Ah, I see it is! Can you let me know what you used to get the SD card slot working please? Also did you get multitouch on the trackpad?

Three ports!? Mine only has two. @ctm474 - when you said you couldn't install thats what I though you meant! When you said you had it all working - did you get the SD card, eSata, HDMI and trackpad working!?

@ Jake - I don't se those kext's in the S\L\E\ @ctm474 - I'd be delighted to help. What hardware do you have in your 6430u? I can send you the Extra folder I used for install if you like? I struggled at first but now I've managed to install 10.8 and 10.8.5 on my 6430u. In short I disabled unnecessary stuff in BIOS. eSATA for example. The I installed using myHack but I had to replace a couple of kexts to get the mouse to work to get it to install and i also included the networking. (I will upload the EE folder later for you) Then I boot into safe mode and enable screen and file sharing so I can connect when the graphics enables. Then I used EDP to create a whole new Extra folder. Last I replaced the VoodooPS2, HDA and added the frame buffer kext to get the internal display to work. Using screen sharing is really useful as you can do stuff when the mouse keyboard are screen are not working. I will also upload my current working EE folder. I've not tried it recently but installing with the 'final' EE folder I found problematic. It was much easier to install with a very minimal EE folder and then slowly add stuff. Last of all it's a good idea to take a backup with SuperDuper before changing anything - that way if it goes wrong you can boot off your working clone and copy files back etc. Will upload the files later as I'm on 3G right now... Thanks for all your help everyone... I'm loving my 6430u - just need wifi now....

I did move the FakeSMC to EE and then myHack. Do you know if the pkg installs than one kext?

Thanks for the reply... I tried v5.3.901 - the latest version that comes with the HWSensor install package but couldn't boot. Went to v4 now I get temps and cpu frequencies x2 - one for each CPU. Intel PowerGadget now works too. I made an SSDT using a couple of different methods, the best one seems to be the one I made with ssdtPRGen. But I only see two clock speeds 792MHz and 1980Mhz. The CPU is supposed to be 2.1Ghz to 3.3Ghz. Is that misreporting? Multipliers are 8 & 20. I was expecting more than that? I've tried several i7 smbios files included with chameleon but they don't seem to make any difference apart from what is displayed in system report.

Just when you think its going well.... I installed "hardware sensors" that has a FakeSMC.kext and now the mouse has stopped working. Any ideas?

Well, I'm a bit further down the road. Well a lot further actually. I have 10.8.5 installed with ethernet, accel graphics and audio. I used the EDP to build the basic kexts for me then replaced some. Specially: Removed HDADisabler and replaced AppleHDA (thanks Jake Lo) - this improved the audio and I have a mic working too Also removed the VooDooPS2 and replaced with ApplePS2Controller as this stopped working when I added AppleIntelFrameBuferCapri I created a ssdt using ssdtPRGen but i don't think its quite right. Can anyone recommend a tool to view clock speed? I tried hardware monitor and the intel monitor but they can't read the data and just show temps only. Also used an ubuntu boot USB to get some accurate data on whats in this laptop. Have orded a DW1510 to replace the Intel Centrino wifi... Overall very pleased and thanks to everyone who runs this very useful site!

thanks, I was using the one by one method and I got as far as battery and network. But whilst trying to get my HD4000 to work I have messed up the system and need to do a fresh install. I did load and run EDP but it looked like it was going to wipe out my existing Extra rather than add to it? Another question; why might the trackpad stop working? It seams that I have to boot with -f to get it to work. The after a chameleon install it stopped all together

Using the 10.8 Bootpack for Dell Latitude E6430 (i7 3520M & HD4000) I couldn't get it to boot. I have attached a photo of the error. Things start to go wrong with com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily not found. I couldn't see this file anywhere on the USB stick. I'm now doing an install with the Generic Extra (and PciRoot=1) to get OSX on the hard drive. Can I use EDP to get the drivers I need?

Hi, I'm struggling with my first myHack install. I have a Dell 6430u with an i7 and Intel HD graphics. I followed Jake Lo's instructions as he looked to have the same laptop but couldn't get the system to boot to do the OSX install. I have managed to install using the Generic Extra but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm just about to try the BootPack for the E6430 - this is a close match for my system but the CPU is different. Is a close match good enough or should I start with the Generic and slowly add stuff? Any pointers greatly appreciated...
