Hi oswcab, when things don't work I usually go to http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-10v-mac-os-x-discussion/ for help. Sorry, couldn't be of more help other than pointing you to the mydellmini forums. Hope you can get your hackintosh up and running soon.

I just buy a brand new Mini 10v and followed the tutorial instructions. When I made the installation, the computer hangs and the screen gets smaller. I tried the installation with the -x – flags and the installer begins but when it’s finishing it shows the error: “Install failed. The installer could not start up the computer from the disk …” I’m using a retail Snow Leopard DVD and NetbookMaker 0.8.3. What I’m doing bad?

Just installed 10.6 on my new 10v and had no sound and no sound source listed in System Preferences (although strangely I did get sound with Apple’s 10.6 install welcome video). However running NetbookInstaller (which NetbookBootMaker had put in my Applications folder) with a re-boot fixed it.

Shane, try using the latest NetbookInstaller 0.8.3RC4 to fix the sound problem on your 10v.

Hey KaosCreator. I’m having the same problem with sound that you specify on my 10v. How did you fix it?

I do but with all the helpful ppl and opinions I just thought your page looked so inviting! But you know what I now have from all my research, triple booting MacOSX 10.6.1 SL (retail), Windows 7 Ultimate (RC, buying as soon as available) and Ubuntu 9.04(for now). All working with sound, video, wifi, lan, etc etc.
Alot of thanks goes to you and your input and my re-reading alot of stuff and loosing sleep over it. lol
THANKS AGAIN and keep on posting on your blog love reading it.
By the way I work in the software programming industry with NYSE. So this mini-multi will come in very handy, plus being a tech support guru. THANK!

LOL ok get this…way too wierd or for me to even understand…i think two days straight installing hasnt helped my brain much. LOL
it boots fine without running the NetbookInstaller, i wonder..hmmm why? sound, wifi, etc etc…why do we need to run this? if things boot fine…maybe the issue was that when i run it in regular mode (not safe mode) that is where I have frak’d things up…hmm??
You need a FORUM on this site..or am i blind..heheh

How odd, the procedure for booting into safe mode to do the first time running after install ..NetbookInstaller just crashes after typing password when prompted…and i know it aint the password..ugh
