E6410 with nVidia NVS 3100M graphics - Mountain Lion Guide

Oh okay,

 

Sorry; I didn't understand your previous post very well..

 

First, if you've downloaded the Mountain Lion installer after 8/24/2012, you need to use the E6410 ML 10.8.1.zip with the guide.

 

Once you have made your USB Installer, since you are on intel graphics, try and delete the AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext from System/Library/Extensions by doing the following:

  1. On a working mac/hackintosh with your USB Installer plugged in, open the flash drive to reveal its contents in Finder
  2. Open the System folder
  3. Open the Library folder
  4. Open the Extensions folder
  5. Delete AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext by dragging it to the Trash from Finder
  6. Delete AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext by dragging it to the Trash from Finder
  7. Use Kext Wizard to repair permissions and rebuild caches (Open Kext Wizard, Navigate to the "Maintenance" tab in the bar at the top, select the USB Installer from the drop-down, select /Extra and /System/Library/Extensions (all check boxes should now be checked), and then click Execute)
  8. Eject your USB Installer from the working mac/hackintosh and try booting to the installer on your E6410 (press F12 at the Dell logo screen/BIOS to enter the One time boot menu and then select the USB Storage Device from the list

 

Let me know if you have anymore questions

 

 

Hi Patel,

I too have IntelHD graphics and downloaded my Mountain Lion yesterday from the App Store, so have also downloaded the 10.8.1 myhack, E6410 ML 10.8.1.zip.

 

I have followed your initial guide and above suggestion to the T and still get the same problem as before - The machine starts to boot, i see the grey screen with Apple logo, then the activity light on the USB stops and a minute or so later I get a circle with a line through it appear over the top section of the apple logo, where it hangs until I turn off the machine.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thx

J

Great guide!

My E6410 boot succesfully into OS X ;)

 

Just 1 things: OS X boot successfully but it takes something like 5-6 minutes before i can put my password to login (login screen appears after 1 minute but mouse and keyboard starts working after 5 mins)

 

Any suggestion?

Hey Yorkshire_Jon,

 

At the bootloader/screen where you see the hard drive icons, can you please hover over the partition/disk with Mountain Lion and type "-v" (without quotes) and then enter? Then, all you need to do is post the last few lines that it hangs at here.

Hi katta,

 

Did you install the chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) bootloader during the setup?

 

Also, what are your machine's specifications (ex. CPU, Graphics, etc.)?

OK, so I did the -v thing and it showed many pages of files it was reading and loading on a grey screen, then it went to a black screen with a heap of white text.

The last page read something like:

 

AppleIntelE1000e(Info): changing MTU from 0 to 1500

AppleIntelE1000e(Info): AppleIntelE1000e:WOL = 2

USBF: 14.127 AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff800aaa1000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0x1d, timing out! (Addr:4, EP: 0)

Above repeats (different xx.yyy numbers) several times and then...

A new line showing "Still waiting for root device" appears every 30s or so.

 

Hope thats of help!.

That definitely is a lot of help! But next time, after you see Still waiting for root device, you can shut down :-)

 

Anyway, try using the patched kexts for 10.8.1 from the first post using kext wizard, and then run a myFix (Full) on the flash drive. I may have uploaded the wrong e6410 ml 10.8.1.zip which doesn't contain those two kexts...

 

Please let me know how that works for you.
