Hi,

perfect install of iAtkos_V5, then upgrade to 10.5.8, so good so far.Then OSx86 tool and select “Repair permissions”, “Set Extensions permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache”.
After reboot only the grey Applescreen, nothing happend.
What is the problem?

HI, to Scott B, have you checked the disk to make sure it is not scrached? That was my problem and it worked, also I have a question for everyone, I install it and it works but gets kernal panics like crazy, I am not sure how to do the flag thing.

I get all the way into the “Installing” screen on my D250 with iATKOS_v7 and then it loads to about 10% of the status bar and then hangs there for a while and then fails. Has anyone else seen this? Same thing happened when I tried iATKOS_v5.

I have a few questions…

it says the netbook can’t sleep. what happens when you close the netbook? does it stay awake?

also what other cheaper WIFI cards work? can you use an external USB wifi card? so you don’t void the warranty?

any other problems with running OSX on the D250?

If I want to reinstall windows on the D250 how do I do this? it has no install disk?

You’ll have to buy a compatible wifi card. The Dell Wireless 1510 802.11n Half Mini-Card is the most commonly bought card for the D250. Replacing it voids warranty as you will need to change the wifi card underneath the keyboard.

Great guide…2 questions? Does this work with the stock wifi card? I keep seeing ppl posting about buying a cheap dell wifi card. (is that what the 3rd panel on the bottom is for ? is that a mini-pci port?)

2nd- any chance you have gotten/ tried to get snow leapord running on this yet?

I just got mine today for $230 with the 6 hour battery. Trying to OSX it before Christmas as its a gift for my wife :)
