Target OS X release:

  • Mavericks 10.9.4

Installation fully successful with myHack v3.3.1 and attached Latitude E6420 bootpack on a SATA 6.0Gbps SSD partitioned GUID, formatted Mac OS X (journaled) and connected to a USB port (because BIOS was found locked with HDD set to RAID mode and I don't have the unlocking password). Initial build with 10.9.1, followed by 10.9.4 Combo update. This particular model is 100% operational as far as I can see, a most excellent Hackintosh throughout.

Working:

  • full QE/CI with HD3000 on 1600x900 LCD (with patched DSDT)
  • VGA output (with patched Intel SNB FrameBuffer)
  • HDMI output OOB
  • keyboard backlight & backlight control OOB
  • trackPad + nub
  • LCD brightness control OOB
  • full audio (with patched AppleHDA)
  • built-in Gigabit Ethernet (with AppleIntelE1000 kext)
  • Bluetooth OOB
  • display & system sleep/wake (sleeps Ok through active corner or energy savings setup) - set hibernate mode to 0 (sleep to RAM)
  • wireless with compatible mini PCIe card/USB dongle (I used a Lafalink LF-12 USB dongle with Ralink's driver v4.2.910)
  • battery management & monitoring (with VoodooBattery kext)
  • native SpeedStep (with patched AICPUPM kext and Kozlek's FakeSMC + SMBIOS tuned up for MBP8,1/SMC keys 1.68f99/smc-huronriver)
  • TurboBoost to x29 2.90GHz (with tuned-up SSDT)
  • all USB ports
  • jack & HDMI audio output
  • SD card reader (with DSDT patch or patched VoodooSDHC kext)

Not tested yet:

  • ExpressCard

Not working:

  • CD/DVD drive: SATA device does not appear to be detected/recognised (side effect of BIOS SATA mode set to RAID?)

 

GeekBench 2.4.3 (32bit) gives a good 6000+ rating:

Everything in the pack below:

 

:!:  :!:  :!: Other E6420 laptops fitted with same graphics hardware config (GPU + Screen) but different CPU will require a different and suitable SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with SSDT generator tool -> See RampageDev's blog for detailed guide). In such cases and in order to avoid CPU power management-related kernel panics (KP), NullCPUPowerManagement kext is probably required until the CPU-specific SSDT is generated. The kext just needs to be added to /Extra/Extensions followed by myHack->myFix (quick).
