Embarking on a new journey... Installing Apple OSX on my lappy :-)

Well... Its time to experiment...

Let me tell you a little about what I like to do... Once in a while when I get bored, I try to figure out what new stuff I can test my computers with...

Since I got rid of all my PCs about a year ago, I am now stuck experimenting on my laptop which is an HP Pavillion DV6 1152tx. Specifications can be found here : http://www.grabpc.com/laptop.php?pid=200177

Aim of the Experiment : Install Mac OSx 10.5.5 (via iATKOS v5i)

Lets see how it goes... :-)

Well, as it turns out it ain't possible  to install Snow Leopard on a DV6 1152tx ... :-P Either  that, or I don't have patience to try anymore...

Well this is what I'v tried doing..

I started with installing iATKOS v5i. It failed to install giving me kernel panics due to ACPI driver errors. I must've tried installing it atleast 6 times. Each time giving me a different error( Thats one gud thing atleast :-) ). One of the errors I received had to do with a SATA driver problem. Another had to do with no support for my ATI 4530 graphics card.

I then tried installing Apple OSX Snow Leopard... i.e. iATKOS s3. It installed successfully but my display didn't work... After a couple of tries I gave up....

I anyone ever manages to install OSX successfully on a similar configuration, I'd like to know and install it then...

But until then I'm stuck with using MS Windows .... BSOD here I come :-P
