No sir. Restored snow leo retail dvd to usb drive, ran myhack install, install extra, and install chameleon on the usb drive. Restored because of the known bug with myhack and sno leo

Thank you very much. I am now getting an error, about AppleACPIPlatform.kext being unusable, or damaged. No battery icon, and no sound, still.

I also forgot to mention, to boot with the myhack USB, i have to use boot verbose, otherwise it just hangs. I have double checked my bios settings, the one thing that i am not sure of is my processor, wich is T7200 core2duo, not just core duo. I read somewhere that the dual core setting should be disabled. Thank you for your help with the issue.

Hello again, so i followed your instructions, and the computer booted up just fine, upon startup it has only wifi, no battery management, no sound. OS X is 10.6. So i re-run EDP, once again it reports succesful installation, once again upon reboot, the same kernel panic. What could the issue be? 

Ok thank you, i will try that and report back.

Hi there:

So i have this dell D620, nvidia video, installed snow leopard 10.6.0, installation went OK, (with myhack USB) all the way trough. After runinng EDP, (which informed everything went all right), upon restart, kernel panic, like so:

 

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x558993): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".n"@/Sourcecache/xnu/xnu-1456.1.25/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389

 

Any comments on how to fix this will be very much appreciatted, thank you.

Hello sire, i am in the middle of an installation with X3100 video, using the extra folder found here:

 

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2464-installing-ml-on-d630-gma-x3100-with-full-qeci/

 

as of now, i was able to boot ML, still some things to do, will get back with results later!

Another strange occurrence. I Just created the myhack installer USB drive, added the extra folder, inserted a new NTFS drive on the D630 (so i do not lose the working SL hard disk). Computer keeps bootlooping (after the dell logo, all i can see i text line: boot0= done and then it restarts). USB drive was partitioned, at first, as MBR, then as GUID, same result. Any suggestions?

Hello again, so after  many tries, this is what i did and how things stand:

 

1.- Extract the HD from the D630

2.- Format in windows 7, insert the DSDT.aml file from the bootpack in the HD.

3.- Reinsert the HD, boot with modCD.

4.- Insert the retail SL DVD,  insert the command DSDT=hd(<x>,<y>)/DSDT.aml

5.- SL install begins, screen OK, installation completes OK.

6.- After install, D630 reboots, no video again.

7.- Remove HD again, on virtualbox SL, copy DSDT.aml to the extra folder.

8.- Reinsert HD, boot D630, SL loads OK! 

9.- install and run EDP, EDP informs all is OK

10.- Reboot, kernel panic.

 

Any ideas as to why did EDP crashed the install? Also i do not know how to read / interpret what the kernel panic is trying to tell me, what should i look for? thanks again!

Thank you sir, i will do as you recommend an post my results.

Hello to all the blokes in the community. This will be my first attempt at a hackintosh so lets see how it goes! I´ll let y´all know!

Hello lads, i have no idea what i am doing wrong, i have a dell D630, intel video. Changed the BIOS settings to what is recommended here. Tried with both myhack and nawcoms cd to boot the retail snow leo dvd. At the point where the installation of snow leo should begin, the screen goes black. And thats it. Not sure what or where is the problem. No kernel panics. Just a black screen. Any suggestions for a clueless noob?

 

BIOS rev is A18
