    Thread cleaned up and locked. This guide is somehow deprecated as it mostly applied to pre-released Yosemite versions and more recent, more accurate guides were published since. All support queries to be posted in the Help and Support->Dell systems-> Latitude E Series section of the forum.

    Jolly Roger, please post specs of your laptop. If you've got a different CPU, boot without SSDT and you may have to add NullCPUPowerManagement until you generate your own CPU-specific SSDT to handle native CPU power management.
  3. Hervé
    You may need to use the very recent version that was published with apparent support for 10.11. v3224 if I'm not mistaken. Hasn't worked for me yet...

    You may want to refer to this recent thread for guidance. You can create your Mavericks installer with myHack + 10.9(.0) Installation app/ESD dmg or 10.9.5 Installation app/ESD image, it depends on what you've got at hand. As stated by Jake, you obviously can't use a Combo Update image to create an OS X installer... If starting from 10.9(.0) you should have no issue at all running the 10.9.5 Combo update thereafter, once you've fully finalised your original 10.9(.0) installation.

    Did you try this Mavericks guide? I honestly can't see how you could possibly go wrong with myHack + Mavericks, assuming you've got the right OS X installation app of course, not some torrent download...

    El Capitan DP was only released last night. Give people a little more time before asking for support. No-one's probably even had time to work out a validated installation procedure...

    Off-topic but to quickly answer your question, E6420/E6430/E6440 all have Sandy/Ivy/Haswell CPUs with fully support integrated GPUs (HD3000, HD4000, HD4600). Have a look at the guides posted here. You may also want to look at other fully supported E6xxx models such as the E6220/E6230 or E6320/E6330 (even the bigger E6520/E6530 if you want).

    Just verified behaviour on my E6220: with or without DSDT + GE=Yes/No, I systematically get full QE/CI with the built-in HD3000 (dev id 0x0126) and vanilla graphics kexts. In my particular case of a 1366x768 LCD, I don't need to set DualLink to 1 of course.
  9. Hervé
    Look at the guides for E6220/E6320/E6420 of similar specs. HD3000 is normally supported OOB, you only need a patched FrameBuffer kext to support VGA output and/or HDMI output, otherwise the vanilla kext will do. With a HiRes display such as yours, you need to enable DualLink through Chamleon boot plist (if applicable of course) or through DSDT.
  10. Hervé
    Can't say I saw any...
  11. Hervé
    If your AppleIntelPIIXATA2 does not load from the Clover kext folder, try to place it in /S/L/E and repair its permissions.
  12. Hervé
    Contact EmlyDinesh then.

    Do a low-level formatting using some of the freely available Windows tools. That will most certainly wipe out all existing partitions that may not be deleted by a "standard" repartitioning, especially the hidden ones.
  14. Hervé
    Difficult to say if one is better than the other. One is Broadcom-based, the other Atheros-based. Both are A/B/G/N cards and work OOB. I tend to prefer Atheros due to ease of use with eventual DSDT patch.
  15. Hervé
    So... EBIOS errors are gone?
  16. Hervé
    You could always download a fresh copy of the 10.9.5 Combo Update and try apply it again.
  17. Hervé
    You can try others like VoodooBattery of AppleSmartBatteryManager. All available on the web.
  18. Hervé
    Well, first of all you did not specify which kext you're using... Then I suggest you look into the bootpacks I recently published and grab the battery manager kext from there.
  19. Hervé
    It may not influence things but: you've set nVidia to true at the same time as Intel you're not faking Intel desktop model id 0x0412
  20. Hervé
    Did you try to simply reset the BIOS to default settings and then just configure SATA mode to AHCI? I found this necessary a couple of times after getting unexplained KP such as yours...
  21. Hervé
    Are you sure you've got the bootloader installed properly on your keys? How do you partition/format them?
  22. Hervé
    Flat CMOS Battery would normally trigger a BIOS error at power-on as the other settings would be back to default too.
  23. Hervé
    I'd check that everything was properly fitted physically. That little flat ribbon cable is not the easiest of all to refit on the ZIF adapter side. I've also experienced situations where an external USB device (key of HDD) would behave the same and it was a problem of partition scheme/format type: the key or HDD would not be recognized when partitioned GPT with OS X extended format, only if partioned MBR with FAT/FAT32 formatting. I'd be surprised if you had such similar problem with a SSD but you never know... Or the SSD could simply be slow to get powered up/responsive at POST.
  24. Hervé
    Could be the adapter, could be the SSD, could be the BIOS... Difficult to say... If you're not running the latest BIOS (A09), update it.
  25. Hervé
    Re-install your bootloader and try again. Then, try and repartition and/or reformat your USB key. Please note that some keys do not like GUID/GPT partition scheme (I experienced this myself with a couple of cheapo 32Go keys). If you're using GUID scheme, try FAT/FAT32 and vice versa. If you still do not succeed, try a different key. An 8Go USB key from a respectable manufacturer really cost pennies these days.
