Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 28, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2013 And yes to the XD support being switched on, at this point Im tempted just to sell the Dell and get a real macbook. All of the extra's folders (3 so far that match the spec of the e6420 I have) I have tried either result in a KP pointing at the ACPI kexts or a Waiting for root. Have a little patience, you'll get there. Did you remove the bluetooth and wireless I mentioned earlier? Let's try another variation of the bootpack. Replace the installer Extra with this one, make sure to run myfix on the USB installer before you start the build. Extra_E6420.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1k3rdude Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yep, only have a WiFi card in this machine and in/out got the same results. Thanks for the new Bp, will try that later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1k3rdude Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Evening Ok, that bootpack you gave me did the trick, I now have a mostly working Hacintosh, thank you. But had to take a roundabout route to get it working - boot from myhack USB stick choose generic when prompted for what extra's to install. boot from the USB stick again and then choose your extras folder run myfix reboot. Working: PC is detected as a MBP 8,1 Gfx (nVidia NVS420) Bluetooth (DW375) Ethernet (intel E1000) - its actually a Intel 82579LM gigabyte Audio - via voodoo sound system/driver Not working: Wifi (Dell DW501 N-half mini card) but I have some other half heigh cards I can use, see below) Intel Link 5100 (512AN_HMW) Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (622ANHMW) Or full height that I think I can install in the other miniPCI slot - Intel Link-4965AGN Or would it be eaiser to get a proper apple half height miniPCI wifi card instead..? Todo: Figure out the correct way to setup dual boot Osx/Windows. Test mac port (already have Windows/Linux working) of a Doom3 Total conversion mod (The Darkmod) that create maps for and help support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'm not familiar with DW510 card, but I do know all Intel Wireless are unsupported. Head over to R&D under Network for a list of tested wireless card. For Dual booting, check out my short and simple tutorial here. A lot of details are not included, which assumes you have some knowledge with Windows and OSX. Hope it helps. Edit: run lspci -nn and post it here so we could check the vendor/product ID of your DW501 card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1k3rdude Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm gonna try the kext from the link above the BC wifi card, by putting the folder in your extrass folder on my usb stick, then doing steps3 to 5 again. If it works does that mean we can create a boot pack entry for the E6420 for 10.8 on the EDP page ? [update] Just adding the wifi kext your folder didnt work and still not appearing 'about this mac' _maybe you could work your magic..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the tested card in R&D here. Atheros AR5B91 would seem to be the best one tested as it works OOB and sees as an Apple Airport Extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1k3rdude Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks, I shall go a hunting then This is probably obvious, but sleep mode dosen't work. What would I need to do to get this to work it at all..? Should I also assume speedstep wont be working either if the above is true..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
