pseudomaniac Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I bought an iMac 17, 2.4ghz core2duo, 4gb ram, 480gb hard drive lacking only keyboard and mouse off eBay for $200 shipped. It was well worth it vs the headache of getting this working properly and staying stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iciconnect Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Greetings. Great to find this forum! 15 year IT pro here, so hope to be able to contribute some, but relatively new to the underpinnings of the Mac OS. Speak Windows/UNIX/Linux very well though, so maybe someone can help translate. I have A D630/2.2 Core2/4GB/72GB SSD/Intel X3100. Used the SLD430USB image to build a bootable USB, and had to do the install with -x, because it would KP otherwise, but the install took. After the install completed, I ran Chameleon RC5 on the local SSD, and then ran the EDP 2.1. On the inital boot, keyboard and touchpad work fine. After EDP runs, and it doesnt seem to matter what I choose, the local key and touchpad are non-existent. USB based keybaord and mouse work fine. Even booting in -X, I get no local key and mouse. I have 1024x768 graphics. It's the funky Dell 1400x whatever widescreen resolution that I need to add. I have no audio. Wireless is working Bluetooth is working I don't believe local LAN works. USB works Optical works I am trying to understand the order/operations/file set/permissions adjustments/what files to use in order to: 1. Get my resolution working and have it boot properly. I tried another file I found and ended up with a funky display on a previous build attempt. Had to rebuild and start over. 2. Get my audio working. 3. Get my local NIC working 4. Get my onboard keyboard and touchpad working. I understand there are kexts and DSDTs and AMLs and all this, but I don't know how they correlate to what pieces yet. I'm savvy to the logic, I just need the breakdown, and some pointers on what will work with D630. I tried several guides to get Lion on the D630 initially, and none of the boot install environments were ever stable for more than a few minutes, but even then, unpredictable. Has anyone succeeded in upgrading a Snow Leopard working D630 to a Lion D630. I own a 17" MacBook Pro that shipped with SL, and have since purchased Lion to update. I have install media LEGALLY obtained for both because of this. I have a Windows Virtual Machine for XP and 7 I can work out of as well. Thanks for any help you can offer. Hope to return the favors and will document my progress. Wow, Hi... How did you manage to get the wireless working?? Was it the the stock wifi by Dell??
