  1. Well... after rechecking my bios settings and using the 830 intel 1920x1080 bootpack i finally see the installation gui and now lion is installing..

    I'll wait to see if it will survive a reboot ;-)

    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.

  2. I have a D630 that I installed Lion using the Pen Drive method and I got everything working after installing EDP 2.2 except for the Ethernet. Is there a Kext to get the Ethernet working?

    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...

  3. wow ovi.... what a long road you have taken.... I'm glad finally thing are working the correct way for you... but I'm sure you have learned a lot on your journey.... cheers mate.

    '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!!

  4. 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.

  5. In your case, I don't think that you have a version BIOS problem. Try the myhack method again.

     

    I have A17 BIOS installed. The system apparently works fine, only I need to set the internal keyboard, mouse and sound buttons and finally set the screen to 1440x900 res.

     

    I was trying to set DSDT files, to use Chamemelon wizard but I have not experience about this and not working the changes or have many kernel panic and I have to reinstall again...

     

    I would like to know how I can fix it step by step this problems..

    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...

  6. I'm sorry I edited the post. It's 10.7.0 Lion version

    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?

  7. Hi all,

     

    I'm trying to install Lion 10.6.0 with the myHack method and simonoff's extra folder but I have some problems...

     

    My system is a D630 with :

     

    - Intel Core2 Duo T7500 2,20GHz processor

    - Intel GMA965/X3100 graphics.

     

    After first boot, I tried to restore the simonoff's extra folder with myhack whithout results...for this reason, I've install EDP 2.2 package but now...

     

    - I have only 1024x768 resolution

    - Internal keyboard, sound buttons and mouse not working (I'm using externals keyboard and mouse).

     

    ¿Have I selected the wrong options in the EDP 2.2? what are the correct settings for my model in the wizard?

     

    WIFI, bluetooth, battery icon and sound works...

     

    How I can install GMAX3100 with 1440x900 high resolution and set internals mouse and keyboard and sounds buttons?

     

    Thank you very much!

    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.

  8. Hi

    This is what I have done so far

    -Updated the bios to A17

    -Changed the sata-mode to ahci

    -Created the usb-install stick (8GB) with Myhack-method, used Osx Lion and the D630 extra-folder

    -The installation boots up from the stick but soon after the apple logo appears this error:

     

    Image 1

     

    Hopefully someone can help me.

    if you have Intel wifi, replace with broadcom 4312.

    to get through install (without wifi) turn wifi off in bios.

  9. the problem is the DSDT.aml you need the high res one. also make sure that in the boot plist it's set to your higher res.... if simons boot disc has com.apple.boot.plist then if your running chameleon 2svn then it needs to be renamed to org.chameleon.Boot.plist yes thats a capital B in boot.... take his Extra and use it as your own....

    Cheers and welcome to osxlatitude.

    i can't find simons anywhere.

    do you by any chance refer to simeonoff's ?

  10. Dear ovi,

     

    You can display the -v printout by typing "sudo dmesg" in the terminal. Dmesg prints it from a log file which should be somewhere in the /var or /var/log directory.

     

    Cheers!

    Dear Syonagar,

    thank you so much. I should have asked this question when I just got started.

  11. mesh to the docking station's video port but nothing further. what does that mean? are you trying to do this while being on a docking station?

    Bronxteck,

    I just noticed that during the boot process there is a message about failure to load

    ApplePS2keyboard due to dependencies.

    Do you know what these dependencies are ?

    Or how do I go about finding that out?

    Also, is the -v output being stored in a log file somewhere?

    If not, is there a way to direct this output to a file ?

  12. ovi1,

    this is the guide and boot files i used to get my 630 bootable and running (sorta): http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256729

    no matter how i installed lion, i had to use a usb keyboard the first time to get to registration. (DON'T REGISTER!!!)

    only after that did i run edp 2.1 (it's obviously geared to the 630).

    then i rebooted with the usb Again! all the way to the install page, ran Disk Utilities and repaired permissions/disk.

    then quit the installer (restart) with the usb one more time. install chameleon (the one that comes with edp works with edp) and wala!!

    my 630 w/intel 3100 graphics is running sweet! i haven't found the right hda version for it for some stupid reason, but for my money; it's one sweet macbook pro.

    i haven't updated to 10.7.3 yet, (i'm waiting to see what gets broken in other people's machines first, before i decide to break mine) but 10.7.2 is working fine.

    thanX to everyone who ever wrote a guide, or helped a newbie, or patched a driver or paid forward for that jerk in the rearview mirror a cup of coffee; you're all good people in my book.

    i followed this procedure (Maldon) step by step for each word.

    I ended up with a USB without a mach_kernel (would not boot).

    Once I added mach_kernel from my own machine, the boot started but did not go far (I forget the step it hung up on).

    You guys are all much better hackers than I am, apparently :)

    The best I can do is use myHack with Simeonoff's goodies, but even this leaves me with no wifi, no ethernet and no use of native keyboard.

    At this point I can only assume that my laptop is somehow broke.

    The next best idea would be that ya'll take something for granted and do not mention it in your posts...

    I am waiting for a broadcom wifi card to see if this improves any.

    My configuration is listed down in my signature area and I would welcome any help.

  13. Hi All :-)

     

    Posting this on my nice new stable 10.6.3 SL.

     

    It took me a few days and (If I am honest) more than 50 re-installs but I got there in the end.

     

    A rather strange method of installing and getting things going and nothing like any of the guides I have read but at least it's working.

     

    The DSDT was the first stumbling block - Once I got that sorted out and a working org.chameleon.Boot.plist in place, things started to move much faster.

     

    I'll happily post up the way that worked for me later this evening in the hope that it can help you guys above.

     

    Regards,

     

    Tim.

    kudos!

    now, recipe please :)

  14. How i see ur website osxlatitude video show Dell d630 install mac Great! i don't understand! If Mac Snow Leaped 10.6.3 or 10.6.8 Install D630 Possible?

    you need to post a new thread - this will enable the administrators to answer your question.

    I am only a user just like you, and my d630 does not work either.

    You have to do a lot of research to find out if your particular configuration is

    compatible - every little difference between your model/configuration to one that

    works could be a reason for this to not work for you.

    You have to do a lot of research and you have to start a new thread from the main page.

  15. I know this may not be the place to ask this but Is there a way to create the usb drive without using myhack? I only have access to a leopard dual g5 powermac. I have this exact computer I would love to get up and running on lion.

    your nearest apple store is where you can get a reliable answer on this one.

    google is the next best thing.

    i would rank at about 10,000 and my take is that Lion does not run on PowerPC, but this is really

    an unsupported impression I got...
