sstillwell Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Booted from USB and installed OS X Rebooted Booted from USB -> Hard disk Installed EDP 1.9.2 Ran /Extras/edptool.command Chose D820-Intel Chose apple trackpad/keyboard Chose NullCPU Chose SleepEnabler Chose Virtual Speedstep (or whatever it was called...) Installed Chameleon Installed 10.6.8 Combo Update Rebooted. There is no network device in the list in the network pref pane, and if I try to add it, there is no ethernet adapter shown. Mouse (trackpad) appears to work, but keyboard does not. If I plug in a USB keyboard/mouse, those work fine. Also, video aspect ratio seems to be off...the only resolution shown is 1280 x 1024 instead of the 1680 x 1050 that it's capable of. Machine is on A07 bios, with 4GB RAM (3.3-ish GB available) When I booted from USB->Hard disk the first time, the video and keyboard were fine, even if the network wasn't there yet. Ideas?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 13, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2012 you can rebuild edp with different trackpad options... i believe the boot back uses the debug trackpad option 2... for graphics you can change it in org.chameleon.Boot.plist set it to your native resolution 1680x1050x32 . Graphics Mode 1680x1050x322 intel wifi does not work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the wired LAN adapter? It's not showing up either. Should I use the Chameleon (RC5) that is downloadable directly from the site, or use the newer version that can be installed from "Tools" in the EDP? The newer one shows me a lot of options, including the default resolution change and an option that appears to be to enable "built-in" ethernet. I can buy a Broadcom wifi card, no biggie (assuming I can physically swap it out). Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2012 it came to dawn on me... are you booting in 64bit by any chance.... you can use the one in edp or newer... 1791 seems to work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the instructions precisely...which didn't mention anything about it. I'll try again when I get home. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that if you install Chameleon from EDP, it actually nukes (moves) the /Extra directory. After that, I REINSTALLED EDP, then reconfigured the kexts. Booted beautifully. I thought I didn't have network access (Safari didn't work), but when I went into Network preferences for the first time, it identified a new Ethernet adapter and configured it. Works a treat. Now I just need to find a wireless card on fleabay and start testing out sleep, etc. Thanks, thanks, thanks! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep is working fine (after setting a System password in BIOS), but Activity Monitor crashes the system with the darkened screen and the multi-language "Power me off and back on" message. Can that be worked around, or is it just a "no go"? I was mostly just trying to check if both cores were working. Scott EDIT: Just picked up a DW1490 wifi card on eBay for $6 with free shipping and 30-day guarantee. Can't beat that with a stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstillwell Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 repair your disk permissions with disk utility Dude...you are GOOD. Worked perfectly. System running on both cores, 1.25% User, 2.5% System, 96% Idle. PStateMenu is probably the biggest consumer of CPU, but it's ticking along just fine. Since you're batting 100%, do you know if the PCMCIA slot should function? I'm half-tempted to get an RME audio interface and run Logic or Pro Tools on it for portable recording. Firewire shows up okay in System Profiler, so I could fall back to a Firewire or USB interface if PCMCIA doesn't work. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 15, 2012 it kind of worked in snow leopard up until i think 10.6.7 and architecture was dropped from 10.6.8 and all lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
