Mahesh Kondraju Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi, Am getting few requests & personal messages as how to install Lion on Dell Inspiron 1525. So here am starting a thread with instructions for a successful install. Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7.0 on Dell Inspiron 1525: 1. Firstly make sure u get a bootable Retail Mac OS X Lion DVD and install the Mac OS X System & then reboot into windows (Guessing windows already installed and in use) 2. Reason for logging into windows is snow or lion freezes without DSDT.aml in place ( you may also face this problem while installing lion so place DSDT.aml in root of the bootable usb drive or DVD before burning u can do this using transmac) 3. Install macdrive 8 4. then place DSDT.aml into snow or lion root partition 5. Now unrar 10.6.8 or 10.7.0 kexts for DELL 1525 archive and copy Extra folder and paste it into ur snow or lion root partition and replace & overwrite everything. 6. restart the system and boot into snow or lion 7. Now install 10.7.2 combo update, after successful install do not restart force quit the installer from apple menu. 8. Delete intelcpupowermanagement.kext and intelcpupowermanagementclient.kext present in system/library/extensions and then clear the caches present in System/library/Caches, most important step is to delete kernelcache 9. Now use kext utility.app from my utility apps folder and move it to desktop, now drag and drop all kexts in s_l_e folder of the kext pack onto this kext utility app on the desktop and it installs automatically 10. now finally use smcK-stat-i.app to monitor ur system heat and optionally u can use pstate menu to sppedstep the system and finally install latest chameleon bootloader and champlist and in champlist navigate it to the path of DSDT, SMBIOS and org.chameleon.boot.plist and restart. thats it all done hopefully u can dual boot both mac os x and windows cheers, Mahesh Kondraju DSDT.rar 10.6.8 or 10.7.0 KEXTS for DELL 1525.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you help me on this Regards Deepak Hi Deepak, Sorry for a late reply, well i dont have a webcam in my dell inspiron 1525 and i guess u seems to be using my DSDT thats the reason y ur not able use ur webcam. Extract ur DSDT from windows using DSDTSE and locate ur webcam device and its code and paste it in currently using DSDT.dsl, compile and generate an new DSDT.aml hopefully it works.

Thanks ! Hi Baltieri, just use a mac os x lion retail bootable iso dvd, if it freezes while installing try to place the DSDT.aml in the root of the dvd using transmac and then burn it to DVD. hopefully it works. if ur still finding problems then i recommend u to intall snow leopard first, u can use the iFail s3 v2.

Mahesh Kondraju Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 QE/CI and sleep dont work on my dell 1525 lion,please help,thanks. QE/CI definitely works with the DSDT just make sure u boot into 32 bit, as 64 bit intel X3100 kexts doesnt have graphics Acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
