Recommended Posts

Hi Herve I am very curious how the installation goes with you . I am still struggling with my D830 and booting from the hard drive. Looking forward to see in detailed handout to make mavericks works for me also

To overcome the problem of the broadcom wireless card i bought in China over the good old internet  an usb wireless stick  works perfectly on ML and Mavericks

Greets..

Herve-

I have the mach_kernel and dragged it to my desktop. I was able to get it off the installer as you noted.

I cant drag it to the root of the drive cause it says " The item"mach_kernel" cant be replcaced because it's invisble.

Have you see that before.

I figured it out. I had to unhide all the files.

 

In terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder

 

Found that the mach_kernel file was in there.

 

Here is a copy of my Chameleon boot plist (in /Extra). Does this look correct?

Yes I was able to boot.. Thanks for the help on that one.

 

Herve- I tried following your guide on getting the wifi to work, I see the wifi icon on my task bar, but if i click it, the mouse shows busy.

I have done the terminal server stuff as well. Any ideas.

Broadcom BCM4311 [14e4:4311] corresponds to a DW1390 and that is supported OOB with SL, L, ML or Mavericks. What guide of mine are you referring to here? You should be able to connect to your wireless network without any particular action other than select the desired network (and maybe specify a security key if required).
