Make sure you have a supported WiFi card in your machine. If you have an Intel card, it will not work. The best way is to remove the bottom and physically inspect it.

I've tried for hours on end with no success.

Did you try adding the device ID of your graphics card to the info.plist of the kext and reinstall it?

PRAM - parameter random-access memory is stored on a small section of your memory, and contains information about system settings, including things such as your startup disk. It varies from model to model and with devices attached, so it is conceivable that the PRAM configuration (or location) was different (and as a result, not accessible) from the model you created the stick on to the model you are installing in on.

I, and everyone else who uses this forum, appreciate your input. Ironically, when I was setting up my HP DC7900, I was using my hackintosh (my E6500) which was running 10.8.x (I think I had upgraded to 10.8.2 at the time, but I honestly don't remember), so I'm not certain if the OS version is responsible, or another variable. That being said, any further update which might shed additional light on the issue will also be appreciated. Thanks again for the input.

The two systems are nearly identical, and as such the installation is also. You will see for example, the Mountain Lion Anyone thread has a subtitle indicating it is an install guide useable for either/both model(s).

If so the IntelE1000e.kext should work

For sound try VooDooHDA 2.7.4. For ethernet need to know the card.

Patel4Prez has written an excellent guide for installation on the E6410, which should be right on par with your specs. See it here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1695-e6410-mountain-lion-guide/

I can only agree with you. It is not exclusive to any model either. See here (from the Mountain Lion Anyone thread): Posted 18 November 2012 - 09:56 PM Wafic, on 18 November 2012 - 11:15 AM, said: Ok after 100 attempt's i manged to install 10.8 i had to buy the image from APP Store, installing perfect with no errors, seems the ones i download from the internet all have problems!! got 9 copy's of 10.8 and 2 copy's 10.8.2 all didn't work for some reason the only one worked is the one i bought from app store seems intresting. Thanks for the help Guys That is why one of the first questions I asked was if you had gotten it from the app store or from a torrent. The torrent downloads can often be corrupt. Glad it worked out for you! Considering the time invested in doing this, not to mention the time downloading a torrent, it seems spending the $20 (US) is well worth the time and effort saved.

My mistake, you clearly indicated 10.8, but I read 10.8.2. Did you use the IOPCIFamily.kext to replace the original as indicated in the initial post? The instructions are in the preparing the installer section. It is important to run my fix (Full) after doing this.

Try changing the ACPIPlatform.kext with the one linked near the bottom of the first post. Also, is your image from the Apple Store or torrent and are you sure it is 10.8.0?

Jebediah, I wish I could help answer your question, but can not as I do not have a E6410. I believe he has used this sleep solution on his own E6410. Just wanted to let you know Patel4Prez lives in an area which was impacted significantly by the recent storm on the US East Coast, and as such, may not have electric and/or WiFi restored yet. The area may not be restored before another storm comes on Wednesday, and may cause additional delays. I'm sure he will respond as soon as he is able.

Frankly, that one has me stumped. I tried using a different method to install ML on an HP DC7900 desktop and continually got that error. I tried using different USB's, different OS images, doing security wipes of the hard drive (in case there were remnants of a previous install), booting the installer with different boot flags, etc., all with no luck. The only thing I could find was real Mac users got around it resetting PRAM on their machines. The only things I might suggest are 1. re-downloading the ML image (especially if from a torrent). 2. Re-create your boot stick or, 3. if possible, install using another machine and move the hard drive to your machine. Make sure your machine has the proper settings as outlined in the guide.

The reason they haven't worked for you is honestly, you don't have the basic knowledge needed to create a hackintosh. There are a few methods out there that don't require use of a machine that runs OSx, but the result is what you have gotten, they often don't work (and not just for you). The information on this website is designed for use on the models listed in the bootpacks. Once you have properly created your installer, it is the easiest way to create a proper and sound installation. Distros (such as Hazard), often leave you with an unfinished product (which doesn't work properly). They often have more kexts then you need, which often creates conflicts in your operating system because they are written for many makes and models. Yes, you will need a Mac (borrowed, used from school or a library), to create your own. Take a deep breath, start with E.D.P., it lays out the items you will need, and explains how to use them (there are clickable links in the instructions - for example MyHack, telling you how to set it up), how to add a bootpack (which are found under the bootpack tab and are designed for your specific model - just make sure you pick the right one - I believe you said yours was the GMA model). Then go through the installation procedure. After you install, follow the instructions for downloading E.D.P. (by the way, it stands for Extra Driver Package). These are the kexts that are pretty much automatically added to your installation that will make your install function properly, without wondering which kexts to install (which avoids making the system unbootable). The other thing you need is patience. You will probably make mistakes. You may have to reinstall multiple times. If you want it as badly as you seem to, it will be worth it in the end. The finished product from here will stand up to any hackintosh out there and will be easier to upgrade. Read everything three times before you do it, and again, remember, you will make mistakes, you are not alone, read the forums, most everyone does, especially when starting out.

Without understanding how the process works, what the different terminology is, the reason you need a working Mac, hackintosh or virtual machine (I hope this isn't too technical), short of someone coming to your house and installing it for you, you won't be able to do so. This is a process which requires some effort on your part. I have participated in many different websites and forums involving this procedure and they are all similar in that you have to be a willing participant (and willing to educate yourself). If you really want to run OSx on your D620, you may have to read through the forums where many people have come for assistance and been helped. The difference is they have been willing to learn and have researched what they are doing, using google and reading the forum, getting a better understanding of what is involved and why. It would also appear that if you were really interested, you would have found a website that explained the process to your liking at some point between August and now. Ironically, you ask if someone knows how to do an install using iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) instead, indicating it seems more straightforward (to you). Apparently, not straightforward enough for you to comprehend, or is it a lack of effort to find the website that promotes that method? You can find out here (or a dozen other places), but it will require some effort on your part.

I'm not sure any of the bootloaders from here will work with your setup. A quick Google search doesn't show any documented success with installation on your machine. If you are adventurous, you might want to google: touchsmart iq500 hackintosh, check what methods others have used, how much progress they have made and if they have made enough progress to make you feel comfortable trying. As far as adding kexts, they can be dependent on which hardware you have as well as which other kexts you have installed. Often, with undocumented progress, it can be a matter of trial and error.

I see from your post in the other thread that the problem has been resolved.

Gorgo, Battery drain at a faster rate is normal when running OSx. Mountain Lion has had some issues early on with battery usage that was partially addressed (but still needs more attention in my opinion) with updates.

As DaFOB indicated, it should work natively on either the E6400 or E6500. Have you installed OSx by this guide already?

Where are the NVidia kexts from? Did you or where you got them from modify them by adding the Device and Vendor ID's into the info.plist. That is what we had done to get the E6400/E6500 series to boot to ML. We had added the string: 0x06eb10de&0xffe0ffff, (which includes the Device and Vendor ID's) to the IOPCIMatch key in each one of the kext's info.plists.

Gray is not used. White and Black are used, usually connected above the respective arrows on the label (Usually the black gets attached above the solid black arrow and the white lead above the white arrow (outlined with black)). Some have reported better results switching the two. As for transmit speed, 150 MB/s is maximum for a 2.4 GHz router at N speed. A 5 GHz N speed router is capable of 300 MB/s.

The architecture of this is different than yours, so it would most likely not work without modification (different processor, graphics card...). There is a post here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1109-e6420-research-thread/ by member Stork using an alternate method you might want to view. He also makes suggestions for wireless card replacement.
