    Dell Latitude E6510 - Boot up and system issues

    in The Archive

    Posted

    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>

    <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

    <string>Yes</string>

    <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

    <string>Yes</string>

    <key>Kernel Flags</key>

    <string>npci=0x2000</string>

    <key>PCIRootUID</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.
