I've just find out how to install OSX 10.10 on Dell Latitude E6400.My laptop Specs:Intel Core 2 Duo 2,8ghz 6mb cache4Gb DDR2 800mhz160GB HDDNvidia Quadro NVS 160m 256mbDisplay 1440x900Dell Wirelles 1510 cardWhat you will need:-OSX (On Virtual Machine F.E)-At least 8GB Pendrive-Nvidia Quadro NVS 160m Graphics Card-Yosemite DP1 (didn't try on DP2) NOT PUBLIC!What's Working:-Touchpad-AppStore-QE/CI (little lagy)-Wifi ( on 1510, I don't know what with others )-Bluetooth -Sound -Ethernet -Sleep Doesn't work: -Edit-You tell me Not tested:-VGA-Display PortPreparing Installation:Copy your Yosemite DP to /Aplications and RENAME IT to Install OS X 10.10 Developer Preview.appYou will need this Installer to simple prepare Yosemite installation - USB.pkg (file at the end of the post).Open USB.pkg; Click Next,Next,Next,Accept,Change you installation USB Flash Drive, and install It will take about 15min.Now you must download Extra boot usb Folder below.Navigate to your USB with Yosemite and delete the Extra folder (if it Exist there) and move there Extra boot USB folder that you download.IT'S IMPORTANT!EDIT THIS BELOW IN SMBIOS.PLIST IN EXTRA FOLDER WITH YOUR LAPTOP PARAMETERS! You must copy it to Desktop to make any changes and Remove it from Extra, and if you finish edit your own, copy it back to Extra folder <key>SMexternalclock</key> <string>267</string> - Procesor speed/Bus ratio f.e core speed 2800mhz/10.5 is around 266,(6) <key>SMmaximalclock</key> <string>2800</string> - CPU max speed <key>SMmemtype</key> <string>19</string> - Use this for DDR2 <key>SMmemspeed</key> <string>800</string> - memory speed in MHZ <key>SMcputype</key> <string>769</string> - Use this for Core 2 DuoMaybe it's Cosmetic thing but My laptop with Yosemite after this works like a charm :3 Without this edit, I had 1,6 Ghz Procesor and GUI performance was very slow. Use DiskUtility to fix disk permission.Boot OSX installation from your USB and Install OSX with -f -v flags.Format you Hard Drive to OSX journaled and make it GUID Partition.Install OSX to you Hard Drive.When It's done boot Your USB and select Hard Disc with -f -v flags.When you will end with Welcome Screens download and install Chameleon 2.2 r2391.pkg to your Hard Drive by clicking next.Navigate to root of your Hard Drive and if there will be Extra folder delete it and move Extra Folder from your USB to Hard drive. You can use kext utility to repair kext permission and restart system without any flags You can update Your system to DP5 using PKG Delta updates not from APPSTORE!You can find it here - https:// imzdl.com/osx.phpAnd at the end you can copy all of your /E/E kexts to /S/L/E and replace it Have Fun!Specialy thanks to Wern Apfel from InsanelyMac help a lot with Kexts, and Hervé for guide to get Yosemite to work -EDIT- FIX EXTRA BOOT SUCCESFULL-EDIT- ADD DellBluetoothHCI.kext TO EXTRA BOOTPACK -EDIT- Changed Smbios.plist to MACBOOKPRO 5,2 Best for AGPM, ADDED Intel82567.kext - Ethernet working now , Sound working too, you must select internal speakers in Preference Panel.

krzysztofc10 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 HI guys! Everything work perfect but You will need other Mac to install Chameleon on Your Hard driver because CHAMELEON WON"T INSTALL WITH OSX INSTALATION, So from that forum You need to download Chameleon (only chameleon not to create OSX installation ) and install it from any other MAC to your disk with installed Yosemity ALSO THE PARTITION TO INSTALLED YOSEMITY ON MUST BE GUID IN MASTER BOOT RECORD WON'T Install Now I will figure out what's going on with touchpad And then I will attach Extra Folder Cheers!

Administrators Hervé Posted June 12, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well, that's just cosmetic; the computer might actually still run at lower speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzysztofc10 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah ! Animation and perfomance is very poor but when Chameleon start booting OSX it actually display proper values If I will have some free time I will work on this Btw I get touchpad to work, Replace this kext and remove other. So you will have kext like in this picture. VoodooPS2Controller.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my bad English I hope that not only I want to make OSX 10.10 work like 10.8 on our Dell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2014 10.10's default nVidia kexts should support the NVS 160M natively (and I'm pretty sure they do). Most likely, your laptop has unsuitable SMBIOS/FakeSMC/boot plist settings. Your /Extra is probably not optimized at all; for instance, I see you have the DisableTurboBoostBattery kext which only applies to Core "i" CPUs, not C2D.
