Assuming your starting from
the very beginning...
* You MUST set single core mode
in bios! *
1. Acquire Kalyway Leo 10.5.1
Intel Install Image.
2. Acquire Kalyway 10.5.2
Combo Update
3. Install the 10.5.1 Intel Image
(just as you would any other
OS.)
4. When it boots up and asks for
configuration options open up
disk utility and set your
partitions correctly (If your
sharing the drive with windows
just make a new partition, if
your using a new disk format
however you wish).
5. Continue through the
installation until you see the
screen with the install 'Install'
button. Click 'Customize' in the
lower left hand corner. Make
sure EFI is selected for MBR (if
your sharing the drive with a
windows partition) or GUID (If
its a new disk you just
formated). No other options
need to be installed.
6. When the installer finishes
you can now boot into a
working leopard 10.5.1! The
only problem is sound wont be
working!
7. Use the sound file found on
the first page of this thread
( attachment: d620_sounds ).
Download that file and
uncompress it. Drag the
included .txt file onto the
HDAPatcher included and let it
do its thing. Reboot when its
done.
8. Now sound works too!
Woohoo! Lets update the install
now!
9. Run the 10.5.2 Combo Update
file you acquired earlier. Let it do
its thing and restart when
required. The computer will
restart and fail to boot properly.
This is OK! The next time it
boots it should work perfectly.
You know have 10.5.2 installed!
Now lets finish off a few things
(getting speedstep working,
battery icon showing, etc...)
10. Download the pack i have
attached below. It is based off
of another pack rumaging
around the net, but i included all
of my own personal files and
such for my own D620, so they
should work just right for you!

WONDERFUL PACK IS PAID TO
http://
minsong79.tistory.com/10
. I have Modified it for the D620
specifically, but original pack
was found there! ***
11. Follow the instructions
included in the zip file below,
using the files included below
12. Congratulations, you now
have a fully working, fully
upgraded D620 running
Leopard!
BUT WAIT, THERES POTENTIALLY
MORE!
You can feel free to get
software updates from the built
in apple software updated,
however if you install the
'Leopard Graphics Pack' that it
tells you you should your
computer will no longer boot
correctly! Uh oh! You have two
choices here now.
1. Dont Download it.
2. Download it and MAKE IT
WORK!
Ill assume your an adventurous
guy (hey, i hope you are ) and
want to do the second option.
No problem, but some more
steps are needed....
1. Backup your
AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer
.kext file located in System/
Library/Extensions (simply
dragging it to your desktop will
work fine. Infact, ill be assuming
thats what you did below...)
2. Use the auto-update feature
to get the updated. Reboot
when it says its neccessary.
3. When you reboot youll see
your boot menu and it will say
press a button to enter a custom
command. Press a button.
4. Enter '-s' (without either ')
and press Entere.
5. When its done doing a bunch
of scary text stuff and is
waiting for your input type the
following:
CODE
/sbin/mount -uw/
6. Now type the following (this
is assuming you simply dragged
the FrameBuffer.kext to your
desktop before:
CODE
sudo cp -r /Users/(Your
username here)/Desktop/
AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer
.kext /System/Library/
Extensions
It will ask for your password.
Enter it.
7. Type exit and thats it. Your
done! Youll now be booting into
a Dell D620 that in every way
acts just like a mac (except its
single core only!)
Addendum:
"But Cali3350, i dual boot and
HATE having to toggle single
core/multi core in my bios every
time i change OS's!"
Thats ok, we can fix that too!
When your booted into your
nice OSX installation, open up
terminal (search for it in
spotlight) and then enter the
following code:
CODE
sudo nano /Library/
Preferences/
SystemConfiguration/
com.apple.Boot.plist
Find where it says:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
and change that to:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>cpus=1</string>
And there, were done. Now go
into your bios and select dual
core mode and leave it there.
Boot into OSX it will only use
single core, any other OS has all
cores open to them.
