How do I install mac os x leopard or snow leopard on a pc with:

 

Dell Inspiron E1405. Windows 7. 120GB HDD. Intel Core Duo. Mobile Intel 945GM GPC.

 

I tried installing with Boot 132 and then Retail Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.6. But the screen turns black after the Apple logo...the install window doesnt even come up...:-(

 

It must be the 945GM graphics card...this {censored} suckss:)

Plug an external monitor into the VGA port.

 

For me the 945GM chipset never works with a laptop screen without the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

I have the same experience, and i solved this problem by fixing DSDT.aml file.

 

Using the Chameleon RC5 booter.

and generate the DSDT.aml for your notebook.

 

I will describe simply how to get the DSDT.aml for your notebook.

 

First generate the DSDT.aml using Ubuntu CD (Linux) as followings.

after booting up with Ubuntu CD.

open terminal.

type

cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.aml

 

and then using DSDT Patcher on Windows or Apple.

iasl -d dsdt.aml

after that you will get dsdt.dsl file.

 

then re-convert to dsdt.aml as followings.

iasl -tc dsdt.dsl

 

if you got some errors fix it.

 

open dsdt.dsl with any text editor.

find "Device(LCD)" or "Device(TV)" in dsdt.dsl file.

look the parent node of "Device(IGD)" or "Device(VGA").

add the following "Method(_DSM...)"

 

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

{

Store (Package (0x06)

{

"AAPL,HasPanel",

Buffer (One)

{

0x01

},

 

"model",

Buffer (0x08)

{

"GMA 950"

},

 

"built-in",

Buffer (One)

{

0x01

}

}, Local0)

DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

Return (Local0)

}

 

and if your top node is "Device(IGD)" then replace all IGD strings to VGA in DSDT.dsl,

then convert it to dsdt.aml by

iasl -tc dsdt.dsl

 

and copy the fixed dsdt.aml to the /Extra folder.
