Our research group is looking to buy a Macbook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel

modifications to the Darwin kernel.
I'd like to gain some confidence that if we buy this machine, we can
expect to compile our own kernels and have them work on the machine.
Modulo the complexity of building the open-source kernel releases,
yes, this generally works.
Has anyone compiled a Darwin kernel and successfully run it on an
Intel
Mac laptop
Yes.
Are there any drivers required for the machine that are not part of
the open source
Darwin project?
Yes.
Our project requires being able to do compiler analysis of the
entire kernel source.
Drivers are not part of the kernel, per se. They, and their
supporting libraries ("Families") are handled as loadable modules.
