One more thing, it is sometimes hanging on boot at voodoobattery.kext

I forgot to mention, this is Lion 10.7 flat.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't realize I could work from a prior install.

 

I booted with myHack, same install as before, and from the myHack utility installed the d630 extra with Simeonoff's DSDT and the tweaked boot.plist, then installed Chameleon and restarted.

 

I got the same kernel panic:

 

Backtrace cpu1 frame return address 4 potential args on stack

kernel extensions in backtrace

org.mozodojo.intelcpumonitor(1.0)

dependency: org.metkas.fakesmc(1111)

 

What are your thoughts?

If your friend's laptop has the high-resolution screen, you'll have to manually set the resolution in the boot.plist to its native 1440x900x32. It might also help if you use Simeonoff's dsdt.aml file instead of the standard included in EDP 2.2

 

Keep us updated on how it goes, it sounds like your friend has the same laptop I'm working on and I'm running into some challenges with this one.

Hi smp,

 

Try to install EDP and run myfix full mode. You also need to recopy the dsdt.aml that worked for you previously. That should solve the problems.

 

Cheers!

 

I followed your advice, a new install followed by EDP (I also tried again running myfix full before EDP). It seems that no matter what I try, installing EDP 2.2 causes a kernel panic 3 seconds after the installation completed, referencing VoodooHDA. Tried to reboot, kernel panic during boot referenced IntelCPUMonitor, and dependency FakeSMC. So it no longer boots from USB when selecting the HDD partition.

 

Whenever I try to install EDP 2.2 the result is pretty much the same. And I have selected various options, default Apple PS2, Voodoo PS2, Slice PS2, Speedstep emulator and not, Null power management and not, Sleep enabler and not.

 

Any ideas?

My D630 (Intel 1440x900) installation went mostly okay.

 

I had to use a different DSDT.aml than the default from myHack 3.1, and I had to edit the org.chameleon.boot.plist to 1440x900x32 to get the resolution right. And there's still no audio, but that's a minor issue right now.

 

I can boot successfully from the MyHack Install Disk as long as I select the local HDD. I'm logged in, the keyboard, trackpad, wifi, bluetooth, etc. all work great. In fact, I'm posting from that boot right now.

 

I installed Chameleon, but I did not install EDP 2.2 - it seems like it causes everything to break.

 

If I try to boot from the HDD it hangs, sometimes during fsck, sometimes shortly after. There is no kernel panic though.

 

I'm not sure what's going on. Any advice?

 

If I could boot without the MyHack Install Disk, I think that would be good enough for now, but if I copy the .kexts from /extra/ to my HDD's /extra/ that's not really doing the trick. What am I missing?
