kallumama Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have a dell d820. I dont see an option to change "Sata operation" to AHCI in the bios. Do you think I can install mac os x on it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2013 No such BIOS option on those D620/D820 models, no. For the rest, look up EDP pages for compatibility table and bootpack, you'll have your answer... You could also browse the forum section dedicated to D8xx models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallumama Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I have a dell latitude D820 with intel 945GM I tried the installer with Extra from http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-intel-lion.zip but got this kernel panic. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallumama Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I tried the boot pack for "Dell Latitude D620, Intel GMA950 graphics (1280x800)" from http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/compatibility/. I thought it would be a good match as my display is 1280x800 as well but the installer crashed as well. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you used myHack3.2, there's an issue booting in 32bit mode. You can either make a new installer with myHack3.1.2 or try and boot the existing one with option: arch=x86_64. After installation is done, you'd have to do the same thing until you update to Chameleon v2248 or later. Please read Announcements&News + EDP Bugs section, the issue is well detailed there. It's obviously not visible enough since people keep asking this same thing on and on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallumama Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks Herve. I did use myHack 3.2 beta 8. I will read the announcements and try your idea. Should I use the bootpack for "Dell Latitude D620, Intel GMA950 graphics (1280x800)" or http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-intel-lion.zip?

Administrators Hervé Posted September 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 20, 2013 Use the D820 pack, unless it causes you issue, but I would not think so. Only then may you use the D620 pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kallumama Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 The D820 pack worked for me and I have a functional system now. - audio/wifi is not working. - display is 1024x768. It should be 1280x800. I know I will have to change the wifi card to a supported card. I will read the forums over the weekend to get the audio/display working THANKS Herve.
