E6420 research thread

[OSXDell]

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks Jake Lo.

 

I got gestures working (sort of) but good enough for my $350 "MacBookPro" clone and sound up and running, decided to do VoodooHDA 2.8.4 install.

 

I also swapped out the memory, 8 GIG, for 16Gig and it is working great! 

 

Seems to be running fine, quieter than my e6410, but I'd like to confirm if SpeedStep is working correctly.

 

Any suggestions on how I can confirm?

 

Thanks

[Hervé]

Try a recent version of Kozlek's HWmonitor. If SpeedStep is working, you'll see your various CPU cores frequency throttle.

I just updated a new audio driver for IDT 92HD90BXX(111d76e7), could anyone help me to test it, if it is work for you? thanks.

 

Installation guide:

1. you must add method function in Device (HDEF) in your dsdt, and the layout id must be 0x0c, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00.

2. check your boot loader's(Chameleon or clover) "boot_arg" or "boot flag" parameter, and do delete "npci=0x2000/3000", if you use this parameter.

3. delete the "AppleHDA.kext" & "Fake92HD87B1AppleHDA.kext" in S\L\E.

4. use Kext Utility to install attached driver.

5. reboot.

 

there are 2 versions, test which one is Ok for you, and feedback.

Ver1:

AppleHDA.kextVer1.zip

Ver2:

AppleHDA.kextVer2.zip

 Update: Mirone uploaded a new version http://www.sendspace.com/file/84nwwd, output device is now detected for internal speakers, but headphone and mic are not working nor detected.

That link looks totally outdated... Use the official truk link (http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/tree/HEAD/trunk) or use Chameleon Wizard to update to one of the more recent 2.2 versions.

Hi everyone,

I've build successfully first hackintosh (core i5 e6420) by following all tips and tricks provided in this forum.
Now I'm trying to get Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on the following DELL Latitude e6420 :
- Native Display: 1600x900 with Intel HD3000
- CPU: Core i7 2640M
- Network: Broadcom DW1510 not rebranded (wifi), Dell Wireless5550 (modem), Intel® 82579LM Gigabit (wired)

I use myHack method and Jake Lo boot pack (without the SSDT) and the result is that I always get KP (IOPCIFamily ... set up nanotime in .....)

thanks

Remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and add NullCPUPowerManagement to my boot pack. Make sure to replace the DSDT with one here

[Jake Lo]

thanks Jake Lo, The problem how to HD 3000? i used multifail 5.5.2 for boot, i don't search Chameleon 2210,  new version Chameleon 2.1 in http://chameleon.osx86.hu

Follow guide here to build your Installer. Use this Extra_E6420_2CH.zip when prompt for boot pack.

I've deleted AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and add NullCPUPowerManagement and use the pointed BP but always KP.

neros,

 

 

Use this boot pack when myhack prompt. Then deleted AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and add NullCPUPowerManagement. Run myhack/myfix to repair permission and rebuild cache.

If still KP, try deleting AppleACPIPlatform as well and boot with -v -f switch.
