  1. As far as I know, the Radeon HD 6570 is natively supported but you probably have to play around with framebuffer personalities. Can you please post the card device id to be sure of the model? In Linux, use Terminal command lspci -nn; in Windows, go to the Device Manager->Driver tab for the card.
  2. You would assume correctly. There are two things you may want to try: 1) identify your SDHC device in IOReg, then patch your DSDT to pretend it's compatible with OS X's default model (details are available in various E6xxx guides, for instance here). This has low chances of success on an old system such as the E6400 2) use VoodooSDHC kext, patched with your SD card device id (you'll find details in same various E6xxx guides, for instance here). This has higher chances of success on the E6400
  3. Your Sandy Bridge CPU is compatible with any recent OS X versions, the oldest you could run being Lion 10.7. You should be able to install and run Yosemite 10.10.5 without problems and El Capitan 10.11 once it comes out in a few months. Your integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 is not supported in recent versions of OS X (at least not beyond ML as I understand). You'll therefore have to make sure your discrete add-on Radeon HD is. What exact model is it, can you post the vendor/device id? If your Radeon HD turns out unsupported, you'll have no other choice but replace it by a supported nVidia/AMD model or replace the CPU by a Sandy Bridge with integrated HD3000 or an Ivy Bridge with integrated HD4000...
  4. Not if it runs through Optimus technology, which I expect it does. That's not supported on Hackintosh.
  5. Try the various Azul framebuffer layout-id values to get full graphics acceleration. You can find value details at RampageDev's blog in his Intel HD guide. When you specify the ig-layout-id in Clover (or in Chameleon to that effect), bear in mind that you enter the values in reverse order. For instance for ig-layout-id 0x0a260006, you'd enter: 0600260A.
  6. According to Dell's specs, the variants are only on CPU. The E6330 supports Sandy Bridge i3 CPU with HD3000 graphics and Ivyy Bridge i3/i5/i7 with HD4000. The rest is the same. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/latit/dell_latitude_e6330_spec_sheet.pdf
  7. i3, i5 or i7 CPU (not chipset - a chipset includes memory controller, disk controller, etc.), it should make absolutely no difference in terms of installation process if the guides all apply to the exact same laptop. It's the same Intel QM77 chipset and same hardware accessories such as USB controller, LAN card or audio device. Only the SSDT (for CPU power management) is specific to each CPU. Maybe you followed guides for nVidia models. You may follow guides for other Ivy Bridge/HD4000-only laptops of the same family, .i.e. E6230, E6430 or E6530. Only the DSDT and SSDT will differ. You're not very specific regarding the troubles you've met, so difficult to say more until you do.
  8. Of course there will be an alert on this kext signature, that's perfectly normal: the kext is patched to support Sandy/Ivy bridge CPU on the locked-MSR BIOS, therefore it's no longer vanilla! Without this patched kext, you'd need to use NullCPUPM (and obtain no CPU power management at all as a consequence) to avoid KP. However, unrecognized kext signature is not a problem in Yosemite as long as you use the boot option kext-dev-mode=1 and that's already included in the pack I posted. Bottom line is that this has nothing to do with your BOOT error, which is due to an incorrectly installed bootloader. Maybe you are facing the well-know 4K-sector HDD issue, in which case look it up to apply the fix.
  9. You probably need some DSDT patches. Look at Rehabman's repository, he's got patches for LID fixes re: sleep & wake. They work fine and I use them on the E6440. I think I also posted details in my E6440 guide, look it up.
  10. Patched the SNB framebuffer kext for VGA & HDMI. It's the same usual patch as described in Enabling VGA & HDMI on HD3000 thread. Edit - 19/08/2015: revisited the old SNB patch to add DVI output when docking the laptop to docking stations such as E-Port/E-Port plus. This now extends video output to DVI in addition to VGA and HDMI. For reference, patched code is as follows: 01 02 04 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00 // Nb of connectors -> "04" 05 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 // Built-in LCD display 02 05 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 // HDMI output port 06 02 00 00 00 04 00 00 09 00 00 00 // VGA output port 04 06 00 00 00 04 00 00 09 00 00 00 // DVI output port located at offset 2B650. 10.11DB6_new-patch_AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext.zip
  11. You'd also need to remove any sleepimage file in /var/vm.
  12. AR9380 works OOB -> https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/ Ensure Wifi is enabled in BIOS and that wireless On/Off switch is not set to off position.
