Ah ah, my DSDT was hidden, that's why I couldn't find it at first. Thank you very much! You were a big help!

 

There's just one more problem, my DSDT is so screwed up (chuck full of errors) that it causes the system to experience a kernel panic when I place it in the Extra folder.

Umm.... I don't have a DSDT for this particular machine, and I don't know where to get one for it

alright, so I have a very interesting problem. I've gotten everything to work, EXCEPT I cannot change the brightness of the screen. This is a massive waste of battery power because the screen is stuck at max brightness while using Mavericks. Anyone have a solution that will allow me to change the screen brightness?

 

If it helps, here are my system specs:

 

Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P

Intel I7-4700MQ

Intel HD4600 integrated graphics

2x GT755m 2gb (not yet working for hackintosh)

Qualcomm Atheros AR8171/8175 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Elan Touchpad

Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 (this obviously won't work, I have to change this really soon)

Sounds good to me! I will share what I learn.

I was wondering if there are any guides for hackintoshing a Lenovo G700 (With Nvidia GPU)

 

From what I see, it doesn't require anything special to get it working, but who knows, maybe it does.

 

I just don't want to spend a week bringing it to 100% functionality like I did with my Dell Latitude D630 system.

Well, it actually depends on the FSB speed detected by the OS or the BIOS. The T9300 is actually a 2.50GHz CPU: quad-pumped FSB 800MHz and multiplier 12.5 makes it a 200MHz x 12.5 = 2500MHz CPU. You can check more details here: http://ark.intel.com/products/33917/

 

Now, hardly any computer runs at the exact theoritical/paper speed and there can be slight variations; for instance you may see the FSB run at 798MHz instead of 800MHz exactly. Use a tool like CPUID/CPUZ in Windows and you'll see.

 

Anyway, if you have a T9300, then this is the exact same CPU that I have and, with my pack, you'll indeed see OS X report a 2.49/2.5GHz speed; that is the correct speed, the speed to expect.

 

I have BIOS A18 (you ought to have A17 or A18) and it always shows a max clock speed of 2.50GHz with min clock speed of 1.20GHz.

Same here except my max clock speed shows up as 2.55 GHZ, I must have a lucky CPU

You can probably ignore it, I've seen that before.

 

EDP is totally Ok for Mavericks. If using it caused boot issues, then you proabably did something wrong in the process. What kexts are you using, what Chameleon boot options, what SMBIOS profile, etc?

 

Also what CPU do you have in that D630? I'm not aware of any 2.55GHz FSB800 CPU that could be used in that laptop.

I booted into windows 8 and found this about the CPU:

2.55 GHZ T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo

 

In OS X, it reads as 2.49 GHZ

 

In Windows 8, it reads as 2.5 GHZ

 

In the BIOS, it reads as 2.55 GHZ

 

I'm sure the BIOS is always correct about hardware.

Yep, that fixed the problem. Must have been a permissions screw up or something.

I just did both of those, let's see what happens. Restarting machine...

Ha, you should stay away from multifail, we've got everything optimized for those models.

 

Anyway, here's a little Mavericks pack for the D630 nVidia; it has everything you would need and, yes, it's not a lot. But that's all you need, the rest is all Vanilla. No strange CPU speed reports with that... Remember to check your BIOS settings against the recommend values and disable IDA if you have a T7xxx CPU (you can keep IDA with T9xxx CPU).

You may also optimize Bluetooth if required/desired (DW350/DW360), in which case look at the dedicated thread in Reseach section.

 

NB: the pack does not include any wireless kext that you may require, depending on the card you use...

Thanks, I deleted all multifail kexts and used these.

Wireless works fine

The CPU speed still keeps jumping around in "About This Mac"

I am using the multifail kexts for mountain lion, since they work on mavericks.

I have a modified Chameleon boot plist which I made myself, no boot flags inserted.

Hmm... I look up this CPU

I have EDP installed on my D620. For some reason it does not want to work properly on my D630, even though I installed it the same way.

Okay, everything works but there is something weird about how my system shows up in "About This Mac"

 

The processor speed changes every time I turn on the machine.

 

So far it has showed up as 1.2 GHZ, 1.7 GHZ, or 2.5GHZ

 

The processor is actually a 2.55GHZ processor.

 

Is this a problem, or should I ignore this?

Follow this thread. I think voodoohda 2.8.4 works on it.

Thanks so much! I've used multiple VoodooHDA's but none of them worked. Now this one did!

 

My laptop is now a 100% functional Hackbook

I'm actually using the Voodoo#3 from EDP system build; it's v2.8.1. Works perfectly.

 

Did you use EDP on your system? It's perfectly safe to do a System Build. If you're without EDP, remember to use AppleHDADisabler with VoodooHDA kext.

I removed EDP since it was causing my system not to boot up into the OS.

I'll try using that voodooHDA.

Okay, I've installed the dev preview of OS X 10.9 on my D630 and everything works.

 

That is, except sound.

 

I've tried multiple sound kexts but nothing seems to work.

No audio devices are detected, not even headphones.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

This laptop has a Nvidia graphics card if that helps any.
