yeah it's fun... just allot of researching but that can be fun too..

heck yea! I'm gonna opt for the T7200 on ebay, about the middle there. . .

you could also just install the edp pkg to the installer usb stick and run your model build from there. after it installs lion install edp.pkg to the new hdd partion and build for your model. so you might want to put the edp.pkg somewhere on the usb stick to make things easier

I still have to wait till I get a core 2 duo, but when I get one I will try this!

The T7250 will not work on our laptop.

You can only choose a T7000 series Core 2 Duo with a 667MHz FSB.

That's either a T7200 @ 2GHz, a T7400 @ 2,16GHz or a T7600 @ 2,33GHz.

sweet! I'm gonna see if I can get the T7200 for my D620, I WANT LION

easy follow the same method but put your own extra folder in it or install edp1.9 to the usb media and run a build for your model without using a battery kext during build. that should get the install going. after install install edp.pkg to the new install and re run edp for your model.

yea I would try it but it turns out I only have a core duo, not a core 2 duo. Leon was saying I could upgrade my CPU?

Until you get a better CPU, then you can use Lion Dev. Preview 4.

 

If i remember corectly, then DP4 had 32bit compiled finder...

will a core 2 duo go on this motherboard you think?

EDIT: ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION, OPPS

gonna try for a T7200 on ebay!

You cannot install Lion on any Core Duo's (32 bit) only Core 2 Duo's, which are 64 bit CPU's!!!

I have a Core Duo so I will not be able to install Lion on my D620

Man, I wish someone would do this for the D620 Intel!

Dazzler, hence Dassler, hence simeonoff, hence me... Yes, I will be glad to share my dsdt with you guys, it should work just fine with any D630 with Intel graphics, Try it an see if it suits your taste. It works with any version of SL 10.6.x (including 10.6.8) and of course Lion boots up just fine as well.

 

Few remarks and thoughts on how to get Lion roaring on your D630:

 

1. Create a bootable installation flash drive with Lion, by restoring from Base_System. (Simply follow this guide)

2. Follow the guide up to the point of just restoring the original files to the flash. Don't install the suggested Extra folder.

3 .Copy the Extra folder that I attached below to the root of your flash drive with Lion on it.

4. Run Kext Wizard -> Rebuild Kextcache and repair permissions of the /Extra folder that you just copied to your Lion installation flash.

5. Install chameleon to the flash. I recommend using revision 1095. Attached below as well.

6. Reboot, boot with the Flash, Install Lion.

7. After installation is done, boot into your SL or any other OS X partition, but Lion's.

8. Copy the "Extra" folder from the flash to the root of your newly installed Lion partition.

9. Repair /Extra using Kext Wizard.

 

10. Ok, before you reboot there is one thing you should know. Lion will not detect your KB (it will but the setup assistant will not). Two things you can do here to bypass the stupid Setup Assistant KB check. If you have a usb keyboard, attach that when asked for a keyboard by the Setup Assistant on first boot in Lion. If you don't have an external Keyboard go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/ of you Lion partition and open the Info.plist and delete two strings DeviceSelection and KeyboardTypeSelection. Save the Info.plist. Aaaand that's it.

 

11. You are all set! Enjoy your new Lion setup.

I made a bootable USB stick using xfail and installed the lastest Chameleon by running Champlist from my iMac, and I used Bronnxteck's files to overwrite, I get a black screen at boot. . .

is it because I'm using a Core Duo and not a Core 2 Duo? (which means I'm 32 bit only. . .)

I just tried "hot" pluging in my external monitor via VGA after boot up, it seems to be ok, I'm on a D620 w/Intel 950 GMA

yeah there's a link in wiki to prasy

O now you tell me

anyway, performance is still better in windows I'm sry to say. . .I don't know if it's the video driver or what?!

I am watching this video that I just uploaded this afternoon and when I watch in 720 HD in Windows 7 it's perfectly smooth:

but on the mac, it buffers great, it just plays back jerky. . .

same here Pt.... same here.

EDIT: anyway, works like a charm! Screeming Steaming!

it says I am now using a Broadcom 43224 airport card, if it only knew. . .

have you rebranded the card ? (might be a stupid question, but i'm tired)

well, since rebranding is 50 x's easier for me than editing a DSDT.aml, I will let you know how it goes. . .

For some reason 4311 is not a best choice for MacOSX. You may emulate 4312

awesome, now what do I with this? I have no clue.

last person that asked the same question i gave two advices.

 

1. Switch the antennas around

2. Get another wifi router

ok, I'll switch the antennas around before I get another router. In windows 7 I have no speed issues what so ever, so I know it's not the router or the card. . .

funny i had an issue like that with my linksys pcmcia wireless until i rebranded it... that helped the speed alot..

you mean firmware flashed it? Can you even do that to a Dell 1490??

gogleing. . .

I noticed the only thing that's a little slow on my D620, is the wireless.

I bought a Dell 1490 WLAN from ebay (mac supports this natively without any extra kexts and shows up as a Broadcom 4311), and I was wondering if anyone else had kinda slow internet, somewhere between 3g and 4g speeds?

I'm going try using a different one from kexts.com next. . .

thanx!

i was about tot say the same.. if it aint broken, dont fix it .. i do wonder, wouldent it be posebil to re-use the core .. i guess that gets over-written when you update..

 

you dont happend to have a screenshot of the KP ?

@Leon I sure don't, I was very tired at the time and kind of po'd, but thanx for asking!

. . .the good news is I tried the update again (just like in my video) and boom it went perfectly without a hitch.

@Bronxteck I get all my legacy kernels from nawcom: nawcom's awesome repository

an invaluable resource for any AMD setups. . .

EDIT: the reason I opt to update was cos Angry Birds won't play on anything less than 10.6.6. And after the update my machine is still flying! I think it was I had done a .mpkg install before maybe. . .

So I just bought a retail Snow Leopard DVD from Amazon.com (free shipping) for $29.00 and re-installed my AMD hackintosh system and it is screaming fast- I mean it flat out get's it on, and after a failed update to 10.6.7 (kp'd) and a re-re-install I'm wondering if it's even worth the trouble. i don't use App store, and I don't think I really benefit from the updates anyway. . .

thoughts? opinions??

i guess i will have to look at mine when im home. it's in an obscure place. just start from top of bios and drill down the options list.

Mr. Bronxteck, perhaps you can talk me thru how you prepared your 2 gig USB equivalent?

I think that is where the issue lays. . .

make sure you have virtualization on in bios

umm, pretend I don't know anything about computers, now- where is that again?

i've went up & down the Bios menus, which section is it in??

after performing a quick google of the said setting which is located in POST Behavior btw, I don't think I have that setting for my D620 which had been flashed to the latest 10a update. . .

thanx for your help btw

now just dump the iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) 1.4 from the thread to the root of the 2 gig thumb drive...

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/276-iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded)-14/

what! it's that easy?

edit: nope, same thing. . .

edit edit: I reformatted the 2gig to fat and reinstalled the XPC efi bootloader and copied the 1.4 files over to it, now I get auto reboots. . .I guess it isn't meant to be. . .

Ok, so I've prepared two USB sticks, a 2 gig for boot up and an 8 gig with Lion restored .img

when I boot my D620 to the 2 gig iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) I get a red MBR Start! with a blinking cursor & it just sits there blinking blinking blinking. . .

am i missing something here?

Nice!!

I will try and make the Dell one not so long

also, I was thinking about making a separate video on how to make the USB ram stick (flash drive) what ever people are calling it these days. . .
