aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi, I just got an old Dell D620 and want to install OSX on it. I decided it would be wise to install Lion 10.7.5 on it and upgrade to El Capitan later if the system does run okay on it. I do have some confusion since it doesn't seem to be documented on the website. I realized I best not use EDP after reading some threads in D6XX, but I am confused about Fullpack vs EDP. My understanding is that, for D620 it is best to use the fullpack "D620_NV110m_10.7.5_Pack.zip," but how should I install it after the installation process? Do I simply unzip the file and use it as the bootpack when MyHack asked for it? I follow this guide from the home page: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/pre-installation/ However I was not prompted about Extra folder in MyHack...(I chosed to use GUID, no MBR patch). Also about "Chameleon-2.3svn-r2468.pkg.zip," when and where do I use this file? Nothing is mentioned in the guide. Anyways, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2016 i think you have to rerun myhack then there might be the option to use the unzipped extra folder. D620 nvidia will not run elcap D630 Nvidia will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes, got that now. I guess the home page guide needs to be updated. I just disabled wifi (Intel) and now in the installation process. P.S. I am not really into upgrading to El Capitan or new models anyways. I just want to have fun putting OSX into this laptop. Maybe I can use it as a TV box or something later.

aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Weird, now it just went into black screen. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2016 well make sure your booting with arch=i386 flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Okay it looks like everything works now except for the wifi. I tried using an USB wifi adapter but there is no wifi connection available in the system panel. What should I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 well make sure your booting with arch=i386 flag Oh I got it to work by just moving my mouse occasionally. But I am curious. How do I add these flags when booting? It just boot directly into the installation GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Also when I tried to run the following commands I noticed a few problems: sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Extensionssudo chown -R 0:0 /Library/Extensionssudo touch /Library/Extensionssudo kextcache -Boot -U / First is that, shouldn't it be /System/Library/Extensions instead of /Library/Extensions? Second, my Lion's kextcache doesn't have -Boot flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 This is what I used instead: sudo chown root:admin / sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel sudo kextcache -system-caches Not sure if it works. Rebooting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroxy Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Internal wifi doesn't work. Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN. I got the USB wifi adapter to work after downloading Ralink's driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
