trick for me.

The only things I haven't managed to get fully working are: - QE for the NVidia FX3700 - Bluetooth - PCMCIA - Shutdown doesn't completely turn the laptop off Any hints on getting these to work? Try these 10.5.5 drivers and preference pane instead: (to get the Trackpad Preference Panel). Hope these work for you.

What did you do to get full resolution video? I was about to look up the chun-nan PCMCIA kext and see if that worked, though PCMCIA is on the bottom of my list.

Typically with nvidia once you get a kext to drive it, you can't shut down completely, you have to shut down, then hit the power button. I used an EFI string loaded into com.apple.boot.plist using OSX86Tools. To get the EFI string I used NiBiTor in Windows to generate a backup ROM file, which I then converted using gfxutil with a modified in.plist. You should be able to find a guide on how to do this quite easily. Also, I used OSX86Tools to enable QuartzGL, although I understand that apps that use that can enable that on their own anyway. Yes, it seems that once you get the nVidia card to be recognized (even using EFI strings like I did instead of a kext) shutdown and restart don't work properly. Please share any other hints or tweaks you might come across here.

NiBiTor doesn't work on Vista x64. I used an EFI string loaded into com.apple.boot.plist using OSX86Tools.

Here's my EFI string: cd0001007fff2c0d656e73 f7041004d0f6c7a0072006c010d00730069006f007 004f72006e 0000c50616 5f0469100000006d0500 c00013c0065006c0c2c006 000c676f2c 063006f00412c73656e736f722d706 7a000065006c00010f000000000e000 0c4e50002c0d1200412c 4692d40000d00700069006f000c2d6c0 31002c0d1200406c000f00000c4e564 0072006f006d0f0000000 0e0000000000.

Great idea to make this tutorial, thanks to all. Hi, I recently buy my M6400 whit the default conf. 'quadrofx 2700m, 2gb ram, and 2.2ghz core 2 duo' and i wanna get the osx in my machine.

Before i have the inspiron 1720 and work osx with no problem. So i just finish download iPCosx86 10.5.6 and burn in dvd to 1x.

Can you put a screenshot of the main configuration before install to see wich items i have to select. Im still noob on this. Thanks and sorry if my english is bad. Is not my native language. Great idea to make this tutorial, thanks to all.

(sorry my formatting of text hasnt quite come out like I envisioned (: ) Hey guys, I thought Id post a semi-more detailed post with regards to where I am with my installation on my Dell M6400 DELL M6400 Covet Chipset Intel Q43 Express 2x 500gig SATA HDD Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M 16gig MEMORY/RAM IDT 92HDxxx HD Audio Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN Broadcom 57xx NIC Synaptic Jog Shuttle Creative Labs Integrated Webcam Dell Precision M6400 Step 1. Firstly sort out partitioning before running the OSX Install DVD. OSX86 needs to be on a primary partition of its own. Format the drive to FAT32. Download the iPC 10.5.6 Final DVD and burn it to a DVD at 1x speed. Boot from the DVD, one shouldn't need to boot with any command line arguments Step 2. Once fully booted into the installation section of the DVD go to Utilities-Disk Utility Select the OSX86 drive from the menu that you previously formatted.

Erase the disk with format MAC OSX Journaled (HFS+) Once done exit the Disk Utility program and proceed to install Step 3. Once the install completes, the machine will reboot.

Before booting into the newly installed OS, press ' F8' on the boot option, and add the following arguments, ' -v –f ' (without quotes) -f will ensure all newly installed extensions are active/used OSx86 should boot up now for the first time, proceed through the registration process (Surprised my intergrated webcam works off the fly). The first thing I did was fix the graphics display for my nVidia FX3700M graphics card. Use OSX86 Tools for this (Make sure you copy the OSXTools binary to /Applications/OSXTools had issues with the default install location and EXE name). Tip: You will create a custom GFX Geforce string for the nVidia FX3700M 1024mb Use the following youtube tutorial to get this to work.

SOME GREAT NEWS FOR M6400 USERS, I HAVE FINALY GOTTEN THE BROADCOM NIC WORKING. Make sure your dev id is 14e4 1680. Install attached kext with osx86 tools or whatever way you like and reboot. You should now have the ethernet recognized but no internet and a MAC address of all 00's. In windows look up your MAC address and copy it somewhere.

In leopard open a terminal and type: sudo ifconfig en0 (it maybe en1 or en2 or en etc.) ether 00:21:70:8A:70:E2 but replace 00:21:70:8A:70:E2 with your MAC address 6. Your internet should now connect and be fully working. You will need to do the command at every startup so just make a script and add it to startup items I'm currently working on getting it to work in snow leopard and want to know if anyone has the sources for either bcm57xx kexts, that would be most helpful. If you'd like to help out in the snow leo effort just let me know. SOME GREAT NEWS FOR M6400 USERS, I HAVE FINALY GOTTEN THE BROADCOM NIC WORKING. Make sure your dev id is 14e4 1680.

If you'd like to help out in the snow leo effort just let me know. Can you tell me which distribution you used and what drivers you selected? Also how do you enable graphics with chameleon 2? I have the fx2700, would it work anyway? I have tried ideneb 10.5.7 with nvkush and chameleon 2 but it hangs at startup and don't understand where the problem is.

Thanks i used iatkos v7 and just selected voodoohda, nvkush, chameleon 2, ichx driver, dsdt, disabler, apple ps2, make sure your sata is in AHCI in the bios. If it hangs take a pic and ill take a look.

If it loads first thing you should do is after setting up your account install chameleon v2 rc2 during install click customize and chek the GraphicsEnabler option, befor restarting remove nvkush.

I have finally my osx working on my m6400, with full QE/CI and resolution, audio is working, lan is working thanks to ujen instructions. For the graphics i simply chose nvkush during installation and it's working.

Now i'd like to have wifi, but can live with lan only for a while. Also it would be nice to have a full support for the touchpad, like dragging on the right side to scroll pages as i do in windows. Anyway thank you all guys.

How did you get the wired ethernet (14e4 1680) to work? I can't seem to get the correct kext to recognize the nic.
