vz90954 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hey, i installed Mac 10.6 from a retail DVD - afterwards i upgraded to 10.6.8 combo. the installation went without errors (at least i think). i have sound, BT, mouse and KB working good. the only issue is, i don't have network. no LAN and no WIFI. i tried to install EDP but it doesn't work without network connection. can anyone help me with this?

Administrators Hervé Posted August 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2013 Well, I guess you did not do your installation with OSXL's bootpack (maybe you used a distro?). Use our bootpack or extract the Broadcom kext that's in it and you'll have LAN at least. For wireless, well it depends entirely on the card you have. Look at the non-exhaustive inventory we've made in the R&D->Hardware->Network section. You may or may not need a kext, but it sounds like you need one. Remember that Intel cards are not supported.

vz90954 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Honest i'm not an expert I used the D620SLV1 iso to boot into the installaion, and now i use it to boot the installed OS. I tried to boot from the booloader that EDP installs, but it boots to a black screen. Is there a way to make this work? with the D620SLV1 it boots perfect I somehow managed the LAN (but no wifi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vz90954 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 And if i may add a final question, can the Dell D620 work with a higher version? if so, is there a guide for dummys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2013 Look at our EDP pages on the web site, you'll find everything you need: installation guide, compatibility charts and bootpacks. What you've used is somehow obsolete nowadays... Bear in mind that you cannot run EDP the way you did as it is meant to be run on Mac OS X installations done with myHack. Running it on that obsolete installation you did will indeed cause issues. All D620 will run Snow Leopard or Lion without issue (in 32bit kernel mode). For ML guides, look at the forum section called: Supported Models with Guides. You need a special hack called MLPF to get ML to run on those (normally unsupported) laptops.

vz90954 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I tried to do it according to the guide, but once i boot it, i get the bootloader, but once i choose the installation disc, it only does show 3 or 4 lines and gets back to the bootloader. It is too fast to read the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2013 For SL, you should use myHack 3.1.2, not v3.2 which does not support SL properly. Then, after SL installation, you should immediately update your Chameleon to v2248 which fixes an issue with 32bit systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vz90954 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks. Stupid question - how do i upgrade the Chameleon? do i need to enter any command in the bootloader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2013 You can simply use Chameleon Wizard. The latest version is 4.2.2 and you can download it off the Net. In the Install tab, select the target version (v2248 or above), select your target HDD partition and click install button at the bottom. You may have to boot via your USB installation key to get into SL and download/run Cham Wizard, but you'll get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
