Hopefully I have come to the right place for help... I have Lion 10.7.2 running on my Dell Latitude E6510 with a few issues that I have been working hard to resolve.
The first issue is that I can only boot up with the USB drive and using the following command line options:
-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=YES
If I try to boot with out the USB Drive, the system gets hung up with a "PCI configuration begin" message. I originally installed the system with unifail as instructed by tonycrap86.com. The real problem comes when I try to install multifail or EasyBeast. The system will crash, so I installed Chameleon v2 r1777 and Chameleon Wizard. That seems to make my system stable, and I tried setting these options in Chameleon Wizard:
Boot Flags:
GUI
Default Partition hd(0,2)
Misc:
npci=0x2000
32-bit
Ethernet Built in
System Type 2-Laptop
Graphics:
Graphics Enabler
Here is a copy of my org.chameleon.Boot.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2)</string>

<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>0</string>
<key>SystemType</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>arch</key>
<string>i386</string>
</dict>
</plist>
No matter what I do or check nothing seems to work.
My other issues are:
My internal keyboard and track pad work but the system keeps saying that they are not connected, so I have to have a mouse and keyboard connected at all times.
I installed drivers for my printer and scanner, and the system sees the hardware but yet it will not use them. Example, if I try to add a printer it ill not see the unit.
Finally, I still need to get the wireless network card to work.
I have been fighting the good fight for a couple of weeks, and I love Lion so far. I just need to get these items fixed so I can finally declare that I am done. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