  13. So far, I've not suggested any ways to fix sleep, I've merely asked you to check hibernation mode... This being said, hibernation must be disabled on a Hackintosh, i.e. you just run plain old sleep; currently it is on (hibernate mode set to 3), hence your trouble. Hibernation mode can be defaulted back by an OS X update. Fix sleep with the following Terminal commands: sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage
  14. Up to DB6 and, again, encountered trouble with the cache/prelinked kernel. Basically, FakeSMC kept getting omitted due to unsigned/unverified status. In the end, I had to reboot in single-user mode, load the kext manually and then, result normal boot. Once system was up and running, I was then able to manually fully rebuild the cache/prelinked kernel. 10.11DB6_patched_AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext.zip 10.11DB6_patched_AppleIntelHD5000Graphics.kext.zip 10.11DB6_patched_IOGraphicsFamily.kext.zip
  15. What's the current hibernate mode? Check it out with Terminal command: sudo pmset -g You may also check presence of an hibernation file: ls -la /var/vm and, if found, delete it: sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage
  16. As far as I know, the Intel graphics kexts from 10.9 do not work in 10.10, so that would be a nae...
  17. Since you need to boot without the cache (which is abnormal behaviour, even after a 10.10 update), once you're up and running, rebuild it manually with the following Terminal commands: sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
  18. We need a raw IOReg + extracted raw DSDT. An existing patched DSDT file is of no use here.
  19. Installed DP6 and met trouble at 1st reboot. Enoch would not boot 10.11 any more. Tried r2725 and r2737 without success. I had to revert to a Clover r3224 USB key to boot DB6 without kextcache and finalise its installation. Then, I could only reboot DB6 (with Enoch and/or Clover) after I actually deleted the kextcache altogether. Annoying thing, which happens also on the D630: 10.11 prompts me at every single reboot if I want to open Display menu & HWMonitor (both on autostart mode). Sigh... NB: DP6 not in my list of installed updates so I can only guess that, somehow, it did not go 100% well...
  20. Behaviour verified and confirmed under Yos 10.10.4, 10.10.5 and El Capitan DB.
  21. You're mistaken, there are no OS X drivers for Intel wireless cards. They're all unsupported. You'll have to replace it by a supported model or use a supported dongle. Please browse through the non-exhaustive list we've published in the R&D forum subsection.
  22. As always, please search the forum before posting. All the answers are already there... As Jake indicated, 1st gen Intel HD graphics of those Arrandale-based E6x10 is only partially supported due to video interface. Nothing you can do about it. This makes this specific series mostly unsuitable to run OS X. There's plethora of threads on this matter on all hackintosh forums including this one... You'll find a good presentation on eDP (vs. LVDS) here. Same thing for your Broadcom card, it's unsupported: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/. You'd have to replace it by a supported card or USB dongle.
  23. Enoch has been supporting ElCapitan since r2725. I did successfully test versions r2725 and r2737 (latest packaged version published on IM at time of writing) and all was very good. Or was it? Those versions actually proved to be problematic for Haswell-based laptops with HD4200, HD4400 or HD4600 as they included a replacement of mobile GPU id by that of desktop id 0412. In the case of my mobile HD4600, this was a no-no and I could not use 10.11 compatible Enoch versions to boot my 10.10 and/or 10.11 partitions. They prevented full QE/CI! Fortunately, our good friend ErmaC has now repackaged a new version r2748 that no longer replaces those Haswell mobile GPU ids by that of desktop. This Enoch version is just perfect to boot 10.11 as well as previous OS X versions on Haswell-based laptops. My E6440 is very thankful for that! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/71-enoch/ NB: Compared to the previous versions, r2478 has a little defect at Apple logo boot screen/progress bar, but that's just cosmetic.
  24. For SMBIOS, try iMac14,1 or iMac14,2. If I were you, I'd try to temporarily remove the nVidia card just to get the system going with the built-in HD4400. Then, once that is sorted, out the nVidia back in the PC and try to switch graphics to the nVidia card.
