Upgraded from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3 using the combo updater . Rebooted, NBI did its job perfectly. It felt like NBI took 5-10 minutes.
All is running smoothly. ;-)

Thanks meklort!!!

when is the NetbookInstaller for the Dell Mini 1012 going to be released? thanks

I am going to have to say that .8.4 with 10.6.3 has many problems.....

Might work OK with a simple system, if you do not do much with it.

But, it seems that there are all sorts of issues with .8.4 and 10.6.3, and we will see many more as the days go on, and people post here....

sort of pissed off right now as all my legal Adobe apps no longer work, and booting from an external USB HDD no longer seems to work in 10.6.3 on a Dell Mini 10v with .8.4

Glad I also have a real mac where there are none of these issues, and 10.6.3 is working great.

Somewhat funny timing with all this also, as right now I feel like throwing my dell mini 10v out the door (or selling on ebay) and getting an iPad...............

Apple is so smart with all this....

(I am currently doing a total re-install with .8.3 rc5 and 10.6.2 to see if I recover some of the currently missing functioinality.)

It will be interesting to see if this "My Dell Mini" forum even survives through this cryptically ANTI-HACKINTOSH 10.6.3 upgrade.

I recommend extreme caution if you are going to "upgrade" to .8.4 and 10.6.3

Is there any way to fix this?

See my post above (#12) and the thread that I linked in it. This issue is popping up more and more lately.

one more bug I found, I keep my HDD's an usb flash drives etc. on my desktop, and some times with I boot it up, they will be all over the place or not there at all. ( probably off the screen and unreachable.)

+1 For having the "circle with the line through it" on boot up. This happens every time I update my NetbookInstaller since the more recent versions.

I rebooted using recovery=y and now it will boot. Does anyone know by doing this have I still installed the latest NetbookInstaller?

Edit: no sound or airport on bootup. Going to try and run NetbookInstaller again. Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Well my upgrade to 0.8.4 went great. You must have screwed the pooch somewhere.

My upgrade went great too. I seriously doubt that Apple put anything in this 10.6.3 update that would intentionally cause any problems for people trying to use OSX on a PC (netbook). I obviously don't have any proof of that. I just think that there are just a lot of variables involved here as far as certain people having problems with this update. It's going great for some, and not so great for others. I'm sure with trial and error, everyone will eventually sort out their specific problems. The important things is to try and have patience.

do you have and run legal adobe CS3 apps?

BTW, no screwing the pooch, I have fairly adequate technical skills.
