chapolote Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In the compatibility-list for Yosemite the latitude d630 is shown as fully compatible. This laptop is even older then the m4300, so what is the point that the m4300 is shown as not compatible at all? Is there any way to get yosemite work on m4300? Thanks for any reply, chapolote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2014 M4300 is compatible in the same manner as D630 nVidia and D830 nVidia are too; same generation and family of products (M4300 only differs from D830 by its GPU) so it's common sense... Just follow the usual process with a Clover-based or Chameleon (r2401) USB installer. Don't take the chart for granted, it's not up to date.

Administrators Hervé Posted December 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2014 You can use the same process as detailed for D630 or E6440 to manually create your Yosemite USB installer on which you can directly install Chameleon r2401 for instance (and thereby avoid Clover). You then create a folder /Extra in which you copy the M4300 ML or Mav bootpack (for DSDT + boot plist + SMBIOS plist); I've posted them a few times in this forum. The kexts from /E/E will have to be copied to /S/L/E directly (no myHack tool to take care of that). https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6731-d630-nvidia-yosemite/&do=findComment&comment=40833 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7387-dell-latitude-e6440-with-i5-4300m-hd4600-and-1600x900-lcd-mavericksyosemite/page-2&do=findComment&comment=45123 Upon installation, you'll have to manually do the same again knowing that the kext cache will have to be rebuilt with the following Terminal commands: sudo chmod -R 755 /S/L/E sudo chown -R 0:0 /S/L/E sudo touch /S/L/E sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
