albert e Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Here is what I did. I replaced the dsdt.aml file in the Extra folder on the myhack usb and installed. I installed ML etc, booted, and ran EDP. EDP replaces the default extra folder so I moved the dsdt.aml from the backup one and put it in the new one. After restart it just bootloops. I had the same problem on my D830 nvidia ssytem a couple of weeks ago. But in your luck I searched the forum and I find a solution but I forgot where it is now; however I can the DSDT file to fix it (attached). I can confirm that his fix works on mine. You'll have better days after this:-). All you have to do is to unzip, rename the file to DSDT.aml, put it on Extra folder and voila.! BTW, you have to boot on an OS X system somehow to be able to do that; insert your ML disk as a USB drive and put the file. And the rests is easy. Okay, I'm not permitted to upload this, which was done in the first place by the other user, weird! Plan B, I'll try to search for the forum then. Update, only Admins can attached the file, ? and more ????; but anyway here's the link: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/897-d830-nvidia-black-screen-after-update-solved/ i just hope that the team update the workflow for D830 nvidia. If the operating system is Mountain Lion, they should put this file in the D830 nvidia bootpacks - to help other users. Just a wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athfd2p Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I am assuming I put that file in the Extra folder after I configure edp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted August 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2012 Dear ath, Yes. You put the Dsdt.aml into /Extra. P/s: Albert, you need to zip it first before you can upload. Conserve storage on our server Cheer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athfd2p Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Still boot looping...ugh. I think there is something else going on because this is seriously my 20th install. I get to the setup, run edp, move dsdt, install bootloader, restart then constantly boot loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athfd2p Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 When I boot from the myhack usb instead of directly from the hdd, I can boot so there is something with the bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your USB install disk, put the fixed DSDT.aml in the Extra file also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athfd2p Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Leopard and Snow Leopard never took this long to install nor had all the issues that is coming up with this haha. I got ML to install on my ASUS P5Q Desktop with the first try but my laptop is just frustrating me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athfd2p Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I installed a different bootloader, ran myfix for the usb on myhack, and now I am repairing disk permissions so maybe this will fix it so I can actually enjoy my hackintosh laptop instead of loathe it haha.
