CD Drive normally works OOB. Battery management does indeed require a specific kext like VoodooBattery or AppleSmartBatteryManager. Audio support is provided by the patched STAC92xx kext pack and it's provided at the end of that afore mentioned thread.

You should be able to install it by running myHack from the booted USB installer.

Grab the pack I posted in that very thread and the subsequent kexts I also posted.

There are no DSDT tweaks or patches for SysProfiler/About this Mac reported CPU speed. 2 things to do: make sure your SMBios plist does not have any specific info for that (parameter is Max CPU Speed) and OS X will auto detect the CPU specs check your BIOS settings against those recommended in the pinned dedicated thread and adjust there necessary (especially the IDA parameter in the case of your Merom CPU)

and probably without the lone "-" ...

Did you get a file called ssdt.dsl or ssdt.aml? Because the .dsl is the course code and what you need is the .aml compiled file.

Annoying... When running OS X on an Intel Series 330 SATA-III (6Gb/s) SSD, boot time is dramatically impacted if the IOAHCIBlockStorage kext is binary patched to enable TRIM support (binmod of IOAHCIBlockStorage to replace hex string 00 41 50 50 4C 45 20 53 53 44 00 (="APPLE SSD") by a string of 00s). I've made some comparisons with my Dell Latitude E6440: 1) Vanilla kext - No TRIM support: . boot time Mavericks 10.9.5 (13F1077): ~7s . boot time Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D136): ~8s 2) bin-patched kext - TRIM support: . boot time Mavericks 10.9.5 (13F1077): ~46s . boot time Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D136): ~50s I had previously read similar reports but I'm still a bit baffled as I do not experience such slowdowns on my D630 (ICH8M controller, SATA-II 3Gb/s) fitted with a SATA-III (6Gb/s) 128Go SAMSUNG PM830 + TRIM enabled. Will need to try a swap out to try and verify if it could be controller related or SSD related.

Safe to proceed with 10.10.3 Supplemental Update too.

Don't use that distro (which we don't support here). Now that you have a semi-working Hackintosh, get a retail copy of SL and build your vanilla SL USB installer with myHack v3.1.2 (that you'll find in the myHack section) and the D430 boot pack. Installation guidance can be found in EDP menu at top of your page. After initial installation, follow the "Performance tuning" guide that you'll find with a forum search.

Me neither; time to ask Dinesh to re-instate the old D420 bootpack...

For Yosemite, you simply follow the manual way to build your USB installer and you can re-use your existing DSDT + kexts. You'll find plethora of guides all over the place with a google/forum search.

If Intel wireless, you must either disable it in BIOS or physically remove the card. It's not supported and is known to cause issue. You will have to replace it. You could have started with this step: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2350-bios-settings-d420-core-duo/ DW1390/DW1490 are good 802.11g (54Mbps) choices; they work OOB and cost pennies these days. Atheros AR5B91 is an excellent alternative in the 802.11n (150-300/400Mbps) range. For a wider choice, look at our non-exhaustive supported/unsupported wireless card list in the R&D->Hardware->Wireless forum subsection.

Ok, the DSDT in my earlier bootpack made specific reference to a DW1490 as an Airport device type (it comes from my own D430). I've modified that. You can grab the modified DSDT in the attached pack now and replace the file you currently have. D420_SL_pack.zip What kind of wireless card do you actually have?

If it's a "download", I don't know; never had a Recovery version...

You're sure it's a retail version you have, not a recovery version? Because only the retail version has all the necessary installation files required for a Hackintosh. Try the attached D420 pack. Run myHack->Install Extra and replace your current /Extra folder with this D420 pack. D420_SL_pack.zip

I would not use the D620 pack, no. I'll have a look and see if I still have an old copy of the D420's.

Make sure you use a retail version of SL (10.6, 10.6.3 or 10.6.8) and install the SL D420 bootpack on your USB installer. You appear to be installing the very initial release of Snow Leopard, i.e. 10.6(.0).

What version of FakeSMC are you using? Did you tune it? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/

It means you have to install Chameleon boot loader to your USB stick. You can safely use a recent version like r2377, r2378, r2401, all available from the download section of InsanelyMac web site.

To make a myHack Snow Leopard USB installer, use v3.1.2. We published this old version in the myHack subforum. For Lion, ML and Mavericks, you can safely use v3.3.1. Yosemite is not yet supported.

Please use the search facility of the forum before posting. This very matter has been covered many many times: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6452-dell-d420-doesnt-install-os-x-lion/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6164-myhack-331-107-lion-on-dell-d420-usb-install-problem/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1373-lion-on-d420-core-2-duo/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1563-d420-usb-starts-up-but-it-goes-black/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1373-lion-on-d420-core-2-duo/ In a nutshell, D420 has 32bit-only CoreSolo/CoreDuo CPU and is limited to SL. Lion requires 64bit Core2Duo CPU (even though it has to run in 32bit kernel mode on GMA950 systems). Of all D4xx, only the D430 can run Lion, hence no bootpack for D420 other than SL's.

Display remains "unknown". Was able to access the laptop through VNC after setting up screen sharing. According to the documentation I've found -and this is aligned with what Chameleon indicates-, GPU personality is "Eulemur". However, AMD5000Controller kext, which does include device id 0x68E1, lists ATI personalities "Hoolock", "Langur", "Orangutan" and "Zonalis", not "Eulemur", so one of those 4 is probably to be targeted. I tried to patch the DSDT, to no effect. Could be an Optimus-like issue of course, but integrated Intel HD really seems disabled. I would probably have had to obtain the LCD screen EDID info to sort out the graphics but ran out of time and had to return the laptop to its owner. Warning: this big laptop has a tendency to heat up and this is even stronger under OS X! It's mostly due to this specific low-end i3-330M that has no turbo boost and often runs at full speed. System runs much better and cooler with an i5-520M for instance. HP-G72_IOReg_GE.zip HP_G72_raw_DSDT.aml.zip Patched_DSDT.aml.zip HP_G72_SysProfiler.zip

Arrandale CPUs operate the same way as Core2Duo, so no need of a generated SSDT. Just select P & C States generation in your boot plist using Chameleon Wizard, use a recent FakeSMC kext from Kozlek and opt for iMac11,1 or iMac11,3 SMBIOS profile.

Another way that saves the hassle of patching the Atheros40 kext at each installation or OS X update/upgrade is to patch the computer's DSDT and declare the card as compatible with one of the PCI devices listed natively in the kext: 168c,30 or 168c,2a for instance. First you need to identify your wireless device though IORegistryExplorer, then apply the following _DSM Method patch to your identified DSDT device. Example with my D630 for which the DSDT device is ARPT (may be different for other systems): Device (ARPT) // Identified wireless device through IORegistryExplorer { ... ... ... Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // Device Specific Method for the wireless card { Store (Package (0x0A) { "model", Buffer (0x1E) { "Atheros AR5B95 b/g/n Wireless" }, "device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "built-in", Buffer (One) { 0x00 }, "name", Buffer (0x10) { "AirPort Extreme" }, "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x09) { "Internal" }, "compatible", // Declares compatibility with a device Buffer (0x0B) { "pci168c,30" // PCI id of device supported OOB } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } ... ... ... } This assumes the DSDT already contains a DTGP method. If not, add it, copies of the code are available everywhere.
