MyHack 3.3.1 10.7 Lion on Dell D420 USB Install problem

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:...

Please help :-)

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.

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 :-)

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
