Though not without some issues...
I'm choosing broadcom for wireless, Graphics Enabler, Chameleon v2 RC4, AHCI SATA, Voodoo PS2, Voodoo P-state, Battery, Card Reader, TSC Sync.
The thing that got it booted for me was disabling RTC. Once I did that, it came right up. At first the camera, track pad, and sound didn't work, but after I applied the "available updates" via the generic os updates pop-up, I was golden (everything worked).
On the sound, I did have to go into the sound settings and switch it to external speaker. The sound is a little more quiet than in my Linux and Win7, but it seems to work fine. Haven't found a way to boost the volume.

http://antyalias.com/2009/10/dell-1525-snow-leopard-10a432-10-6-retail-single-usb-method/
It has been long time i’m not update my blog. Today i’m going to write guide how to install retail Snow Leopard copy to Dell 1525 using usb either external hard drive or flash drive .. for DVD installation it can be found at macyourpc. Thanks to macyour pc for the helful guide, but i’m prefer to install using usb method more faster and easier to inject anything that i want to. Boot 132 also no longer needed. i’m just use chameleon boot loader to make Snow Leopard readable by dell 1525. On this guide also u can install on either MBR partition or GUID partition. No worried to lost any data on my previous MBR partition for example 1. Macintosh HD(System) 2. Data (i want keep this whole data). This method only worked on Retail 10A432 version. havent tried to other version. oke guys lets started.
Requirements
1. USB Flash Drive (8GB above) or external drive and Mac Computer or Hackintosh also considerable and your toy Dell 1525.
2. Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10A432) 10.6 Retail. u can buy from apple store or u can get here for PLAYING PURPOSE. a lot stuff there.
3. Download this Dell 1525 Snow Essential. Place to your mac desktop. What inside?
Preparation
U must did this step on Mac Computer or Hackintosh.
1. Restore installer to USB flash drive. If u dont know how to restore u can refer my previous post. carbon cloner also recommended to clone the installer, its free. Name it your USB flash drive as Snow.
2. Open Dell 1525 Snow Essential. Inject Chameleon 2 RC3 bootloader by installing to USB Drive Snow.
3. Copy All files under folder “Boot/Extra” to Folder Extra on USB Drive Snow.
To make installer recognized the MBR partition, we have to replace original OSinstall file with cracked version.
1. Open terminal type “sudo su” and insert password. copy following to terminal and press enter. It will show all hidden files on your mac.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
2. Replace “OSInstall” file on USB Snow. read instruction inside OSInstall folder.
3. Copy “boot” file inside Boot folder and replace to USB Drive Snow directory. “boot” file inside USB Snow is hidden. u cant just replace the files by drag and drop. the simple trick without using terminal is
Move to Trash “boot” file inside USB drive snow directory.
Drag “boot” file inside boot folder Dell 1525 Snow Essential to USB drive Snow directory
Thats it. Now your hacked version snow leopard is ready.
Installation on Dell 1525
1. Boot press F2. Disable all boot sequence. save and exit.
2. Boot press F12 and select USB Flash drive and press enter. Chameleon bootloader will come up. Select USB Snow type -v -x and enter. This -x(safe mode) flag is important. i had failed many times to load the installation screen only because without -x .
3. Once your installation screen appear. do as usual. go disk utility to format partition to Mac OS Extended Journal and name it as u like. Close and Next
4. select your partition to install. this time if u are using MBR partition u are lucky no alert error will appear anymore. click customize if u want to save space, otherwise just click install. it will takes around 15minutes. after finish installation
5. restart. press F12 and once again select USB partition and chameleon shown up. Select partition installed OSX. type -v -x. after booted up Setup your information data.
Post Install
Inject all post install files to your Dellintosh. I’m not going to write this step. for the instruction follow guide from macyourpc.
Happy Enjoying!!

*New Guide* Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Retail Install Boot-132 Method
by GENARO BONILLA on 11. JAN, 2011 in SNOW LEOPARD GUIDES
Download: SnowBoot v1.1.iso
Step 1: Make sure you have your copy of Snow Leopard (I would highly suggest purchasing it, it’s a great price for what it offers!)
Step 2: Download SnowBoot v1.1.iso and burn it to a CD.
Step 3: Put the burned boot cd into your cd-drive and on startup at the “DELL” splash screen press “F12″ now you will be at the boot selection menu, from here wait till your activity light on your cd-drive stops blinking and boot from the disc.
Step 4: Eject the boot-132 disk and replace it with your Snow Leopard Disc and again, wait till the activity light stops blinking. Once it has stopped press “F5″ and the Install Disk will appear. Boot the disc by pressing enter. The disc will take about 5-10 min to load.
Step 5: Once in the install disk go to “Tools” from the menu bar and choose “Disk Utility.” Once you’ve gotten into the Disk Utility you have to select your hard drive and click on the partition tab and under the Volume Scheme choose 1 Partition and click “Options” and choose GPT. From this tab choose “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” and name it Macintosh HD and click apply.
Step 6: Close Disk Utility and go through the Installer. After it is done restart and again press “F12″ and boot from the Boot-132 disc, this time select the Macintosh HD partition and again boot by pressing enter.
Step 7: Download Mac OS X 10.6.6 by clicking the following link and proceed to install it. Mac OS X v10.6.6 Update. Once you’ve done that you an restart and boot into the partition again following the same method used above. Boot into the partition using the same method that you did in Step 6.
Step 8: Now that you’ve booted into your partition open “My Boot CD” from the desktop. Navigate to the Post-Intall folder located in “My Boot CD/Extra/Post-Install” and double-click “Chameleon 2 RC3″ After this go back to the Post-Install folder and highlight “Extra” and copy the folder.. After you have copied “Extra” from the Post-Install folder open up your “Macintosh HD” and paste “Extra” by right-clicking and pressing Paste Item.
Step 9: Now Open up the Applications folder from the Post-Install folder and open “Kext Helper” now go to “Local Extensions” and Kext Helper all the files in there. (For more information on how to use Kext Helper click here.)
Step 10: Navigate back to the “Post-Install” folder and double-click the “10.6.2 – AppleHDA Installer” and follow the prompt.
Step 11: Go to “System Preferences” click “Security” then click the little lock in the bottom corner. Now uncheck “Use secure virtual memory.”
Step 12: Open up Terminal Located in “Applications/Utilities” and run the following commands one by one:
sudo -s
pmset -a hibernatemode 0
rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage
mkdir /BackupPreferencePanes
cp -R /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane /BackupPreferencePanes
rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane
cp -R /Volumes/My\ Boot\ CD/Extra/Post-Install/PrefPane/Trackpad.prefPane /System/Library/PreferencePanes/
Step 13: Restart and at this point you should be all done and updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.6. As new updates come out you should visit below where I will be updating a link on how to upgrade.
Step 14: Feel free to donate anything. Any amount is helpful.
