Antoine Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi: First, thanks for all the work you've put into getting this stuff working! I have a Dell D630 (in excellent condition, bought cheaply from eBay/Dell Canada). BIOS is A18; Intel Crestline graphics 1440x900. I created a "boot stick" with myHack 3.1.2, using the appropriate EDP bootpack for Lion. I set the BIOS exactly as indicated on the forum post here. I get a Chameleon screen, but when it tries to boot, it panics, the backtrace ends at com.apple.driver.AppleAPIC. It also seems unhappy about org.voodoo.driver.PS2Controller, and something flashes by about an input stream. Any hints on what I might do? Or what I might tell you all to help me figure it out. As far as I can tell, the panic logs aren't kept anywhere. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybzqw Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 try 10.6.7 AppleACPIPlatform.kext,IOACPIFamily.kext,IOPCIFamily.kext to S/L/E 10.6.7.AppleACPIPlatform+IOACPIFamily+IOPCIFamily.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi, you should be Ok with bootpack for D630 Intel X3100 (1440x900). I assume this is the one you chose when running "install /Extra" from myHack. Which version of Lion are you trying to install? Is it the installer that's failing or your boot attempts following installation? If you have an Intel wireless card, disable wifi or take the card out.

Antoine Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 try 10.6.7 AppleACPIPlatform.kext,IOACPIFamily.kext,IOPCIFamily.kext to S/L/E Wow, you guys are fast! Thanks for the files -- I'll try them as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The installer "boot stick" fails -- can't get to the installer menus. The wireless card is a Sigmatel. I've tried disabling it, and turning off the mechanical switch. Same results.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2013 Haaaa, you haven't done your homework deep/long enough... You cannot install Lion 10.7.4 directly. Or you encounter problems. It's been mentionned several times on the forum before. You need a retail version like 10.7 or 10.7.2, at least something no higher than 10.7.3. Once you've installed one of those, our EDP tool will help you update to 10.7.5 smoothly, but, even then, make sure to download and use the "Combo update", do not update via Apple Menu -> Software update.

bobdamnit Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Also, SigmaTel makes audio cards, not wireless cards. So something tells me that they did NOT make your wireless card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Also, SigmaTel makes audio cards, not wireless cards. So something tells me that they did NOT make your wireless card. Doh! You're right -- I was reading the wrong line in the BIOS. It's Broadcom. I'm not willing to remove it, though, because the machine came with XP Pro, which is very stable and I can read my email nicely with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdamnit Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If its a Broadcom card, you should not have to remove it. 90% of them work out of the box for OS X. Maybe the USB stick is corrupt. Try re-making the myHack USB installer again and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2013 It's not corrupt, it just won't install Lion post 10.7.3 directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
