my laptop lcd works no problems.

 

Hi,

 

what kind of boot loader do you use? Which GFX card do you use? Internal HD4600 or AMD 8970m ?

I was trying to make ATI Personalities make work for the AMD 8970m, but i failed extracting the rom file.

Does anybody know how to extract the AMD 8970m rom file?

 

- GPU-Z doesn't show up a version string on Windows 8.1.

- A simple dos boot with atiflash.exe will not find any GFX card.

 

Kind regards

Hello,

sorry, I'm new.

I just bought a E6540 and would like to install on the second drive through this adapter (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3&products_id=534) Maverick OSX.

Can you tell me the steps by step to try to install the operating system on the E6540 MAVERICK (including where to download it)?

Many thanks.

You can read about it here. You can download Mavericks from the app store.

Thanks for the quick response. 
I'm sorry but I need more informations, To step 10 of the preinstallation steps I read about to choose the bootpack to complete the installation. 
What bootpack I have to use for the E6540?
Greetings.

There isn't a boot pack for it if you have read this entire post, it's still in research/development. For starters, you can list your specs and we could go from there.

  • CPU? Don't just list I7 or I5, list the exact cpu as there's lot of different I7 or I5
  • Display resolution?
  • Does it have Optimus? Nvidia with Intel or just Intel HD 4600?

Intel wifi will need to be replaced. What device/vendor is the audio?

Check in the BIOS...

 

Update:

Looks like Dell has move away from IDT and now uses Realteck. From the specs I check, this uses ALC3226 in BIOS but shows ALC292 when dump from linux.

Please try this patched file by Mirone attachicon.gifAppleHDA.kext.zip

and add this to your DSDT

                DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                Return (Local0)
            }
        }

 

I'm not the kind of person 
you want to see your name written all 
sides, but please give the credits.
