  1. I have the same laptop (D830 + Nvidia 140M). I updated to 10.8.4 and everything works just the same like it did on 10.8.3! The way I updated was through the App Store. Once it was finished, the installer said it failed, but when I rebooted I was in 10.8.4 and every hardware works without any issues (wireless, keyboard, trackpad, sleep/shutdown, graphics, etc.). ACPIPlatform was put back into S/L/E so restart and shutdown had issues, so I had to remove it and ran myFix (full). After that, nothing else wrong to report.
  2. Actually, I just found out the cause of the speakers issue. I was using patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement when I realized my laptop doesn't need it. Removed it and ran myFix and everything is sorted out. Also enabled USB wake to fix the force eject issue. Will let you know if there is any other problems. Thanks and keep up the good work!
  3. ML 10.8.3 is running pretty much flawlessly, excpet for one minor issue dealing with sleep. I always have external speakers connected to my laptop. When I put it to sleep and turn it back on, the sound always reverts back to internal speakers. I have to disconnect the speakers and plug them in again to get it back to headphones. Also, whenever I have a USB external drive connected, waking from sleep will always force eject the drive and give me an error message. I'm running the latest EDP with the newest FakeSMC + MacBook Pro 5,1 smbios. I am using patched AppleIntelCPUManagement and disabled both nullAppleIntelCPUManagement and Sleepenabler. I tried to use a different audio kext, but on EDP I can't seem to select anything else other than patched AppleHDA. Does the latest version of VoodooHDA kext work on this laptop? Because if I can remember, I used that on my D620 running Lion and sleep didn't have this issue.
  4. Thank you very much for supplying this info. I put the latest 2.8.1 version of VoodooHDA back and then turned off bluetooth completely in the BIOS (I don't ever use it anyways). So far, it has pretty much completely solved the problem. I also did the second suggestion of repairing permissions. Though I keep a habit to do that from time to time. So far it is running well. I will let you know if it kernel panics again. Crossing my fingers it won't.
  5. Successfully installed OS X 10.7.5 and compiled using the latest version of EDP 5; however, I am still having minor audio issues. My first build was using VoodooHDA 2.8.1. After boot up, the audio worked perfect. However, after about 30 minutes or so, the audio just completely shuts off and stops working. The output device (headphones) is still being recognized by the OS and you can still adjust the volume, but no audio comes out at all. I can only get the audio back after restarting. So I went to build again with VoodooHDA 2.7.4. This version worked perfect and doesn't have the problem 2.8.1 does. However, I seem to be getting random KPs with it, or I think. At least one KP a day. I can't narrow it down to it being related to the VoodooHDA though, as when it does KP, nothing shows up except the gray screen telling you to restart the computer. Can't find anything in logs either. The reason I think it's audio related is because it always happens during the time I'm using iTunes and playing music. I haven't tested 2.8.1 long enough to see if it is more stable than 2.7.4, can't get pass the audio not working after awhile. Tips?
  6. I had the exact same problem as you did and it drove me crazy for a few days. I did manage to circumvent it by doing lots of extra work, and in the end I got 10.7.5 perfectly running on my D620 with Intel GMA (except for sleep, which I don't care about). Here's my whole story and ordeal and how I got it working in the end. At first, I made the myHack USB boot drive + EDP boot pack for the D620 Intel GMA 1440x900. Booted fine, but during installation I could not get the keyboard and trackpad to work. I plugged in an external keyboard and mouse and that worked fine. Formatted the internal hard disk with GUID partition and installed 10.7 on the drive. The install seem to went fine and there were no hiccups; selected "Yes" to all the myHack prompts to remove incompatible kexts, and selected "Use My Own" for the Extras folder. Upon restarting however, I was greeted to the infamous boot0 error. So I thought perhaps Chameleon didn't install correctly. Booted up with the myHack USB drive again, went to myHack under Utitlies and select to install Chameleon on the internal drive. It installed Chameleon, but I got a message saying: ERROR: Could not find valid partition table on device /dev/disk0 Unable to flag active partition I thought that was strange, so I went to manually flag the partition active within Terminal. Doing that failed, as Terminal kept outputting "cannot execute binary" whenever I used diskutil command. I tried to narrow the problem down to the internal hard drive, but it wasn't the case. Tried installing Chameleon on another freshly formatted external USB hard drive within the myHack USB 10.7 installer and still received the "unable to flag active partition" error. So now I thought the myHack USB 10.7 installer is corrupted somehow. I went and set up the myHack USB boot drive again, reinstalled 10.7 files on it using a different 10.7 install app, but no such luck. I think I went through three different 10.7 install apps and all had the same problem. I even used a different USB thumb drive with the same problem. I tried the myHack USB 10.7 installer on a completely different computer as well (an HP DV2000 laptop) and myHack still couldn't flag the parition active and terminal still kept giving cannot execute binary errors. After all this, I decided to use GParted to manually flag the partition active, as I couldn't do so in the myHack USB 10.7 installer. Even when flagged active, it still would give me boot0 error. I was really out of options at this point and didn't know what else to do. Thinking of complete failure, I installed Snow Leopard back onto my internal hard drive using the old D620SLV1.iso boot CD. Everything went fine as it should and the 10.6 was fully bootable and working again. What I did next did fix the problem fortunately. I booted myHack USB drive again and instead of installing 10.7 to the internal hard disk, I installed 10.7 on the external USB hard drive mentioned earlier. Of course, it would not boot from it and give me boot0 error. However, I booted back into Snow Leopard on my internal hard drive, and ran myHack from there. I then installed Chameleon on the external hard drive. This time, I did not get any errors at all. Restarted and tried to boot from the external hard drive with 10.7 installed, and it booted without the boot0 error! With 10.7 running, I proceeded to install the latest EDP configured for the laptop. All was working pretty much perfect, but I wanted to get 10.7 working on my internal hard drive and not an external USB hard drive. So I decided to clone the external hard drive to the internal hard drive using SuperDuper. After it was done, I ran myHack from within 10.7 and installed Chameleon again to the internal hard drive to make sure everything was perfect. Now 10.7 is running perfect on the internal hard drive, and I updated to the latest 10.7.5 without issues. I just wished the entire installation process was easier and simpler as it had advertised. I'm not sure why I ran into these issues, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Hope that helped.
