Thund3rbolt Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 'haven't used SL for a while now, but great success wth Lion on D630 intel X3100. No issues whatsoever with various EDP versions (from v2.2 to various v3 and now v4). I managed to roll back to 10.6.7 successfully but had no luck with lion. I tried to use the extra driver pack for d630/lion and a copy of lion install from thumb but it reboots as soon as it starts to load the install. What am I missing? Herve would it be possible for you to zip your /extra folder and post it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Leon Posted October 6, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thunder, try and make a new usb pen using myhack + bootpack... guides here: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thund3rbolt Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks Leon! I'll try the myhack installer next week when I get back to work. I'd really like to be running lion as the shelf life of snow is nearing an end. Bronx - I was using the latest chameleon release 2.0 rel 4 I think. Noticed the change to as I just finished a hack onto a p5qse plus system last week. ( Great mobo for installing osx on.) Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving from Canada everyone!

Administrators Leon Posted October 6, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2012 Snow is great.. no doubt there.. but Lion is better.. also a bit slower.. atleast on the D430, but seeing that you are on the D630 then you shouldent notice it. If you one day upgrade your board to a Nvidia board, then you can even run Mountain Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thund3rbolt Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 So I thought I would try one last time to get 10.6.8 update to work in case it was a 1 off but the same problem after update. Basically won't boot unless I remove the voodoo battery kext and use a -v but even then it either locks or kp's within a minute or 2. See Photo: Any ideas on this one? edit: trying the update one more time. This time I have pre-installed edp 2.0 rev 4. **update -- Success! After pre-installing latest edp I was able to update to 10.6.8 without any issues. Not sure why it had to be pre-installed but it did. My guess is the system was so unstable after the update any further installs were corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
