Thomas – I found out what the error was. There were 2 x 200 MB partitions that were left over from Windows 7. I reformatted the drive using GParted, and it all works well now. Thanks for your help anyway.

There unfortunately is no way to use the dsdt.aml without Chameleon 2. When following this guide for installing Chameleon, make sure you follow all steps exactly, and that you include an "r" in front of your disk identifier in the second line of code ins sep 5

Thomas – after trying again and failing (this is my 3rd install today), I must note that it worked fine until the hard drive went belly up and I got a new (250GB) one. Now it simply won’t work. I was on 10.5.2, and the dsdt.aml worked fine. Is there any way to use the dsdt.aml WITHOUT updating to chameleon 2.0?

Thomas – I am not going to risk a good install to find out what the code is, but I do remember 4 lines of numbers.

Do you get some sort of error message when you boot, or some other message that may help diagnose the issue?

If you guys don’t care about auto login, just add the app to your auto login items from the downloads folder!

When I try to do the dsdt.aml, and i install chameleon, the system won’t boot. Why?

Shelby- This is quite an old hack and a newer one can be found at http://www.dailyblogged.com/883/adding-a-dsdtaml-to-older-installs/. In the meantime, you can try placing a Dsdt.aml in the root of your OS X partition and see if it boots fine (this is if you have the newest version of Chameleon).

FRauANtje- Virtually any computer can be “hackintoshed.” The only problem is if there will be support for this hardware (which there most likely already is). So short answer, yes.

Though Dell discontinued the Inspiron 1525 there are some new 1525s available with an “nVidia GeForce GB 8600M GT” instead of GMA X3100.

Any ideas, if those Dells can be “hackintoshed”?

Thank you,

Frank

Haha yes this would be a bad time to do so. Download iPC 10.5.6 Universal PPF5 and then use the previously posted options and this will then give you a dsdt.aml

well, i did that, but i couldn’t find any optional bootloaders section. would this be a bad time to say i’m using the ideneb 1.3 dvd?
when i selected my partition, it had an options button below, but was not selectable.
