Finally after around 40 attempts, I have Mavericks installed on my XPS M1530.

1. Remove the battery. The Mac installation doesn't like it for some reason, especially if the battery is bad. Just leave it out until you replace it.

2. Disable Speedstep and Enable AHCI in BIOS

3. USB Keyboard/Mouse

4. Install with Unibeast. (Make sure and check laptop support when making bootable USB)

Bootflags - PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes


5. Install Multibeast/Kexts (My wifi was already enabled)

7. Done!
 
Did you disable Speedstep in BIOS? There are a couple of other BIOS settings you might want to check also.

Did you use a USB Keyboard and Mouse?

Enable AHCI in BIOS?
 
It works, the problem was the trackpad it's not working...
 
Hi.
I can't get it to work. I think I need some correct BIOS settings. Can you please tell me what settings need to be changed in detail?
 
I can get the installer working, but it freezes at different places....I've had it freeze with 12 minutes remaining, 16 minutes remaining and just recently it froze with 22 minutes remaining.....

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature (pointer over your name in upper right - drop down menu select Settings and Edit Profile from options in left pane of Settings menu.)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Depending on how you're running the installer it could be the display has just stopped updating.

Press a key periodically (eg. shift key) to keep the display awake. Or use better boot flags to enable your native framebuffer.

You should also add the system details to your signature.

I don't know what boot flags need to be used (hence trying to find help on here)....I have sat there and moved the mouse cursor until it froze....it seems to freezes at different times.....tried using PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=YES and PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=YES since i've seen it two different ways. The only difference in the machine i'm using is the Wifi card was swapped from another computer, but I don't see how that can freeze the system, just seems like it would not work once installed.
