    Here you'll find a full SL 10.6.8 pack for the LoRes (1280x800) D620 GMA950. Should also work for 10.6.0/10.6.3 installation base prior to update to 10.6.8. This need no further EDP tuning, it provides a fully working system, wifi support excluded depending on installed card. Refer to the Performance tuning thread for details and copy of HWMonitor app if you want to monitor CPU speed and T°.

    https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7853-yosemite-kernels/ Having tested them, you can use Chameleon r2395, r2401 or r2468 safely with Yosemite.

    M4600 is based on SandyBridge like the E6420 so both are of exact same generation... E6430 is based on IvyBridge so the following generation. True, the M4600 will have a better graphics card (and possibly higher screen res depending on the model) but I would say that's where the better specs stop.

    RampageDev's guide seems up-to-date enough to me. What do you think is missing? Did you try booting with only 1 card?
  5. Hervé
    Did you make a myHack-based installation? 10.9.5 (build 13F1077) uses AppleACPIPlatform v2.0 and IOPCIFamily v2.9.
  6. Hervé
    You don't need to re-install the Extra or run EDP to update to 10.6.8. Run the Combo update and before reboot, re-run myFix (quick) to rebuild cache. That should suffice.

    CPU seems to be incorrectly detected too...

    With Mavericks, you should be using the vanilla AppleACPIPlatform kext, not the rolled back versions used for Lion or ML (v1.3.5 or v1.3.6 of SL origin). I've never experienced any issue with the Mavericks version on any systems I've hackintoshed. Did you check your BIOS settings for HDD mode? Ideally, it should be set to AHCI. I assume the SSD is connected to one of the SATA HDD connectors, not a SAS or SATA optical one. You could also try a slightly older version of Chameleon. For instance, I recently updated Chameleon to r2468 on my E6440 and whilst it would boot Yosemite Ok, it would not boot Mavericks. Everything was Ok again once I reverted to r2401.

    EDP is being updated, though should be available for download as far as I understood. Failing that, I can easily post a complete D620 GMA950 LoRes bootpack that will not require subsequent EDP tuning...
  10. Hervé
    Indeed, you'll need a 64bit C2D CPU to be able to run Lion on your D620.

    Intel cards are unsupported, Apple does not use them and there are no drivers. You'll have to replace yours by a supported model (Broadcom, Atheros or other, but no Intel) or use a USB dongle. See the non-exhaustive list of supported models in R&D->Hardware->Wifi section.
  12. Hervé
    Or VoodooHDA for built-in speakers only...

    If you're talking about Preview, there's a binary patch to fix the Haswell-related problem. See my E6440 guide. Jake linked to it on p40.

    What's the Hackintosh Zone screen with an axe going through the Apple? Are you using a distro?
  15. Hervé
    They're not dead, the whole chart is being updated following new EDP revamp. Things will get back to normal within a few weeks.

    The D830 Yosemite thread lists the kexts used to get 10.10 running on the D830. It's no different to the D630. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7055-d830-nvidia-yosemite/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6731-d630-nvidia-yosemite/ I'll load up my D630 Yos /Extra folder; I'm using Chameleon, Clover too complicated for my liking... I'll have to edit my DSDT though because I tuned it to match the specific HW fitted to my D630...
  17. Hervé
    Or the fact that Enable DualLink / Enable Backlight options are not selected...

    Intel GMA 4500MHD is not supported by any OS X versions, so laptops based on that Intel GPU will never get graphics acceleration. Your desktop should be Ok on the other hand. Please open a separate thread in the desktop section for that system if required.
  19. Hervé
    Haswell-patched kernel is usually required on Haswell-Based laptops...
  20. Hervé
    Without graphics acceleration, a Hackintosh is not really usable: overall performance is severely degraded, you'll experience lots of graphics artefact, many web sites won't be useable and the same will go for several graphics apps such as DVDPlayer or VLC. Don't bother with Yosemite on the E6400 with Intel GPU.
  21. Hervé
    Same pack as Mavericks... Same as ML without the ACPIPlatform rollback to SL version (v1.3.5/1.3.6). You can probably use the D630 pack too. Chameleon config is same as for all previous OS X versions, with the added option kext-dev-mode=1.
  22. Hervé
    How about when you boot without cache? Do the ports work then?
  23. Hervé
    Assuming you've partitioned your disk under GPT/GUID scheme (not MBR), format your target Windows partition as exFAT from Disk Utility. Then boot your Windows installation DVD and install Win on that partition, reformatting it NTFS. If, at reboot, you seem to have lost your Lion partition, simply boot it via your USB installer and re-install Chameleon bootloader on it. Chameleon should then see both the Lion and Windows partition and offer them for potential selection at boot time.
  24. Hervé
    You can only achieve max resolution if you have full graphics support/acceleration, otherwise OS X will limit the screen res. 1333x720 is not what I call a normal/regular screen resolution, so one can presume you do not actually have full QE/CI. Re: SSDT, you would not normally patch the extracted files. That's not normally required. You would only use a patched DSDT and generate a SSDT via the generator script tool to manage CPU SpeedStep. As such, you would not re-use or patch the extracted DSDT files.

    'could be, that's the problem with generic distros: you don't know what's been modified... But Jake's DSDT also injects the wrong device id, so that may be the problem too. I'd change that back to 0x0416 in Mavericks since it is fully supported. For Mavericks, with a vanilla installation, you could experience booting your installation with various values for boot option IntelAzulFB until you reach the framebuffer that gives you full graphics acceleration with the HD4600 (I'm pretty sure your discrete AMD Radeon HD 8790M GPU is unsupported, just like the 8690M I have in my E6440). You would then be able to patch your DSDT accordingly. I would assume that the same framebuffer I used for the HD4600 of my i5-4300M (FB=12, i.e. ig-platform-id 0x0600260a) would apply to the HD4600 of your i7 but I can't be 100% certain. You'll easily find out by trial and error... Try to boot Mavericks with just the following flags and options (respect syntax and casing): DSDT=none IntelAzulFB=12 -v The Azul FB range you can use is 0 to 15. Look at RampageDev's blog for details.
