romanboy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hey all, I've been lurking for a few weeks now, reading a lot of the information already posted. I've got a D630, and I'd like to install Lion 10.7 on it. I downloaded myHack 3.3.1 (well done on getting the website back up), and got my 10.7 installer from the Mac App Store. I then used myHack to create a USB installer. I've setup the BIOS exactly as per the instructions already posted here. However, when booting the installer, I cannot see the internal Hard Drive. The SATA operation mode is definitely set in AHCI mode. The BIOS can see the 500 GB HDD, but the OS X installer cannot. What shall I do next to get this working? Many thanks in advance for your help, romanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 31, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2014 Maybe you've used the wrong boot pack. What's in your /Extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jruschme Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Does Disk Utility (on the Installer disk) see the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanboy Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Disk utility doesn't see the drive. Only sees DVD drive and USB boot drive. I've made a standard installer from myHack. I'm not home at the moment but I'll post up my /Extra when I get in. Another thing I did last night before sleep is download the boot pack for 10.7 and used myHack to add the /Extra on the boot drive. Now I can't boot the installer. I'll just make the installer again and let you know of the contents of /Extra. Thanks for the help so far, I'll post up when I get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanboy Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) OK, so in /Extra I have: AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext FakeSMC.kext lspcidrv.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext Last time I posted I mentioned that I downloaded the D630 Lion boot pack, and installed it via myHack via "Install Extra. This made the HDD hang, and stop booting half way through. I since installed the generic Extra from within myHack, and the installer boots perfectly again. I still can't see my internal hard drive though. What can I try next? Edit: Removed Extensions: AppleGraphicsControl.kext AppleTyMCEDriver.kext AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext Edited July 31, 2014 by romanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 31, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2014 You need the AppleACPIPlatform kext v1.3.5 aka EDP's "CoolBook fix", at least with 10.74/10.7.5. Which version are you installing? No need for NullCPUPowerManagement. Native AICPM is supported with appropriate FakeSMC + SMBIOS & boot plists. You'll find all about it in R&D section of the forum and in the Articles section of the web site. Hint: look at the very bottom of your browser page's when in the forum...

romanboy Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm installing 10.7.5, using myHack 3.3.1 Where do I get AppleACPIPlatform kext v1.3.5 aka "CoolBook fix" in EDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilio Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi! I'm owner of Dell Latitude D630, Intel x3100 (1280x800) and I have the same problem with 10.7.5 OS X instalation. I followed the instruction on http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/pre-installation/ , downloaded and executed myHack application, downloaded Bootpack (Dell_Latitude_D630_Intel-lion.zip) but myHack didn't ask me a question to put on the flash drive my custom D630 Bootpack. Thus, 1st - i made usb with GUID support and standard myHack Extra folder. 2nd - i replaced standard myHack Extra folder to Extra folder from Dell_Latitude_D630_Intel-lion.zip. 3d - i made usb with MBR support and replace standard myHack Extra folder to Extra folder from Dell_Latitude_D630_Intel-lion.zip. But i cant see my HDD on instalation process in any of this combinations, i see only DVD and flash drive. What a have to do to install 10.7.5 on my D630 ? p.s. Bios settings also was made like this https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1868-bios-settings-d630/ p.p.s romanboy, do you fix this problem?

Administrators Hervé Posted August 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2014 Add the attached kext to your /Extra/Extensions folder (on USB installer and/or target HDD) and run myFix (quick). Then report back please. AppleACPIPlatform.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
