griftopia Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Folks, I believe I have all compatible parts for Mac OS Yosemite, but before I change the Wifi Card and Blue Tooth card, I need to get to Disk Utilities. Trying to get Yosemite it working on my Inspiron 1720. I could try El Capitan too I think, but right now I cannot get past Kernel Panics. If I remove the battery I get a little bit ahead but still get kernel panic ultimately. I think I patched my DSDT correctly for my CPU / Mainboard and have attached it. Appreciate any help. Here are the specs: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5 Ghz Mainboard 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) 4GB DDR2 NVidia GeForce 8400M GS 128MB Appreciate any help. dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2016 You need to be more specific about the KP. A screen shot would be better. What boot loader are you using? Clover or Chameleon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2016 Core2Duo, ICH8 I/O controller, GeForce 8400M GS. These are similar specs as the D630. You should have no problem installing Yosemite or El Capitan. What patches did you apply to your DSDT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griftopia Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sorry I should have taken pictures of the kernel panics. Problem is the kernel panic was not consistent and I was trying a few things. So I started off by extracting DSDT, looked in CPU-z and saw I had ICH8 mainboard. Searched on google and found patches for ICH8. I've attached them here and they are already in the DSDT I attached earlier. If someone can let me know obvious errors, I can then try again with any fixed DSDT I receive or can create, and this time take picture of kernel panic. PS I used Chameleon. I'm new to this and am "clover challenged". Also I read on old laptops best to use Chameleon. Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

griftopia Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 So I got a bit further and have more detail on my KP. Something do with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. The message says "No HPETs available, CPU(s) configured incorrectly" I have attached latest DSDT and will attach screenshot shortly. dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2016 that hpet "error" is common on older core2duo dells it is not your issue. usually after that "error" your graphics would load to desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griftopia Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Okay so you are saying I am past my DSDT issues? If so, that's good. If you are saying I should just sit on that screen and eventually I should see language selection screen, I'm afraid that's not happening. On the other hand, now that I had a clear message in the KP, I did some Googling. If I'm understanding what I'm reading correctly, NullCPUPowerManagement should let me boot my USB and install OS X, but I will loose Power options like Sleep. Once I get OS X installed, I can patch the Apple Kext. My only problem, boot hangs at random places. ONCE I was able to get to language selection screen. Next time hung at different place. Any insight? What I don't want is start installing and then it hangs and then again I'm back to square one, assuming I hit the language selection screen again. I've only been able to do so ONCE in 20 reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2016 we got around having to patch by using a mbp5,1 smbios and tuning fakesmc.kext. are you using the same usb port during these issues or is it successful on a certain port? on the d630 that had the intel wireless card still active in bios or not physicllay removed did cause install issues like yours, sometimes it was BT. i think the fix was to add an irq to hpet if i remember something like 5 and 11 but you can compare with one of our d630 dsdt's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2016 Try and boot without any patched DSDT. You can grab the tuned FakeSMC from my D630 nVidia packs. Make sure to use MacBookPro5,1 SMBIOS and enable P States + C States generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try on multiple USB ports. Same result - random halt, no apparent error. Not sure hpet,irq,5,11,whatever. Will google to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
