OSX Lion on D630

[RobertB]

devious, I tried your pack (at least I think I got the right link), and it seems to give me same results as edp 2.1, I have a keyboard that works, but no mouse at all (without a usb one plugged in). any thoughts?

 

Did you do something special or did the start/setup work for you as standard with the Myhack?

As you can see mine halts once the pointer is on the gray screen and then I have the rainbow color wheel.

Also the line of devious did not do it for me.

 

thanks,

did you shut off the wifi for install in the bios?

Bronxtech,

 

Thanks for this now it works.

Hello again guys!

 

As for now it seems that I'm getting a GMA-equipped D630 with the specs below:

 

T7500 @ 2.2GHz

2x2GB DDR2

250GB HDD

GMA X3100 (res: 1440x900)

 

I decided that I'd like to install Lion if I buy it. What would work ant what wouldn't? Somebody mentioned some problems with the GMA VGA in the other topic, but he didn't write what actually it is. Which I do know, that it supports QE/CI and brightness control is working. What isn't working then?

Other quite important question: I didn't find what make of WiFi cards are working with OS X. Can you help me out with that?

 

Besides that, everything seems quite simple and straightforward (except for getting a working Mac somewhere to create the bootable USB-drive).

These Kexts work with Lion Perfectly in 32 and 64bit mode

 

PS2 Lion Kexts.zip

 

they seem to load fine, but they aren't being used.

 

I have keyboard and usb mouse (albiet, Lion doesn't seem to know there's a keyboard so insists on trying to pair with bluetooth one), I see 3 PS2 kexts loaded (via kextstat), but only PS2Controller seems to be used (has a reference of 1), all the others seem to not be used (reference of 0), and they also load quietly (nothing in dmesg log).

 

thoughts?

So, I have 2 hard disks.

 

1 80GB. Lion works fine with edp (though edp seems to force it to be arch=i386?)

1 750GB. I had to play games with efi partition to get it boot (per other thread).

 

I'm thinking the EFI partition is the reason I'm having issues. I tried copying over the chameleon boot plist file over to the EFI partition's /Extra directory. Chameleon sees it (as it impacts what happens on boot), but doesn't seem to make much of a difference in terms of hardware support. I'm thinking there is probably more files that have to be copied over to it (DSDT?) will play around more later.

as a further update, I've moved the Extra folder that worked on the 80GB HD to my myHack usb disk and it now has a working laptop keyboard/mouse. Unsure why it isn't working on the 750GB disk. Pondering if it's cause its formated ms dos, not hfs+. (And by it, I mean the EFI partition)

and final update. Reformated EFI partition as HFS+. Reinstalled Chameleon via the pkg on EFI with all the optionable installable stuff (theme, libs...).

 

Now, everything seems to work fine. Don't have wifi yet, but that's because the card I ordered hasn't arrived, but ethernet works fine.

 

I guess now I wait for EDP 2.2 to update to 10.7.2

What wifi card did you have in there when you started, and what did you order? I may end up having to do the same thing but wasn't sure which one was viable at this point.
