Mavericks working on an e6420 with Intel HD 3000
Here are my steps (this is going from memory):
1) Created myHack installation disk using Patel's guide - https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3112-e6410-mavericks-guide/ (Note: Don't use the E6410 M file from Patel's Guide)
2) After myHack is done copying the Maverick install files to the USB drive, copy the attached E6420_Extras folder to the myHack drive.
3) Eject the myHack drive and attach it to the e6420. Boot from the myHack drive. If it doesn't boot, put it back on your original machine, run myHack again and install Chameleon to the myHack drive
4) When available, boot the myHack drive with "-f -v". Eventually it will prompt for choosing your language.. Chose wisely. next choose Utilities -> Disk Utility to start Disk Utility to format the e6420's internal drive. Chose 1 partition, GUID, name it whatever you'd like.
5) After partitioning, quit Disk Utility. Click on Utilities again and choose myHack. Chose "Install Chameleon" and install it on the newly partitioned internal drive.
6) Quit myHack and go forward with the install.
7) After install, myHack will prompt for which Extra to use. Choose "use my own" and pick the "E6420_Extras" folder on the myHack drive.
8) I had to force the post-install reboot by holding down the power button.
After it reboots, when available, boot with "-f -v" and you should be good to go.
Notes:
Factory wifi (Dell 1501) doesn't work and won't work..ever. I put an older wifi card from a d630 in the WWAN slot.
Dual dvi monitors on the docking station work if you run NoSleep (https://code.google.com/p/macosx-nosleep-extension/) and shut the laptop's lid.
Ethernet port on the docking station works unless you disconnect it and reconnect it. The driver isn't sensing the connection status correctly and will show "Not Connected" when it is reconnected.
USB on the docking station is flaky..still working on that.
Volume controls don't work for the headphone jack. I installed the VoodooHDA Pref Pane, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I never had any luck with myFix actually working. After moving kexts around I repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility. It also stuck that myHack.kext in S/L/E which caused all sorts of problems.
you really can't go wrong with "sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/", "sudo chown -R root:wheel /Extra/", "sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/", and "sudo chmod -R 755 /Extra/"
