It looks like there is a problem in that script that returns the mount status as false regardless or its actual status.

I changed the isMounted function and this worked for me...

function isMounted {
        mnt_point=/dev/$1
        command=$(mount | grep $mnt_point | cut -d\  -f1)
        if [ "$command" != "$mnt_point" ]; then
                return 0;
        fi;
        return 1;
}

@elmostro: Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. The reason is the UPGRADE DVD. (I suppose you use it?) It seems that it doesn't work with it. I use the BOX SET DVD and it works. So, try another Installation DVD.

i cant seem to get it to boot from the internal drive, even with nbi. i can only get it to boot externally

Before I spend any more time in trying to convert the Dell Mini 10 (not 10v) into a hackintosh...is this a hopeless effort right now? Is any one working on a fix for the graphics incompatibility? Is any of the "fixes" not worth the resulting screen resolution? Thanks for your help.

hey just a heads up about the disk identifier::

im part way thru the proces and i just had trouble doing a few things so to benefit those who may have the same problem; for the sudo 01-prepare... operation from the end of phase one use only the main disk name, not the partition. for example my OSXInstall partition is identified as 'disk1s2' and if you attempt to use that designation you will run into errors, ie Unable to find mounted volume disk1s2. Giving up. whereas the main disk designation is disk1, which worked fine.

hope it helped someone...

Dear All

there is some idea of using iPhone3gs graphic driver for GMA500(it's same device). You should try some possible tricks and ways...
