if you can boot with single user mode at chameleon prompt which would be -s then do sbin/mount -uw / hit enter then cd Extra hit enter then ./edptool.command hit enter that should get you into the edp build..... then rebuild for your machine again

well, i guess some good news are in order.

i now have a fully functional D630 with both Lion and Win7.

For the longest time I was fighting with a native keyboard that

would not work. video stuck on 1024x768 and power management not working.

I also left it without Chameleon loaded onto the main partition

since last time I tried installing it, something went wrong

with the Win7 partition and it would not boot.

So, I let it sit there for a few days trying to decide what to do

next.

This morning I decided to once again start from scratch - create

a new pen, use latest of everything and see what I get - but,

I told myself - one last time, i would install Chameleon on the

main partition and play around with the various flags - nothing to lose,

right? backed up my plists and dsdt.aml, took a deep breath and -

installed Chameleon. I looked for the setup flags, could not find

Chameleon application anywhere, noticed that the install put a different

dsdt.aml in /Extra and proceeded to reboot.

Walla - everything works, keyboard, 1440x900 video (with all other options

available too), power management, wifi, audio

eathernet, trackpad and even my Windows install is still bootable.

Guess what I did next? I created an image file and stored it away :)

that sucker is not going anywhere anymore.

finally - phewwww

please don't ask me how I go here because i do not remember.

If anyone is interested, I can post my dsdt.aml, however, this

is a file that was updated somehow by installing Chameleon and it seems

to work wonders...and it is different in size than the hi-res dsdt.aml

that was circulating around here recently...

i don't think i have updated to 10.7.3 yet but I don't think i need to...

i guess now i can go on and download the xcode development environment

and try to get really dangerous with iphone app development which was

the reason i started doing this from the get go.

thanks all the nice people on this board who provided much needed help.

wow ovi.... what a long road you have taken.... I'm glad finally thing are working the correct way for you... but I'm sure you have learned a lot on your journey.... cheers mate.

'long road' - you have no idea :)

as for learning - i have, and it is invaluable.

BTW, having left it for so long, I forgot that I actually have 10.7.3.

I downloaded/installed xcode and I am ready to get cranking on apps development

i hope that will go just a wee bit easier...

again, thank you and the rest of the osxlatitude gang for

much needed help.

if any of you guys happen to drop by the SF bay area, give me a buzz

maybe we get together for coffee or something...

cheers!!

it only works for a short period of time

sometimes it happens even after I repair

 

it also repairs the exact same thing every time
