are you installing leopard or tiger? for leopard you gotta do a post-patch to install the bootloader (that is for me using brazilmac's patched dvd, i'm not sure bout ToH's DVD cause i never tried them out.) I would recommend you using pc_efi bootloader, makes your hackintosh run on vanilla kernels & kext smile.gif

i'm installing leopard from brazilmac's dvd..after the installation i proceeded to run the batch file to do the patching needed.. but after that it refuses to boot at all.. hmm.gif

Does it have any expresscard slot ?. Have you tried calling Dell Malaysia. They might have that in stock !. If you have expresscard slot you could go ahead and get one of those broadcom/atheros card

hardly can see any expresscard device being sold here.. hmm.gif

just attempted to hackintosh my PC rig again using this guide here
it managed to boot all the way into the grey screen with the apple logo loading.. however after few seconds it stalled and came out with a dark grey prompt and a power icon telling me to reboot my pc and contact the manufacturer.. rclxub.gif did I missed any pre-requisites ? unsure.gif

Here's my pc specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
2x 2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2
Sapphire ATI Radeon 4850
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P

p/s tried to use EmpireEFI as well.. but it kernel panicked about not finding the AHCI drivers
p/s2 do I need to flash the motherboard bios with the one made by Cartri?

Do you use Chameleon as boot loader? If yes, then might missing some needed kext to boot correctly smile.gif

so I need to boot Chameleon first then use Chameleon to boot into the USB drive where the SL installer is ?
