  1. tip for atheros AR5B95 no need to edit kext.

    DSDT Edit for 168c-002b to works as if it was 168c-002a

     

    notice IOName in injection.

  2. Thanks for that clarification Bronx.

     

    Therefore would I be right in thinking that using the d630 method which is all on a USB pen would work, giving me a 32 bit osx?

     

    How do I get a 64 bit osx machine?

     

    What about iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) and multifail? They claim to work with any core2 machine?

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    John

    ive had issues with 10.6.8 and inspiron 1520 x3100 (almost clone of m1330 in dsdt)and tried many things..

    i think i will have to use a modified IOPCIFamilly (netkas) because all the fixes including _UID dont work past 10.6.7

     

    anyways on topic

    get the dsdt from the insanelymac thread for dsdt m1330 m1530 and make your usb 8gb snow leo 10.6.3

    install chameleon2.1 to it (enable GeneratePStates GenerateCSTates) and smbios.plist of MacBook5,2 and it should work up to 10.6.7 .. the 10.6.8 did something in x3100 that im currently trying to pinpoint.

     

    u can optionaly restore the 10.6.3 in windows with transmac and use a boot cd to install from usb then reboot with cd and boot hdd to install chameleon2.1 to hdd and chameleon wizard to make smbios and settings.

  3. Easy to check

    sergey:NewFolder slice$ iasl -ta dsdt.dsl

    dsdt.dsl   4832:                     DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

    So the answer: NO, we need DTGP

    i think he means MCDP method replacing DTGP

  4. I had the same issue with a D620 core duo. Eventually, I moved the hard drive into a D620 core2 duo , then install was perfect with all the updates. Moved back the HD, It has been flawless for a 6 weeks now.

    makes sense .. boot with cpus=1 f its core duo.. not core2duo

    or vodootscsync ?

  5. i had issue with ar5bxb72 or ar5bxb62.

    error offset 0x100 ffffffff ( due to device id 1C .. once i changed in linux to 1014 it gave no error)

     

    what works for me is AR5B91 or BCM94321MC

     

    i was able to make AR5BXB62 by rebranding to IBM 1014 subsystem 58A and using atherofix.kext (modded it with 1014)

     

    best is to change to the 2 models i posted above.

     

    EDIT: i read somewhere the Airport PCMCIA kext is causing this. i havent tested it.

  6. wow cool stuff! .. listen i was looking at a toshiba x205 laptop and i saw it had VIDS, in the video card. with a big buffer. i was thinking the 1395 can be detected by device id and make a change

    if Lequal (VIDS, vendorid of registers then put dsm to rebrand in dsdt to 4312

    then Else if another model id with problems

    then Else standard mini pci no dsm rebrand.

    just an idea for future autodectection of wireless and rebranding in dsdt.

     

    everything else looks sweet.

     

    Leon the guys name says attitude630 so he must have a d630 gma model.

     

    the 4 squares video i believe is either wrong edid cause u have bigger resolution lcd or the _DOS is flipped (NVCAP)

  7. oops i guess this model doesnt have that stray irqno {0} that my inspiron 1520 has.

     

    however the lag i suffered was with MacBookPro3,1 smbios.plist and i lost wifi. but i started using MacBook5,1 not pro and speedsteps work. unlike Macbook4,1 for me that is inspiron 1520 nvidia 8600m T7500.

    if the smbios.plist is mising a specific entry for SMboardproduct Mac-Fxxxxx then u get lag too.

  8. i downloaded my correct dsdt file... how do i install it?

     

    and the bootloader i downloaded doesnt boot up my system it asks me to restart, soi had to boot from my cd/dvd drive with my chameleon boot disc

    its all a big mess. but the proper things to keep an eye on is: chameleon2, FakeSMC, smbios.plist,

     

    kext caches ( clear them with kext wizard)

    im not sure what you have in there but i dont run any kexts from /Extra/Extensions (unless its fakesmc with no plugins inside it . right click show contents of fakesmc. plugins should be empty.

