Justin C. Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I am new to this and have read several guides about installing OS X onto Dell PCs. My question is how do I install with this laptop. My specs are: Intel Core i5 2nd gen processor Intel HD 3000 Dell Wireless 1501 card Toshiba Q-series SSD 1366X768 resolution display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2015 DW1501 is not supported, will need to be replaced. for Yosemite guide, see here. Bootpack on post #2 use Exx20 but replace dsdt with E5420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin C. Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the speedy reply, I also have a Dell wireless 1395 on hand, will that work? It will fit in my WWAN port and work the same as the WLAN. I will begin on this project next weekend. I am just gathering information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 Look up the wireless card inventory in the relevant R&D->Hardware section of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2015 Did you use the bootpack Exx20 rename to Extra and the DSDT.aml from E5420 folder? NullCPUPowermanagement is already included. Boot with -v -f and post your error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
