Poolchamp Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have a: Latitude e6330 i5-3x (Ivy Bridge, don't remember exact model, but I could look it up), 1366x768 DIsplay BIOS A12 4GB ram. I have replaced the Wifi card and the HDD with a SDD. I am trying to install Yosemite with Clover boot loader. Full disclosure, I have no available MAC. I found the most recent iso version of the clover files I could find. Should be version 2.3 3354. I then converted the dmg to iso of Yosemite and wrote the iso to the usb drive. I am using an external hard drive as I don't have a pendrive large enough to take the ISO that is full of empty space (silly Apple). No matter what I try, I cannot get past "Waiting for DSMOS . . ." (to be clear, this prints out then the cursor jumps to the next line and hangs on a blank line as opposed to hanging on the end of the DSMOS . . .) I have FakeSMC.kext in the /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10 directory and Other directory. The kexts I am using came from this thread: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8117-dell-e6330-appleintelcpumanagament-kernel-panic/page-4 I have tried GraphicsEnabler=No,npci=0x[2/3]000, -x, removing all graphics injection in config.plist, and removed all the files in the OS X install media /S/L/E that start with AMD, AppleIntelFram, AppleIntelHD, ApplieIntelSNB, and NVD. I realize that many of those shouldn't matter since I don't have AIT/AMD or NVidia graphics chips, but I removed them anyway just to be sure. Attached are the kext files I have in my /EFI/Clover/kexts directory and my config.plist in my /EFI/Clover directory (all in the same zip because I guess you can't post a .plist file. Please oh please, help me out. Any help is much appreciated. I thought this would be a relatively easy hackintosh install (compared to say, my desktop, which is AMD), but it has thoroughly kicked my behind. If there is any information I seem to have missed, please, tell me, and I will provide it as soon as I can. Keep in mind, I have no Mac to work from. Update: I removed he Fakesmc from the "Other" directory and now, after Waiting for DSMOS . . . I repeats a line about GetPacketFilters() ===> over and over and over again, presumably until the laptop burned up or died.GetPacketFilters() ===> GetPacketFilters() <=== GetPacketFilters() ===> GetPacketFilters() <=== It repeats in groups of four, just like that ^^ Thank you, Shaun kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2016 did you use all the files and put them where they belong in post 40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolchamp Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thank you for your reply!For an install (I have no installed OS yet, just a thumb drive), I don't know where to put the DSDT or the SSDT. I thought those were used after an install. I have not tried adding the AppleHDA_IDT to the s/l/e on the install media. It seems odd that I even need to alter the install media, but I can try that. If I were to add the DSDT and the SSDT, where would I put those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2016 ssdt and dsdt go in your EFI/CLOVER/DSDT/patched directory the audio you do not need for install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolchamp Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ok, update, I am not sure what fixed it, but I hit F4 to dump my DSDT and SSDT prior to install and rewrote an original install disk to the OS X base install partition. I also removed the USB kext and boot arg. THAT WORKED! I got it installed with some minor problems. In fact, it seems to be working overall, including Wifi. But I think I have two remaining problems. The first one is that the screen is covered in what looks like static/glitchy graphics. Hard to describe, but it does shift around as I select things and I can usually see whatever is focused clearly, like a text box, or highlighted text. I tried booting with DSDT intel graphics fix and also with GraphicsEnabler=no. But no impact. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. But, I am putting this to rest until tomorrow and if you need a picture to see what I am talking about, it will have to wait until then. Again, thanks for your post, I think you got me on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2016 did you do the bios downgrade then upgrade process. i think you have to go down to a03 bios then back up i am not sure if a12 bios is good to upgrade back too might be a11 if you search the forum its been mentioned a few times.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2016 See here. Downgrade to A03 and then to A11 or A12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolchamp Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 So, I have not tried downgrading/upgrading the BIOS. Is there a way to do this without having to install windows? I could do this by plugging in a different HDD if I needed to without having to lose my now, mostly working installation. But if there is a way around that, Id much rather. Regardless, a little more info:I wouldn't call it artificats, it's just garbled glitches. Somtimes very minor, especially using Safari full screen. Other times, I can barely make out what is on the screen. However, I have played with pulling some kexts out of SLE and found that if I remove the AppleIntelFrame* and AppleIntelHD* kexts, the graphics are clean, but obviously slow because the GPX card is not being used. Not sure if that helps anyone, but seems like a kext problem to me. I'll look into changing the BIOS without having to install windows in the mean time. Also, at this point, should I open a new thread?FYI, whoever moved my thread, thanks, I didn't realize there were more specific forums. My bad. Edit: Forgot to add, I readded the kexts back to SLE and fixed perms and rebuilt cache . . . problem returned. I also added the kexts from here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-e6xxxe7xxx-yosemite-install-guide/ post# 10.10.4 updates. But no change, unfortunately.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2016 You could create a bootable Dos disk or a WinPE and run the bios update from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolchamp Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I tried FreeDOS but the bios update files errored out. Additionally, I could not find the A3 bios rev for download, Dell no longer offers it as a supported version on their site, so I downloaded A02. I'll give WinPE a shot and see if that works. FYI, seems I forgot to add earlier that safe mode is glitch free. Any thoughts on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