     

    what video card is the laptop intel gma950 or nvidia? ( cant say do this or that without knowing this!.)

     

    the dsdt.aml goes in /Extra

     

     

    the battery not charging is not osx. u have bad charger cord or broken pin inside tip.

    (usualy cord is broken internally due to twisting it when u wrap it around the charger)

    wrap a string around your finger and feel the pressure by the 4th twist.. thats being applied to thin cables inside it and they break. the power and charging system is 2 different cables inside cord. the pin inside tip charges battery.

     

    2nd option is the power jack soldered inside laptop to board is loose or broken for the pin in center.

     

    i have tried leppys stuff 2 yrs ago before snow and it was marginaly working for most. i deviated from their path and got good results. (fresh install os x with the methods from here. replace smbios.plist with one for Macbook5,1 or 2,1 check your chameleon2 rc5 version.)

  9. id like extract only not install option.

    and Beta update testing. "like have a set url for a .zip dload with a beta edp testing ability."

     

    auto-patcher can probably be used to make a custom nvidia or intel script for each board to use our own dsdt.

  10. Hey, I've had my D620 Latitude for about a year now and unable to afford a mac, i decided to install snow leopard on it currently running 10.6.8.

    I used the Chameleon Bootloader D620SLV1.iso and simply installed snow leopard and use the D620SLV1 boot disc to boot up and thats it, but the computer is very slow running the mac osx, i get video but its very very very choppy and the general doing things is slow, running iphoto, itunes... any help to make performance as best as i can make it?

     

    Thanks, McLean.

    replace dsdt with the one from here least. but check what u have.. intel or nvidia.

    (backup your stuff in /Extra)

    the irq timing and other things in dsdt help a lot!

     

    u can restore a osx 10.6.x Snow leo with disk utilityto usb

    ( the file inside the .dmg source.. to usb destination. erase usb 8GB at least or second partition in hard disk :P)

     

    and add/install chameleon2 rc5 .pkg and add files from around here to /Extra then boot from USB to your hard disk to test it :P

     

    remove any funny kexts (starting with old acpips2nub and install new to /System/Library/Extensions for stability)

     

    boot with -v -f

    use edp in new install ?

  11. Hi all,

     

    Dell Latitude D620, working everything well with 10.6.7 and after upgrade to 10.6.8 I lost wifi network. I rolled back AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily kexts (I try with 10.6.3 and 10.6.7 both versions), as well wifi Kexts, and no success.

     

    If anybody has the wifi working (D620 Intel Version) please let me know wich kexts versions are you using.

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Santi.

     

    try a properly edited smbios.plist faking MacBook5,1 or MacBook2,1 and a newer chameleon.

     

    look at my postsand you shall receive.

  12. i have issues with atheros on many dells with AR5BXB72 real apple didnt work for me .. older atheros gives me error offset 0x100 = 0xffffff and that card is prety locked socant be rebranded.

    so i tried a fujitsu WLL4080 device id 1C subven uhh forgot it butit had same error 0x100

    then i rebranded it in linux to IBM device id 1014 subsystem 058a and added to info.plist or atheros both kexts (theold and the new 21) AND IT WORKED sorta.

    finaly i jumpet to newer §0.6.3+ atheros AR5B91 and they seem to work as the pciclass is 280 not 200.

     

     

    havent run into major issues with any broadcoms 1390 .. or 1505.

     

     

    when 10.6.8 was installed i lost wireless using macbookpro3,1 smbios.plist with proper info in it. then i tried plain not pro 4,1 and no speedstep but wireless works.

     

    FINALY 5,1 or 5,2 not pro works fine with speedsteps and wireless worked. in my inspiron 1520 (with socket p not older socket m) T7500

     

    so theres variations to the issue.

