Dell Latitude D810

Have you tried to disable speedstep from the HW side, in BIOS?

 

Sure I did try it, but this BIOS has the strangest behavior I ever see...

 

If I set the SpeedStep ON = The processor varies from 800MHz to 2.13GHz

If I set the SpeedStep OFF = The processor gets locked at 800MHz.

 

Isn't this inverted?

 

What I need to do (by modifying the bios I think, but I don't know how to) is:

SpeedStep set to OFF = The processor gets locked at 2.13GHz (this should be the correct behavior, right?)

 

Edit: I just realized that my system can now boot from GPT (it couldn't before I apply the customized BIOS from crc-error404)

I also found out why chameleon 2 didn't worked before, and this is how I did to make it work:

My HDD is partitioned as MBR, first partition is NTFS and second partition is HFSJ

 

This seems to me that Chameleon is made for GPT, and looks for its files on "disk0s2" (since disk0s1 is the EFI partition, and disk0s2 being the first usable disk) and that's why it didn't worked before, because I was using "disk0s1" as my Mac partition on MBR formatted drive.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me here!

I am quitting trying to run OSX on this laptop since it's too old and incompatible.

I will try again when I get an "not-so-old" laptop.

 

Thank you guys, crc-error404, simeonoff and Zeppo! :)
