ausec Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hello everyone. First of all, I am a completely newbie. I was trying to install Lion on my D430. I followed the tutorial about how to make a OS X Lion install stick. It boots but when the installation starts all it does is to show me 2 pictures and that's all it does. Does anyone knows what those pictures mean? First it shows this one: and after that, this one: It is alternating this pictures and I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Administrators Hervé Posted November 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2013 It means it's not detecting your keyboard and TouchPad. I guess you have a bluetooth module and the system is looking for BT input devices in preference of anything else -> disable BT in the BIOS. Alternatively, try to press [ENTER] or [sPACE] repeatedly, that often makes the installation resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausec Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks, Herve. I'll try it tonight and post the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausec Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks Herve, I managed to install Lion but the lag adapter isn't working. The adapter's MAC Address is set to 00.00.00.00.00.00. I don't have a clue if and how can I change it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2013 What's a "lag adapter"? Did you mean LAN port? That is fully supported from the onset with the OSXL bootpack... Are you installing Lion with myHack + our bootpack? Which BIOS do you have? Update to the latest (A09) if required and setup your BIOS parameters as suggested in the pinned thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausec Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello Herve, sorry it is the lan adapter. Lion with MyHack, Bootpack from OSX Latitude, BIOS is A09. Broadcom Netxtreme 5752 Adapter. I had the same issue on SL after the update to 10.6.8. Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well, I had a quick comparison and verification on my D430 since it has SL 10.6.8, Lion 10.7.5 and ML (MLPF) 10.8.4 installed on it. To my surprise, I too had a MAC address set at 00.00.00.00.00.00 under SL and Lion. It was Ok though under ML. I thought I'd take at look at the kexts to check if they were the same (from left to right, AppleBCM5751Ethernet under SL, L and ML): These are post-EDP kexts, I'll have to check the bootpacks, but one thing is sure: the 664Ko Universal kext seems troublesome whereas the 147Ko Intel kext is fine. 'looks like we have a small change to make to EDP, possibly to the bootpacks too. Thanks for raising this! I haven't asked, but is Ethernet working at all when the MAC @ is set to null (I would expect it not to)? NB: try the attached kext (Intel binary version from my ML installation) AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausec Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello. LAN isn't working, alltought System Informations is reporting that the drivers are installed, the Network Pane always says "No IP Address". I will tens it wit the kexts you provided and I'll get back to you. The weirdest thing is that the LAN Adapter is working perfectly under SL 10.6.3...

Administrators Hervé Posted November 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well, it would appear that newer SL releases and OS X do not like the Universal binary kext, only the Intel version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuutti8 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Mine SL get's the 00:00:00:00:00:00 error, every time. I have tried every kext I could find, from insanelymac, from tonycrap, from osx86.net and it just doesn't work. Neither of those kexts work with me...
