My T400 (6474) has an Intel Core 2 Duo (Centrino vPro 2) 2.26 Ghz processor, and an Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller.
To install Snow Leopard, I used the iBoot/Multibeast method found on this website. The installation went smoothly, and it was very easy to accomplish.
Post-installation, the wireless didn't work. But that was expected. To work around that, I purchased a Rosewill USB 2.0 External 5dBi Antenna Wireless Adapter (RNX-N180UBE). The drivers for Snow Leopard can be downloaded from the Rosewill website.
Snow Leopard also did not recognize the battery. To “fix” that, I used the VoodooBattery Kext, along with the Slim Battery Monitor (rather than the OS X battery monitor, which does not work correctly).
The only other problem that I encountered post-installation was that the system would not sleep. Well, maybe it does sleep, but it won’t wake up. I’m not sure what exactly the problem is. If I try to enter sleep mode, then I have to do a hard reboot. This isn’t an incredibly big deal for me, since I am mainly using the system as a hi-fi music server. However, I am open to suggestions concerning the sleep mode issue. For now, I just leave it on the screen saver when I’m not using it.
Another weird thing is that sometimes “About This Mac” says that the processor is 1.6 Ghz instead of 2.26 Ghz. Other times it says that it is 2.26 Ghz (which it is). Any ideas about this?
I am a Mac enthusiast, and own a 2008 white MacBook, and a 2012 Mac Mini, but I am new to the Hackintosh community.
I really like this site!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
