skyswimmer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Dell Latitude E6430 Hey all, i have a Dell Latitude E6430 that I'm hoping to OS X the heck out of it, as I'm I'm a music artist who needs to get recording again, for my sanity sake - music is my therapy and saves me a huge bill in the shrinks office Not to mention its also a career & legacy that i have a pure passion for, but times as they have it don't permit me to go out and buy a 2grand worth of mac so i come to you to help me transform my 400euro notebook into one. . . Its all about the Logic behind things. . . . My Music DAW (digital audio workstation) was always "Logic", i used it back on pc until 2004/2005 when that bleedin chap Steve Jobs took it from Emagic, made it Mac only & nearly put me out of my job, and i lived in a town called Jobstown (i actually did at the time) So to use Logic again i need OS X, its the missing part of my home studio, and so i pray to whoever will listen to help me Ive trolled this cool well structured jam packed site for a couple of years and tried hackbooking my E6430, but never quite succeeded, that was back on a Mountain lion. Now i decided to ask some of the enthusiastic members here for your assistance for a tour guided walk around Yosemite park, i realise you all have your own life & time is precious, so ill try not to waste a minute of it should you be so good to spare some for helping me! Following Jake Lo's well written Yosemite E6xxx/E7xxx guide i made a USB installer with Extra folder which contained goodies he provided such as smbios.plist, DSDT for my model, an SSDT generator i successfully made a Yosemite 10.10.5 USB Installer particular to my machine & i installed Yosemite. Problem: After restart after initial install, I'm stuck at a black screen. But there is always the same strings/messages right before it happens, see [Photo 1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyswimmer Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hey all, im still here, after hours of trying to get to post install, no luck, i reinstalled twice more, remade my USB installed again to make sure i did it correct, i still get the above message before hanging on a black screen, trying switches -v - f, -s, GraphicsEnabler=No, none make a difference.

skyswimmer Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Well after a couple of days of trial and error, and hitting a brick wall more than once, I'm thrilled to say that i finally have a fully functioning OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 working on my Dell Latitude E6430 with ssdt, QE/CI on my dedicated gpu Nvidia NVS 5200, and audio. This is all thanks to Jake Lo's brilliantly put together guide & the man himself because he assisted me with every obstacle i came up against, thanks for sparing your time for a total stranger its much appreciated, now i can get down to some music recording & play with Logic pro for the first time in years, oh yeah https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-e6xxxe7xxx-yosemite-install-guide/ And thanks to OSXLatitude for a all info thats provided here.
