apple_core Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Lion is running well on my D430. Used the July 12th bootpack and EDP v396. I even have WIFI working after getting and installing IO80211Family.kext. If I close the lid of the laptop, in essence putting it to sleep, when I open the lid and as the computer "wakes" I end up getting a kernel panic. I have confirmed that I have a sleep kext in /Extra. I've rerun myHack and chose the option under the fixes section to disable the hibernation file (the verbiage said something about one of the necessary steps to get sleep working.) Are there any other settings in the BIOS or somewhere else that I need make to get this to work? Overall I am happy with Lion on that old Core 2 Duo machine! Thanks.

Administrators Hervé Posted July 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yes, those D4x0 models need specific BIOS settings to avoid KP at wake from sleep. It's well documented on "Tweaks" pages of this site, but basically, you need to do 2 things in the BIOS: 1) set a System password 2) set password bypass on reboot/resume It's a bit annoying on initial switch on, but afterwards, no need of the password and you can put the lappy to sleep & wake without problems.

listofdemands Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi apple_core - just wondering what wifi card you have in your D430? I've installed 10.6.8 recently and would love to get wifi working on mine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 29, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just look in your system preferences (Apple Menu -> About this Mac -> System Report/Pref). Get the device id and look it up on PCI database web site. If it's Intel, you'll have to change it by a comptaible card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
