Hi,

 

I used the myHack installer with a USB stick and then I copied the extra folder from the Bootpack.

 

This was actually the easiest install process I ever hat.

 

I hope this helped.

so you replaced the extra folder that was already on the stick (from myhack) with the one from the EDP pack?

 

no flags or anything when loading?

FYI,

 

replaced Extra folder, unfortunately i am still basically stopping at the same screen. If i wait a few minutes, i see two more line which states

 

PFM64 (36 cpu) 0xf10000000. 0xf0000000

[ PCI Configuration Begin ]

 

.... and it doesnt get any farther

 

any ideas?

Ok....

 

fixed THAT particular issue.

 

Turns out i needed to replace the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the Extra folder into the one in System/Library/Extensions.

 

But now it looks like i have basically gotten to the install screen but... the screen goes BLACK. but i am definately not frozen... caps lock works

 

Tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes, also No, and -x.

 

any ideas?

ok fixed the black install screen issue.

 

i deleted all the NV kexts from the system/library/extension folder... and was able to install.

 

after running the EDP fixes... everything seems to work... but def. something wrong with video. Its just real slow and choppy to work in ML. Never had the issue with it in Snow Leopard.

 

i have the nvidia quadro fx 360m.... is there a kext, injector, or something i can do to have that run properly? Then this will be a perfect system.

 

Thanks.

please check Post 28 in this treat.

 

The black screen issue was resolved with this method. Removing the NV kext may cause issues.

 

regads,

So i basically fixed everything.

 

through alot of trial and error i figured out the best way to install this, with everything functioning properly.

 

Instead of using myhack to create the bootable USB installal, i used unifail. then, i just replaced the appleacpiplatform.kext with the one from the bootpack found on this site. Then i replaced the extra folder with the one from the bootpack, and also had added the kexts from EDP.... (minus keyboard... because the one on the installer works PERFECT... including the pointing stick)... and my modified DSDT file. So also EDP is not even needed to be installed, if you dont want it.

 

after install just made sure all my kexts were in place in the EXTRA folder, repaired permissions.

 

everything works great, just i feel that its a lil bit on the slow side sometimes... but nowhere near as bad as the one created from the myhack install.

 

if anyone needs any help with this install just ask me, as i think i can be of help

So I have opened the DSDT.aml file from the Extra folder in Dell_Precision_M4300_ML.zip in Text Edit through the Chameleon Wizard after I extracted it on my desktop as a .asl file but I cannot find

 

"device_type",
Buffer (0x0D)
{
"NVDA,Quadro"
},

 

so I can change it. I have used the Find feature in Text Edit, but nothing comes up. I deleted the NV kext files from /system/libary/extensions and I'm not getting the black screen but I understand that may cause other problems.

 

Can some one help me find this text?

 

TIA

You did not do your search properly...

 

I've just placed the DSDT.aml file out of the 4300 bootpack on my desktop and double clicked on it. ChamWizard created a DSDT.dsl file on my desktop and I opened it up with TextEdit. On searching for "NVDA" string a few times (you must not stop at 1st match), I found that particular section towards the end of the "Device (AGP)" section. It's just about mid-way down the table.
