Ok, I'm confused. When I removed the NVD kexts, you guys said there was three of them to remove. I had to remove four. NVDAGF100Hal.kext NVDAGAK100Hal.kext NVDANV50Hal.kext ...and NVDAResman.kext At the moment, I have the three kexts I just got from Patel4Prez. What should I restore?

Black screen. I think I know what I did to mess it up too.

Weird thing, when I removed those kexts, I booted with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, and it had a native 1440x900 res already, turned it off, got back 1280x800. Just a weird thought. So graphics are really working? (I'm myHacking my ML partition right now.) Like, you can ACTUALLY open Launchpad without it flipping tables on you?

I'm about to have at your kexts, will report how it goes later on. Darvinko, sorry about your loss...

Looking in verbose mode, it seems to be having a problem loading what looks to be the kext for the Broadcom card. The line reads this "Cant load kext com.apple.driver.airport.brcm4331" (brcm or brdcm, eitherway, same thing) I also read another line but the words were something like this "Kext failed to load com.apple.driver.airport.brcm4331" something like this. Verbose mode goes too fast, especially with an SSD. It was the only thing in verbose mode that read something about a Wi-Fi loading issue, try it too.

Well, I'm back from a incredibly busy day, and I can confirm that removing those NVD kexts allowed me to boot into ML without the -x flag. After I DIDN'T boot into safe boot however, I got a problem with VoodooHDA giving me a KP. (So don't use it.), and my Wi-Fi broke. What gives?

Sleep might be held off for an unknown amount of time. Searching the web, and I can't find any SleepEnabler.kext that's made for 10.8. I've tried to give 10.7.4 SE a try, but that caused a KP.

That's good to hear. We're getting somewhere with this. I'm done with experimenting for the night, need some sleep.

Just made some little progress. I took the VoodooBattery.kext from my Lion installation and dropped it right into /Extra/Extensions/, went into Disk Utility, and repaired disk permissions (since I can't run myHack in safe boot), rebooted and the battery meter shows up just fine with correct readings. As for emulated speedstep I can't get it going. VoodooTSCSync.kext was already in /Extra/Extensions/, so I ignored it. I took out VoodooPState.kext as well from my Lion installation, dropped it into /Extra/Extensions/ as well, rebooted but PStateMenu says the kext isn't loaded, needs some further investigation. I also took Mariusz's DSDT.aml (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=638), and dropped it inside /Extra/, rebooted with no issue, although I notice nothing different. Tried to have at VoodooHDA to get audio going, booted normally, no effect. SleepEnabler caused a KP, got around it with pmVersion=0 boot argument.

*Sorry for my inactivity, really busy lately Edit: Not capped anymore for some reason. Still getting the infamous ~200MHz difference, but I don't mind it. I'm still going to attempt Emulated Speedstep. Also, if we boot via Safe Boot, there's no really way to tell if the graphics are working or not, right? For example, graphics work nicely on my old D820 here, but when I enable safe boot, it works as choppily as this E6400 is right now on ML. Perhaps we should narrow out the issues of why it refuses to boot without -x?

Darvinko, your method of installation worked perfectly. Booted up into Mac App Store Mountain Lion. I guess I will narrow down the things that are messed up. It sees my rebranded Broadcom card nicely, graphics are indeed choppy (no QE/CI) I even tried using the GraphicsEnabler flag, no audio, dead ethernet, no card reader. I blame it on Safe Boot, but you can't boot into the OS without it.

I'm about to give this a try. Made a separate ML partition to install it to.

So the graphics is supported after all? (QE/CI) Also, good job. If you got GM going, should be no doubt getting the official release up. EDIT: Also, define kext tinkering. What's not working on your system at the moment?

Alright. I shall do that.

Am I able to test? I have another hard drive with Lion on it that's just there.

Eh. I'll just leave it as is. I'd probably mess something up myself, maybe I'll try rebranding on my D820 as a little test subject, see if I can actually get the hang of it, but I'm not gonna' do it right now with my abilities of stupidity. c:

I don't quite understand the rebranding process, infact, looks kinda' intimidating. What's the worst that could happen?

So, I'm not getting the best Wi-Fi speeds because my E6400 doesn't want to use Wireless N for some reason. As you can see here, when connected, it only uses Wireless-G When I'm in System Profiler (Information), under Wi-Fi, my network IS listed as a Wireless N network: So yeah, don't know whats up. It also does this with other networks in my area that uses Wireless N, Windows 7 can use N without any problem on the same network, so it isn't a configuration problem.

Welcome to OSXLatitude, trust me, this site is great. Don't think I would have a working HackBook without it. I also live in Florida!

I'm in dafob's shoes as well. Getting the same issues he's getting. I guess I'll wait until someone gets the installer up and going.

So I managed to install 10.7.4 easily on my Latitude E6400. Looking at other guides on OSXLatitude about using Terminal and all of that good stuff, that intimidated me (because I'm such a noob.) Since nobody has managed to post anything about it. Here's my silly noob proof guide to do it. Might be useful later on 1. Get the 10.7.4 or 10.7.5 update combo from Apple. 2. Also download the AppleACPIPIatform.kext from here 3. Mount the update combo DMG, install it normally. 4. DON'T reboot. Right click on the Installer on the dock, press the option key *or for OSXLatituder's, your Windows key*, and force quit the installer. 5. Get Finder on your top bar, click go, and click Go to Folder, and on the pop up window, type in /System/Library/Extensions/ 6. Find AppleACPIPlatform.kext inside that folder, and DELETE it. 7. Get the AppleACPIPlatform.kext we got earlier, and place it in /System/Library/Extensions/ *You might get a message about it not being installed properly, ignore it.* 8. Get myHack from here 9. Open myHack, input your password, and choose myFix. 10. On the next window, choose your / drive, and the next window will ask if you want to run it in full or quick. Choose full. 11. Wait for it to finish. 12. Go get some coffee or something, its going to take a while... 13. When it's finished, reboot your machine. 14. When you're on the boot loader screen, type in the following flags. -v -f 15. Done! Tried to be as detailed as possible, but thats it. No terminal, no USB drives, nothing! Also, if you were using EDP, make sure that you do a new build.

Can I use your Extras folder to give it a try?

Just wondering if the Latitude E6400 is capable of running OSX Mountain Lion.

My E6400 is having a weird issue with Audio, like, if something loud is playing, you begin hearing this obnoxious crackling. It's something wrong with OSX, anyone know how to fix this?

Is there anything else we could try JawhnL5? I did another clean install.
