So I got a replacement for my failed D630, A17 BIOS, 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, X3100 graphic card, 1440x900 display.I still have issues to install.So far, I followed the install guide:1- Use an 8GB USB pen, GUID partition table, restored the OS X 10.6.0 DVD on the Pen, installed Chameleon then copied the Extra.zip content on the Pen Drive and extracted it (gives an Extra folder with content).2- Boot from the pen drive.I never reach the GUI installer. I boot with the -v option to see what happens, and I pretty much stay stuck after the network driver loads. System sits idle, I can never see the installer, no switch to GUI.I took my HD out of the Dell and plugged it onto a Mac (USB enclosure). I installed OS X 10.6.0 on the external USB drive. Then I installed Chameleon, then the EDP 1.8 package. Did run option 6 (D630 intel). The drive is good on my Mac. Take the drive back to the D630. Boot, get Chameleon's boot menu. Start with -v option. I see the boot sequence running fine, then it switches to GUI, I see a grey screen for about 1-2 seconds. Then the screen turns black and I will never see anything again. The OS appears to be working fine, I just have a black screen. If I plug an external monitor, it is recognized and added as an extended display, image is OK. I just never have video on the internal LCD.Any comment / help welcome.Anyone with a working D630 intel willing to share their boot files and working Extensions.mkext would be welcome.
Hi guys. I have the same problem with black screen. If I use simeonoff's dsdt.aml then video works but audio doesn't. I take dsdt.aml from linux and audio works but video doesn't. How it fix?
