Administrators Hervé Posted March 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2013 You have to make sure the DSDT fits your own hardware, otherwise, you'll have issues. Try and boot with option: DSDT=No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11bravo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Gave that a try, still stops at PCI configuration. Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2013 Please post your specs + OS X version. If your system was booting before adding a DSDT + a Voodoo kext, then try and remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted March 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well, I can only advise to follow what was recommended in the E6400 ML installation threads: 1) Mountain Lion Anyone? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1617-mountain-lion-anyone/ 2) Mountain Lion on E6400 in 5 steps https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1764-mountain-lion-on-e6400-in-5-steps/ PS: Please avoid multiple threads to report a same problem multiple times.

11bravo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 UPDATE: TO get it to finally boot I had to remove the HD from teh laptop and plug it in VIA dongle on another machine running OSX on a VM. Once I had teh HD mounted I then I had to remove the following kexts (0EDP.Kext.zip, dsdt-mariuz.aml.zip,VoodooBattery.kext.zip and VoodooHDA.kext.zip) Now it will boot into OSX as normal but my graphics are a little flaky, I'm assuming this is because I removed a Voodoo kext. What My pan of action now is to Fu mMy hack again and run MyFix, then I'll re-rerun and install the updated Extra's folder...Hopefully all will be back to normal.

11bravo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 UPDATE to my UPDATE: After scouring the forums for edited or proper kexts to fix my graphic issues I rolled the dice and decided to just update to 10.8.3. I did a backup of course prior too, once it installed everything is back to normal now and I'm running 10.8.3 just fine with no issues as of this post.
