Thanks for the instructions
Successfully installed Leopard 10.5.4 on a Dell Latitute 820 series laptop - but after a lot of persistence, effort, and of course frustration

Funny thing is that it worked just when I had decided "this is my last time, if it works great, if not screw it".
I had to install Leopard on my Dell 22 times trying all sorts of combinations until I finally got it right. Took me close to 20 sleepless hours (been trying since 9 PM Sunday - Aug 31st).
Since its a different hardware than Toshiba, following the exact instructions didn't seem to work for me. For example, Selecting that MBR partition map option was simply catastrophic for me - it led to "Still waiting for root" or something like that. Also, selecting 9200-sleep Kernel didn't work for me, even after I had made sure that Sleep mode was enabled in BIOS.
Also, I had to turn off Dual Core option in BIOS, to make it appear as Single Core.
I am not writing this to say your guide is wrong

so please don't take it in that sense. I am writing this so others who are reading this get some other options. We are all smart relatively people here and we know what works for one doesn't always work for another

I really appreciate your guide cuz it served as an inspiration to get my own Hackint0sh.
Also, I noticed that the install wasn't successful on a drive with multiple partitions. I had the following partitions:
1. Dell Setup Utility partition (Primary) - 15 MB
2. Empty\Blank FAT32 partition (Primary, Active) - 100 GB - This is where I intended to install Leopard
3. NTFS Data Partition (Extended, Logical) - 20 GB - This partition just had some .pqi (Image files) for my Windows installation.
I was hoping I could install on partition 2, without having to touch partition 1 and 3, but no dice after liek 15 tries. OS would always install, but never boot
That got me thinking that maybe partition 1 (Dell Setup Utility) is causing problems here, since it was a bootable partition. I decided to pull the plug, erase my entire drive and start over. Once I did this, I installed with Default (GUID Partition Map) instead of MBR Partition. I customized the install with the following set:
1. Intel in Chipset
2. Accept the default Kernel it presents (9200)
3. Broadcom and Intel Proset drivers in Netowrking section
4. Apple SMBIOS 667 under (SMBIOS)
5. Do not select Video Driver
6. Do not select Audio Driver
7. Do not select Power Management
8. Select Remove Firewire
Here's a list of things that are working for me (after updates, and addtional Kext intallations as mentioned in the guide)
1. Wifi - Worked right out of the box (i.e. after installtion)
2. Sound
3. DVD
4. Power Management
5. Upgrade to 10.5.4
