estreichj Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi, hope someone can help with my issue. Trying to install OS X 10.7 onto my Dell Latitude D420 using USB made from MyHack 3.3.1, 10.7 Lion dmg and EXTRAS bootpack for my model (Latitude D420 Dual Core for OS X 10.7 http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D4x0-lion.zip ). Basically I build the 10.7 USB installer & added the Extras & Run MyFix. When I boot the USB installer, I have selected various bootflags inc -x -v & -f without success. I always get to the point shown below (see attached) then the screen goes blank (grey background with no text) & the OS X install doesn't start. Starting Darwin x86 Boot Args:... UHCI controller... UHCI controller... UHCI controller... UHCI controller... EHCI controller... Setting Legacy USB Off on controller [8086:27cc] at 00:1d.7 Legacy USB Off Done Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estreichj Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Has Broadcom wifi card so OK. Will disable bluetooth & retry PS I also have a WWAN card (3g) installed. Should I remove/disable this as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2014 can't hurt to shut it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2014 You have a 32bit Core Duo U2500 CPU, not a 64bit Core 2 Duo CPU. Lion needs 64bit Core 2 Duo minimum, so you can't actually install it on that D420. You are therefore limited to Snow Leopard unfortunately. See the following old thread on same matter: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1373-lion-on-d420-core-2-duo/ When D420/D430 laptops are fitted with a Core 2 Duo CPU, that is clearly reflected in the BIOS Setup Processor Info page. This is not the case with your model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estreichj Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks guys for your clearing this up. I have already done an install of Snow Leopard which has installed fine and boots the OS (only issues atm are sound appears disabled after EDP update & Sleep not working - but haven't set System password yet - from https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2350-bios-settings-d420-core-duo/ Cheers from Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2014 No particular issues for audio or sleep on those little laptops, so it's just a matter of selecting the right pack in EDP. Just don't use myHack v3.3.1 for Snow Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estreichj Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ok thanks will try different audio pack in EDP. Qtn - do I still need to set the system password from the above post for Sleep to work? I would prefer NOT to have the pw enabled if at all possible Yes already built with my hack 3.1.2 after some reading about 3.3.1 & Snow Leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
