tman Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Since I was unable get to SL to install on my Dell I thought I'd have a go at installing Lion. Well, to make a long story short it worked great. I have a near-perfect/near-complete installation (after many many many attempts though). My specs are: Dell Latitude D630 with Intel Core 2 Duo (T9300) 4GB, 160GB HD 1440x900 LCD Intel 965 Video Dell 1395 Wifi card Fingerprint reader Dell A17 Bios Working: 1440x900 Ethernet WIFI (via IO80211Family.kext) Audio (via VoodooHDA 2.7.3) Not Working: Sleep Power / Battery status Trackpad scrolling Update to 10.7.4 combo update was successful. No issues. Subsequent updates also good. I did not use an EDP as it was causing a KP. I have an almost complete write up of my process which I will post, as soon as I get these last few issues sorted. I'm kinda scared to try putting in kexts in fear of the wrong ones that might cause a KP and render my installation useless (again). If someone has the same spec as mine, can you tell me which is the correct kext to download for sleep and battery status to work. Much appreciated. TIA.

Administrators Syonagar Posted July 5, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2012 Dear tman, You may need to install the SleepEnabler.kext from EDP to fix sleep. You may also need to install the VoodooBattery.kext to fix power / battery status. By the way, after you install EDP did you run myfix full mode? That normally resolve the KP issue. Cheers!

tman Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions, I installed VoodooBattery.kext which fixed battery and power status on Tuesday. I had previously installed sleepenabler.kext which I downloaded from another "10.7.4 on D630" thread. That did not fix sleep (got the bios reset issue). To answer your last question; I did not run myFix Full after installing the EDP the last time I tried it. Right now, sleep is my only remaining problem and don't want to risk it and have to do another install. I'm making do with the default trackpad driver which is not bad as it has scroll just not what I'm used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted July 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dear tman, Try the AppleRTCPatch...kext. That should solve the bios reset issue. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tman Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 This is the one I have in my Extra/Extensions folder (which I assume via myFix ends up in S/L/E, is that correct?): Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext IS that the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted July 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yes. Thats the one that fix bios reset if im not mistaken. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tman Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well, at least I have the right one. But it doesn't work / prevent the Bios resetting itself when I put the laptop to sleep. Should I copy it to S/L/E and then do fix permissions, rebuild kext from Kext Wizard as opposed to using myFix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted July 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 8, 2012 Dear tman, Can you try to recopy the dsdt.aml from EDP to your Extra. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tman Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ok. I can do that. Do I also need to install a specific sleepenabler.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
