dparm Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Worked. Thanks. Odd quirk with EDP1.5rc5: the brightness setting in the Displays pane always goes back to 90% whenever I reboot. Works independently of the FN+up/down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizmaster Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just wondering - Is the d430 only bootable in 32 bit? Is this because of the gma 950? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treix Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi! I am new to hackintosh and got stuck on the very beginning, so I think it is a good idea to reuse this thread. I assume that a working OSX machine is needed to prepare the usb stick even when using the second method, isn't it? My attempt was to unmount a 16 GB pendrive (from Ubuntu) and dump the premade image on it using bzcat. Afterwards, I noticed that gparted didn't recognize any filesystem and the pendrive cannot be used to boot a pc. So, the first steps of the method 1 are needed? Is there a way to do it from windows or linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treix Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I finally got it! I followed an awkward way but it worked. In short, I installed windows 7 and vmware and used a Leopard vmware image (http://www.sysprobs.com/install-mac-os-1055-leopard-virtualbox-314-installation-dvd ) to dump the premade image to the pendrive. It worked like a charm! First I tried with virtualbox (as suggested in the link), but bzcat was taking ages. When using -vv to get some kind of progress information, it was going extremely slow. It's a pity that I didn't manage to do it with Ubuntu instead. In fact, I didn't fiddled with disk utility nor something distinct than unmount & bzcat.

Leppy's install method, which I just had to use to get my D430 up and running. I'd previously installed Snow Leo using your USB pen method and it worked fine, but when I updated to 10.6.7 I lost my wifi. Said that no Airport card was installed. I have a Dell 1390 which worked great in 10.6.3. I hadn't installed EDP 1.6 yet, so I gave that a try and kept getting kernel panics at reboot, so decided to wipe everything clean and start over. Couldn't find my USB pen (!) so used the Leppy method with a retail 10.6.0. Install went fine and I'm now at 10.6.0, without applying Leppy's post install stuff, as I'd like to proceed directly with your EDP 1.6. Or would you recommend 1.7? Can you install 1.6 (or 1.7) without a USB pen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
