Thread: [HOW TO] Install 10.6 Snow Leopard on Dell Inspiron 1545

First off this is like a 95% - 99% complete HackBook, Netflix and Youtube are still borked!
Mods please sticky or pin this, thanks.

My first tutorial for installing OS X so bare with me, I will be short and sweet and as simple as possible.

I do not recommend updating past 10.6.3 at the moment, software should be fine, I updated iLife and remote assistance.

My Specs
IDT HD Audio
Intel x4500MHD
Intel Core2Duo (Replaced Stock Core2Duo for VT-X Support) Not Required
4Gb Ram
320Gb HDD (Replaced Bad Stock 500Gb)
Dell Wireless 1397 (Broadcom 4312)
Model year 2009

Instructions
Create your myHack 10.6 pen using 3.1.2 (Included).

Copy Custom folder to your myHack pen, run myHack>myFix and select the myHack pen installer.

Reboot and install 10.6

When prompted select custom Extra folder and navigate to the Custom folder and select Extra.

Remove problematic kexts when prompted, should be only two.

Once you have rebooted all should be well, copy Resolution fix or contents to Desktop and follow the README file included.

Quartz Debug included, but does not seem to help with Netflix or Youtube issues, on previous install Netflix at the very least showed the media bar at the bottom of the screen.

Also maybe forgot to mention, I have copied all files in my /Extra/Extensions folder to /System/Library/Extensions after deleting the original files from S/L/E.

Cheers.

This is my first, so please respond with any issues you have and maybe I or we could find a solution, everything here is combined from all over the web, mostly here on OSx86.net for kext files.

Updates

I think updating airport utility causes an issue, so avoiding that and trying the 10.6.8 combo update, will report back if it works and does not have issues with booting or wifi like last time.

Kernel Panic, -v and -v arch=i386 no effect.

Updating to 10.6.3 with the 10.6.3 combo update worked smoothly, just run myHack and remove problematic extensions before the first boot after updating.

Updating to 10.6.7 from 10.6.3 with the 10.6.7 combo update worked smoothly after replacing SleepEnabler.kext.

replace SleepEnabler.kext with this version below

run myHack, myFix and install the update, reboot and boot from myHack and remove problematic extensions before the first boot after updating.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Please note that Conti (myHack) does not allow his work to be re-distributed.
Lets respect his wish and remove myHack from your upload.
Its not a big thing to download from his site anyway.

myHack removed.
