  1. I just got an e6400 (waiting for it to be delivered) and want to install Lion onto it.

     

    Since there is not an E.D.P. and bootpack for the e6400 which is the best way to install and configure Lion?

     

    Mariusz posts are fantastic, but for a noob like me I like step by steps.

    dafob's step by step here is good but I want to use the Lion app that I purchased.

     

    So I've created the USB stick and not put anything else in it.

     

    Would the correct way be to copy Mariusz's dsdt.aml to /Extra, install Chameleon, install the applicable kexts from Mariusz's 0EDP.kext pack (not exactly sure how -- I have used multifail before and I have used kext wizard but have not install kexts any other way)?

     

    What exactly does the E.D.P. do?

    Regarding the bootpacks, are they basically a dsdt and other kexts that help to boot each specific Latitude model?

    Can you use the D630 bootpack and E.D.P. with an e6400?

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Read this post regarding boot pack.

  2. Hi Mariusz,

     

    First of all thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing everything with the rest of us! I have never used a Mac before so this was quite a challenge for me, but after working on this for about 12 hours yesterday I managed to get my E6400 up and running smoothly! I have the same setup as you with a P9600 chip. As I'm typing this I just noticed that it is not in your list. The problem I'm having is that I can't shut the computer down. Screen goes blank but the hard drive stays on. Everything is the same as your setup except for the chip and the WiFi card (i have the intel 5100). I am using your kexts and your latest dsdt.aml file (I replaced this on the USB stick prior to installation...it doesn't need to be replaced again right?). If you have any ideas as to why shut down won't work I'd love to hear it. Thanks again!

    Strange the shutdown fix should work.

    Anyways try this DSDT: dsdt-shutdown.aml.zip

    Just rename it to dsdt.aml and replace in /Extra/

  3. I followed the instructions originally posted by Mariusz-fantastic! Thanks ever so....

     

    Just one thing is not working-my DVD has an 'Initialization error' (see attachment)

     

    'A valid video device could not be found for playback'

     

    Any ideas how this can be corrected?

     

    Thanks

     

    :rolleyes:

    As fare as I remember this is because DVD Player expects internal drive but OSX sees it as external. You can patch DVD Player by replacing Internal instances with External (in HEX ofcourse). Google DVD Player external patch for a solution or just forget about DVD Player and use VLC.

     

    But the patching is simple. Search for all 496E7465726E616C and replace with 45787465726E616C in DVD Players binary.

  4. Hi Mariusz,

    I've installed Lion 10.7.0 on my D630 X3100 graphics with 1440x900 res, I'm trying to follow your solution, beacuse I didn't have good graphics acceleration, but after the boot I have a black screen and only works the video with the external VGA out.

     

    Have I done something wrong?

     

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Have you tried DSDT from this post?

  5. Where is the kext? Is it invisible?

    no idea :)

    I know this is old but at least it will be answered:

     

    /System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleWWANSupport2.kext

  6. On my D630/nvidia, downloaded and installed 2.2 EDP on 10.7.2

     

    Every few boots or so, I get stuck on [PCI Configuration Begin].

     

    I've added npci=0x2000, 0x3000, etc

     

    I have also tried both D630 Intel and Nvidia packs and I get the same problems.

     

    Why do I keep getting stuck at [PCI CONFIGURATION BEGIN]???

     

    Sometimes it doesn't show up for 3 boots or so, then it shows up 3 restarts in a row.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    To fix it you should use Kernel Flag npci=0×2000 or apply dsdt fix for Device (PCI0):

    change line:

    Name (_ADR, Zero)

    with this:

    Name (_UID, Zero)

  7. Yes it works!

    The file "SLE.zip" contains the file "IO8021Family.kext" - I have renamed "IO80211Family.kext" and my wifi works.

    Error in file "SLE.zip"? or in some people it works like that?

    Anyway for me to handle this solved my problem :)

    Now I will try an Combo Update 10.7.3 and coming back to you.

     

    10.7.3 ok - Wireless ok :)

    Very big Think "Mariusz" for your tutorial.

    My bad. I have fixed the file name inside SLE.zip and updated first post.

  8. This is not vanilla DSDT, but anyways I can see that it is a totally different structure comparing to my E6400. Your dsdt look like it was treated by some kind of auto patcher. Do speedstep, shutdown, restart works?

    I encourage you to update your post and add more details/specs about your hardware, what kexts you are using etc. You can use my E6400 thread as a template. Keep up the good work.

  9. Hi Stork.

    Nice to see Your research on E6420. To be honest I was thinking about getting one but I've got E6400 1/3 the price so it was no brainier witch one to choose :)

    I'm interested in DSDT differences. Dump clean DSDT.aml from linux and share.

    Anyways good luck.

  10. Good to have another E6400 NVS160m user here. I agree - use legit copy - I have bought Lion on my iTunes account. I'm waiting on how you will progress in OSX install, a specially in case of sleep with your T9600 CPU.

    Also it is good to know that Atheros AR5B91 works out of box - do test it against Lion and confirm that.

    As for tutorial You can use the one on wiki more or less - this will work for SL and Lion. All you basically need is chameleon pen drive with dsdt and fakesmc.kext (if you use external USB keyboard/mouse) - I'll share mine on the second post soon.

     

    Also I encourage all users to update their signature and include simple hardware/software specs of theirs OSXLatitudes.

  11. OK I have a working SD Card Reader with new VoodooSDHC.kext now. (posts updated)

    What interests me now is why you are unable to put your laptop to sleep. Share more info about your BIOS ver and configuration, maybe I could replicate your config and see if mine won't go to sleep to.

  12. In addition to the kexts you posted, attached are files that work well for me with the E6400/E6500/Precision M4400 on LION.

     

    Battery

    VoodooBattery.kext.zip

     

    SD Card Reader

    VoodooSDHC.kext.zip

     

    Sound - This is a customized version of VoodooHDA 2.7.3 that I've edited for the specific audio codec in the E6400. Everything seems to work: volume fix, mute, mic, headphones, etc.

    VoodooHDA.kext.zip

     

    I have tried VoodooSDHC.kext you posted but it doesn't work for me. Can you confirm that it's still working for you?

    As for VoodooHDA this is the same version I'm using the only major difference is:

    <key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfMicVolumeFix</key>
    <true/>
    

    I guess I'll change that and test it out.
