Dell Latitude D630 Issues

LATITUDE D630

So, I was attempting to install via retail Snow Leopard and iBoot Legacy.

As soon as I select Snow Leopard in iBoot Menu, the disk loads and the Apple logo shows up, but then I run into a kernel panic.

Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 CPU @ 1.8 GHz

Intel Graphics Model (there's another Latitude D630 with NVidia graphics

1.5 GB ram

I've tried GraphicsEnabler=no and -x but nothing different is showing.

I've thought about updating BIOS for the HPET to 64 bit mode option but I'm not quite sure.

Is there a different method I could use? Any other bootflags?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Set your SATA mode to AHCI.

According to my BIOS, SATA is already set to AHCI.

Maybe I'm misreading the panic, but I don't think you can get an ATA panic if you have it set to AHCI. Some old laptops have the optical drive on IDE/ATA, and the other ports on AHCI. Check 'lspci -nn' in Linux to verify.

Here's what Linux Mint replied back.

I apologize for the weird orientation.