  13. Thanks that fixed the booting problem. Now my machine is really slow. Should I try running the fix from EDP 1.8?

     

    Edit: Now my Wifi, USB and DVD are not working (on top of the system being slow).

    try the MacBook3,1 smbios.plist i posted earlier yesterday.. even if its older laptop.

    and heres the info to verify 2,1 if needed

    i loose wireless if i use MacBookPRO3,1 smbios .. if i use macbook5,x runs a little hot but browser works best.

    if i use MacBook4,1 (NOT Pro) i get a good balance of temps low in my inspiron 1520 8600m gt

    so try diff smbios

    EDIT: mb4.1 seems to not give me speedstates. 5,1 or 5,2 not pro work ok for 1520 and prob D630s and x30's

     

     

    guys try applejack booting from -s

    first install it then boot -s and type applejack

    from sourceforge

  14. i read somewhere that the location for the airport in dsdt changed slightly. and theres no need to rebrand. if u do. do it in dsdt device id injection and subvendor id.

     

    i have AR5B91 ven_168c dev 002a .. subvendor .. uhh i made 8F like apple in dsdt.

     

    if the broadcom is device id 4315 .. in dsdt make it say 4312 as 4315 is not in the io80211 of any apple os.

    (but works just like 4312)

     

    also the Device (PCI0) should get _UID added under _ADR .. in d630.. replaced. in d620 added. (my theory)

    also try MacBook4,1 NOT PRO for d630 .. i had strange isues with MacBookPro3,1 but MacBook3,1 works fine (possibly typo in descriptions or file mixup)

    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=83039&view=findpost&p=1706137

     

    i will get my friends D620 and unflash it to plain bios then debug dsdt with the 10.6.8 update

    but first i will try to update with osxbios in it as it runs 10.6.7

    i didnt use edp1.8 only a few kexts from it. D620 GMA950

  15. heres my working macbook3,1 smbios.plistMB31smbios.zip

     

     

    weird in the D620 i havent tried 10.6.8 but .. i tried editing _ADR to _UID and no boot 10.6.7 so maybe it doesnt need.. or maybe add it under _ADR

     

    and i didnt replace any kexts :D .. straight update banzai.. it works. goodnight

     

    to find a proper DMI info of a MacBook2,1 google for linuxbug ;-)

    P.S.

    Note that since Chameleon 2.0 RC5 svn 1036 all instances of "manufacter" in smbios.plist must be changed to "manufacturer".

    and to install chameleon2 manualy .. theres a easy way in terminal.. copy and paste.

    first copy the folder i386 rename to RC5 then put in the main root of disk so to get to it type in terminal

    sudo -s
    cd /RC5
    fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
    dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2
    cp boot /
    

    now u have upgraded your chameleon2

  16. the 100% fix is to add the model identifier of board in smbios.plist example Mac-Fxxxx

    tested it and its true. i tried a few till i find best match for graphics power states and chipset cpu match near.

     

    and in dsdt device (PCI) needs _UID added or replace _ADR

     

    i had no boot. or sorta.. booted and no video. like vdeo wasnt beign put in right root. of pci.

    so i did changes as i seen in others with same issue and they fixed. one is called "tequila fix"

    _UID adding under _ADR. didnt work for me. had to replace _ADR with _UID on my inspiron 1520.

    while in d620 i did a quick test and replaced _ADR and didnt work.. but i forgot to fix smbios.plist with

    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=260539&view=findpost&p=1703018

    and my dsdt testing

    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=83039&view=findpost&p=1706137

  17. first post! and its running sweet. but i didnt follow full steps.. oopps i had to!

     

    the first post newest driver didnt work for trackpad in D620 GMA950 so i investigated why others worked.

    the voodootrackpad.kext info.plist has ProductID 547.

    i removed and it works but the tap is too sensitive. so right click is hard to use cause u touch the pad and it clicks instead of letting me move to the menu of right clic. if u keep finger on touchpad and right click it works fine.

    and best of all SCROLLING WORKS!

     

    but it shows input timeout on -v .. but works fine

     

    btw i had made a dsdt for 620 last year that would sleep but wake up with the card reader issue and freeze with screen. (i had posted it in leppys guide post #1039)

    im going to compare them to see where issue might be. i was also thinking to internally hack the card reader to disable it.. like pin 20 tape trick but pin x desolder :P
