Lost-Entrepreneur439 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 After the verbose, this system just shows a white square and nothing else. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 26 Administrators Share Posted October 26 I'd say the bootpack is totally inadequate for old Lion. I suggest/recommend you look up old threads with bootpacks for old and obsolete GMA950 computers. I doubt lilu & its PlugIns are of any use in Lion for old GMA950 graphics. SSDT-EC, that's for Catalina & later... Lion needs replacement of AppleACPIPlatform kext by that of Snow Leopard's origin or you'll get a KP. I expect you'll also need the patched AppleRTC kext and you may need the patch Intel (GMA) framebuffer kext to fix a brightness issue that used to affect most GMA950 Hacks. Lion need to boot in 32bit kernel mode or you won't have graphics acceleration but you know that and did setup OC in i386 kernel mode. I'd forget OpenCore and use good old Chameleon with myHack tool to make your USB installer. You're the one who published a version that was modified to run on macOS versions. Put an old AMD HD2000/3000/4000/5000/6000 series or nVidia Tesla series PCIe graphics card in this old desktop and you should be able to run OS X El Capitan. You may not do much with El Capitan but you sure won't do anything with Lion which is totally deprecated/obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost-Entrepreneur439 Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 I prefer building my EFIs myself, so I'd rather use my own EFI. I know i probably should switch to an older bootloader like Clover or Chameleon but I can't find any good guides for them. I do have a spare Radeon 2400 PRO laying around, and I did try it, but I couldn't get any form of acceleration in either El Capitan or Snow Leopard.

Lost-Entrepreneur439 Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 I managed to get it to boot with the Radeon HD 2400 PRO, however for acceleration I had to use Leopard. Snow Leopard and later I can't get acceleration. This really sucks, because theres normally people developing stuff for legacy OS's, this is how I was able to get away with using my D630 on Snow Leopard as a daily laptop for a while, however for Leopard there isn't anything. While there is some people developing for Leopard, it's all PowerPC only, and just crashes on Intel. If anyone has any ideas on how I could get at least Snow Leopard (or anything later) running, please let me know. I'm using AGPMInjectorHD2400.kext and Natit.kext to get acceleration in Leopard.

Lost-Entrepreneur439 Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 I generally work with the parts I already have, and the 2400 PRO is all I have. It's fine though, I'll just use Leopard on this system. It's not a daily use computer anyways, just a project box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
