Bronxteck, what's the diff between EDP 2.2 and 2.3?

if yours is anything like mine, it will not boot unless you do a -x. i had to disable Intel Wifi in BIOS to be able to boot. i ended actually buying and installing a broadcom wifi. there's a wifi kext out there (link by Mariusz) for the wifi to actually work. good luck.

many people (including myself) have had problems with Intel's integrated WiFi. I had to replace mine with Broadcom's (see my signature). To get Wifi to work you need to use IO80211.kext from Marsiuz (hope I spelled it correctly). This causes other install problems, possibly your eathernet problem... Try to disable Wifi in your bios for the install process...

'long road' - you have no idea as for learning - i have, and it is invaluable. BTW, having left it for so long, I forgot that I actually have 10.7.3. I downloaded/installed xcode and I am ready to get cranking on apps development i hope that will go just a wee bit easier... again, thank you and the rest of the osxlatitude gang for much needed help. if any of you guys happen to drop by the SF bay area, give me a buzz maybe we get together for coffee or something... cheers!!

well, i guess some good news are in order. i now have a fully functional D630 with both Lion and Win7. For the longest time I was fighting with a native keyboard that would not work. video stuck on 1024x768 and power management not working. I also left it without Chameleon loaded onto the main partition since last time I tried installing it, something went wrong with the Win7 partition and it would not boot. So, I let it sit there for a few days trying to decide what to do next. This morning I decided to once again start from scratch - create a new pen, use latest of everything and see what I get - but, I told myself - one last time, i would install Chameleon on the main partition and play around with the various flags - nothing to lose, right? backed up my plists and dsdt.aml, took a deep breath and - installed Chameleon. I looked for the setup flags, could not find Chameleon application anywhere, noticed that the install put a different dsdt.aml in /Extra and proceeded to reboot. Walla - everything works, keyboard, 1440x900 video (with all other options available too), power management, wifi, audio eathernet, trackpad and even my Windows install is still bootable. Guess what I did next? I created an image file and stored it away that sucker is not going anywhere anymore. finally - phewwww please don't ask me how I go here because i do not remember. If anyone is interested, I can post my dsdt.aml, however, this is a file that was updated somehow by installing Chameleon and it seems to work wonders...and it is different in size than the hi-res dsdt.aml that was circulating around here recently... i don't think i have updated to 10.7.3 yet but I don't think i need to... i guess now i can go on and download the xcode development environment and try to get really dangerous with iphone app development which was the reason i started doing this from the get go. thanks all the nice people on this board who provided much needed help.

what i am trying to tell you is that i have the SAME PROBLEMS as you do. Since we both have A17, and I saw posted success stories about A09, i thought maybe the troubles we're having (keyboard, video res...) has to do with the BIOS...

ok, so now you're having the exact same problem(s) that I do. I asked Simeonoff how his boot pack any different than the one from the 'supported model' in the wiki and he says they are one and the same. I have tried the hi res dsdt.aml that was offered on this thread a little while ago, but that did not help either. i am beginning to think that I should back off my bios version to A09 as Mariusz says that configuration worked for him. BTW, what is your bios version?

i thought EDP 2.2 is for Lion only. I also thought that for Snow Leopard we are supposed to use EDP latest 1.9.x.

Leon, It's already there both in the installed partition /Extra and in the /Extra that's on the USB pen.

if you have Intel wifi, replace with broadcom 4312. to get through install (without wifi) turn wifi off in bios.

Nope

oops, here's the file. bootKBerrors.txt

trackpad works fine. i tried all 4 PS2 drivers in EDP - no cigar. I have been able to capture -v output that shows some issue with ApplePS2keyboard.kext - apparently it's looking for some dependencies it cannot find. please see attached file.

i noticed in your signature that some osx bios mod is applied. can you please tell what problem that solved for you?

i can't find simons anywhere. do you by any chance refer to simeonoff's ?
