Okay, so after fighting this for a while. I went in, EDPed the system and removed a bunch of kext (VoodooPstate, sleepenabler and so forth) went through the very excellent instructions once again and HD video has almost no pauses now, and.....

 

 

Thanks for the great work!

 

Peter

Let us know how it turns out. I've similar hardware and have been playing with the performance tuning for a while now to no luck.

Okay,

 

So if you don't do things backwards and especially don't use myfix the D830 works with 10.7.4.

 

I highly recommend installing EDP3 before upgrading and not using the myhack version of myfix.

 

Right now, everything is working, sleep, wireless, etc with the following exceptions:

 

The two top mousepad buttons, my favorites.

Lots of HD access but that often happens on a fresh upgrade for me.

Ethernet, but I've not looked at it.

 

So, here is what I did....

 

Updated to 10.7.4 with the autoupdates (I could have sworn I turned that off)

After reboot and applying the black screen fix everything was working.

Read on this thread that myfix full was a good thing to do, so did it.

Lost my network card.

Figured out silksvn on windows.

Got EDP3 and did a build.

The recommended parameters caused a "must reboot" while redoing the kext cache.

Tried the following settings:

Model selected: D830-nvidia (Dell Latitude D830, Nvidia graphics card)

PS2 driver: 1

Battery driver: VoodooBattery

Install NullCPUPowerManagement: yes

Install SleepEnabler: yes

Install AppleHDADisabler: yes

Install VoodooTSCsync: yes

Use custom kernel: no

Use custom chameleon: no

Emulated speedstep: yes

 

And here I am....

 

Thanks for the help with the myfix problem Syonagar! I'll try to work on the excessive HD access next.

 

PeterC

Syonagar,

 

Thanks, that will have to wait until I'm home so I can get a hard wire connection. I'm not familiar enough with SVN to grab the files to a stick.

I'm curious if you ran myfix as per the 10.7.4 thread? My card a Broadcom 4311 seemed to work well after the update, until I ran myfix.

 

PeterC

G'day folks,

 

10.7.4 went pretty good for me, No crashes with long load times, but the ACPI fix above solved that.

 

BUT

 

After running myfix full, and a reboot my wireless stopped working. No device detected.

 

The wireless did work from the very first boot of 10.7.4 and for 2 reboots until I ran myfix.

 

In previous versions of lion, a permission repair fixed this sort of problem but no luck so far. I've tried replacing the IO80211 kext with the broadcom 43XX rev 2 kext. My wireless reports as a broadcom 4311.

 

Any suggestions?

Okay, thought I'd tell me story for those with D830s (I've created 5 D830 hackintoshes and one D620 so far)

 

The D830s I've worked on have no bluetooth, but everything including sleep without the BIOS password hack is working fine.

 

So, I installed 10.6.6 on the usb pen drive and copied over EDP 1.9.2.

 

1. Install snow leopard booting from the usb key.

2. EDP and kext #11 (D830 with nvidia)(I said yes to everything and selected the apple driver for the touchpad)

3. Turn off airport/e-net

4. In EDP run the Chameleon wizard. (Don't install just run it)

5. Turn on airport/e-net

6. Select update software from Chameleon wizard menu (install and restart Chameleon)

7. Install Chameleon on the partition

8. Apple Software update for OSX

9. EDP again, and kext.

 

A nice, fully functional D830 hackintosh including sleep without password, airport.

 

Next step, Lion.

Bronxteck solved it.

 

Details of what I did are:

1. Disconnect Enet and turn off airport

2. Run EDP and start the Chameleon Wizard

3. Turn on Airport

4. From menu Chamelion Wizard > Check for Updates

5. Install and restart

6.??

7. Profit!

 

Also, I had to update (via apple menu) SL to the latest version and reapply my Kext config to get sleeping and shutdown to work properly. As far as I can tell now, everything is perfect!

 

PeterC

KK, will take a look at that. Thx. (Just had it happen on the aforementioned office mate's D830)

 

PeterC

Edited:Hmm, oddnes, nothing to see here... Office mate just booted it while I was playing with the usb stick. So, crashing is normal for Chameleon install??

 

G'day folks,

 

Working with a D830 w/ nvidia graphics. Although I've bought the software I'm working with a torrented install image.

 

Did as much research as I know how but when I run the Chameleon wizard (from EDP1.9.2 menu) I get a "Chameleon Wizard quit unexpectedly". Everything else seems to work fine. I've created a new build, OSXSL is responsive. I just have to use the usbkey to boot it and would love to fix that!

 

The only comment I've seen regarding this is "If Chameleon crashes, just re-run it." on the EDP page. Done that lots, no help. Partitioned and started from scratch again just in case, no help.

 

I am pretty much an OSX noob, with some linux, HP-UX background. Let me know if I'm missing the obvious or can find the information somewhere else, please?
