Yeah both the bluetooth and the wlan are disabled in the BIOS so that isnt the cause. sam

For giggles I tried a Lion Installer with the myHack and the Dell D620 Extra's pack, this resulted in a kernel panic. I am wondering if I would be better off doing some paid work and buying a mac laptop. Sam

Sam

Made a fresh OSX Lion 10.7 installer stick using myHack, included the Extras from http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-lion.zip tried booting from this stick. No luck I get a kernel panic with the message about AppleHDAController Can someone give me a recipe that works with this hardware? The closest I have come is booting into safemode in Mountain Lion which works fine except it is 1024x768 with no hardware acceleration. I might have some more time in about 15 hours from now, so any input would be great. sam

Whoops found my goof http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-sl.zip http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-lion.zip http://www.osxlatitude.com/packs/Dell/Dell_Latitude_D820-nvidia-ml.zip are different. Whoops Sam

This is the Nvdia driver code name "G72GLM" So I dont know if I need to install a different NVidia kext or what I need to do. Sam

So I tried making a boot stick with myHack and a DMG of 10.7 That didnt go so well, actually worse than ML 10.8 in a number of ways. see I only managed to get the system to be visible on an external monitor. When that happened in safe mode "-x" I was able to set the resolution to native 1650x1080 and set up a user account to some extent, no network as far as I could tell. But when I started up from the kernel extras I got the panic pasted above. It seems that the EDP for Latitude 820 which is marked as compatible with M65 might have some incorrect kexts in it. Any ideas? Why wont it show up on the internal monitor? Sam

Cheers, I am about to give Lion 10.7 a go, I will see how that goes. I guess if I like it I will have to get a new WLAN card because a Intel Pro Wireless 3945 is a bit of a bastard cousin when it comes to Darwin. I will see how it goes, its purely out of curiosity at this stage. Sam

I got it to boot OK into safe mode -v -x Seems like it is to do with the graphics from what I have read, apparently the D820 and the M65 are pretty much the same computer. Sam

Please find the output of the command, when booted to a working OSX installer from a myHack thumbdrive: ioreg -l -w0 -p IODeviceTree > samhodge.ioreg.txt uploaded to the location below: http://www.hodge.net.au/samhodge.ioreg.txt

This Dell has had the CPU upgraded, and contains a Intel T7600 http://ark.intel.com/products/27257/ I found this script: https://raw.github.com/Piker-Alpha/RevoBoot/clang/i386/libsaio/acpi/Tools/ssdtPRGen.sh Which I could load onto the USB Stick and run from a boot from the thumbdrive, but I need a few more instructions. Any hints would be apprieciated. Also is there anyway I can dump the hw I am using to a shell so you can see what I have? sam

I believe I am on OSX 10.8.2 if this make a difference. Sam

Hello Thanks in advance for any help you offer. I got my USB prepped, booted from it OK, formatted the drive and installed Chameleon, OSX 10.8 onto my internal HDD of my Dell Precision M65. When booting with the -v flag I get the following text before it hangs: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory macx_swapon SUCCESS No interval found for .

What am I doing wrong, without the -v flag, I get a Grey Screen of Death. I am not a n00b to computers, http://www.hodge.net.au/sam , but I am a n00b to running OSX on non apple hardware and I dont really know OSX that intimately, so I might require a little bit of extra explaination. I have a 2009 iMac at my disposal, keyboards, USB HDDs, monitors. But I was just trying and experiment if it was possible to run OSX on my old laptop. Sam
