jd_guthrie Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I've had a desktop hackintosh that was custom built for the past 4 years. I've recently sold that machine and bought an iMac. My employeer is providing me with a Dell E6530. I want to run dual boot OSX ML. Here are the specs. i5-3340M Nvidia 5200M Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Wireless card I see a bootpack for this machine but it's running an i7 3520 but with the same graphics card. Is the DSDT processor specific? I would guess not unless it has been modified in some way for speedstep. Any input would be helpful. This will be my first laptop hackintosh. Thanks.

I don't believe this particular DSDT is CPU specific. You'll have to generate your own SSDT for your CPU. Try it and post back for help here if you encounter any issue.

iMick Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You can install with our bootpack. (Just follow our documentation). But don't install EDP itself! Wait there and contact Dinesh, through the DSDT / SSDT topic, in the DSDT section of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait there and contact Dinesh, through the DSDT / SSDT topic, in the DSDT section of the forum. Please forgive my ignorance. I'm all to familiar with tonycrapx86's tools for running a hackintosh but no so much with this website's. What is the difference between the bootpack and the EDP? I've downloaded the bootpack and found a lot of familiar folders and files. What does the EDP do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kext works for internal mouse and keyboard. Also make sure to boot your USB Installer on the USB 2.0 port, should be on the left rear corner. Report back your progress. Edit: Sorry forgot the attachment ApplePS2Controller.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
