I've been installing Mac OS X on PCs for 4 years. I haven't done one in about 8 months. I decided to give it a go on my rather old HP DV1410US. After about 5 hours of dicking with it, I got Mac OS X 10.5.8 working perfectly on it:


Just thought that I could share this. Really nice to get something else other than Windows XP or Ubuntu on this thing.
 
Good work!

Any kinks?

Does that hp have similar hardware to a Mac ?

I noticed in profiler the CPU is listed as celeron m even though no macs came with celerons. How did you get it to display?

It's a hackintosh, so it works on pretty much any Intel or AMD processor.

Full specs: 1.6GHz Celeron M 380, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Intel GMA915, BCM4318 wireless, RTL8139 LAN)
