humzaahmed155 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have an issue with my D630, with the Crestline X3100 graphics, 1280x800 display. I've changed all my BIOS settings to match someone else's who managed to get OS X to work. I made my OS X installer USB using MyHack, I also used the Extra folder for the Low Res model. Upon booting, its a hit or miss: sometimes the laptop hangs on the Apple logo completely (during a normal boot, no errors in verbose mode either), and sometimes it hangs at the 18 minutes remaining mark during installation, the disk activity is immediately cut off. I used a retail OS X 10.8.5 DMG with MyHack. Any suggestions as to how I can fix the hanging? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 29, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2014 try without AppleACPIPlatform.kext also x3100 graphics are 32bit only but there is no support for it in that version of osx also the kernel is 64bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. I'll delete that kext. Also, I booted using arch=x86_64. Did I do that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humzaahmed155 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Use the special guide based on the MLPF hack. Where is that? I can't find it. Also, how do I enable C-States on the D630? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 29, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2014 The guide is the "Supported models with guides" section of the forum. P & C states are enabled through Chameleon. Use the Chameleon Wizard. In fact, look for the thread and article about performance tuning and you'll find all you need to tune your D630. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's going to help me a lot along the way, I haven't gotten anywhere near that step yet I get to about step 3 on Phase 1 and the installer freezes. Sometimes during the installation, sometimes during the Apple logo/verbose boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've replaced my Intel card with a spare Dell 1397 WiFi card. Will now double-check the BIOS values. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've double checked the BIOS settings, they're exactly the same as the one on the pinned post. Any other ideas? Should I try Lion instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
