The panasonic viera is one of the hottest gifts this Christmas, they’re selling out fast. I found mine at link removed.

I have also been in the works for making a guide. But its pretty much the same as before. Minus a few hiccups. Did you encounter any serious problems tagavor?

Not sure if anyone is reading this post anymore or not, but I have successfully installed and am running 10.6.1 on my vostro 410. I will post a concise guide in a few days here once I make sure its actually stable.

Update– ALC888Legacy allows for headphones, sorry I didn’t read the comments.

At any rate, who is interested in trying to get 10.6 working? I believe the main problem is (at least for me, my 410 has ICH9R) getting sata support to work properly. Netkas created a supposed fix, but it didn’t work for all of us vostro and xps 410 users. Check out the post here: http://netkas.org/?p=125

I’m think we should start a thread on insanelymac for 410 users trying a snow upgrade?

Hey this 99% worked for me, but my headphone jack on the front doesn’t do anything. I plug it in and sound keeps chugging along on the speakers. On the iPC install I selected ALC888, has anyone gotten headphones working?

Also, has anyone tried installing 10.6 yet? I spent all day today trying. I got it installed using mostly dsdt from my current 10.5.6 install but got kp on bootup.

Hey glad you got it working. So tell us a little about that card. I’ve been looking to upgrade to something new.

I just wanted to report that I got it working, I also bought a nvidia card (9400 GT) and everything just works. I did an update to 10.5.8 and the audio didn’t work, found a post somewhere to fix it (should have saved it, sorry). I think everything is working, even dual screen goodness!

I downloaded iATKOS v7 and installed it on my Vostro 410 but when it boots I get the nice grey screen with the ‘no’ symbol (circle with line through). I didn’t do anything but just go through the install, could you list specifically how you got it installed? What extra steps you took besides a normal OS install? Any help would be great

try the openhaltrestart fix which should also be on the dvd in the patches section. This should fix the shutdown sleep problems.
