    You may not be aware of it, but there is a search facility on the forum at very top and very bottom of the browser page: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/compatibility/ http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/pre-installation/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6731-d630-nvidia-yosemite/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/

    Meantime, you may try to boot with Chameleon flags and options -f -v PciRoot=4 GraphicsEnabler=Yes and see where that gets you.

    Ok Goran, here are a few quick comments. 1) as expected, the DSDT uses a default PCI root value of 4; that's a pretty common thing on Dell workstations/high-end PCs: Device (PCI0) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03")) Name (_UID, 0x04) Name (_ADR, Zero) ... The _UID can usually safely be changed from 0x04 to Zero (or 0x00); that'll allow to boot Chameleon with its default PCI root value and avoid the need to specify boot option PciRoot=4. This is very important to get things like graphics cards working properly. 2) your IOReg output shows an AMD Radeon HD 6950 (device id 0x6719, vendor id AMD 0x1002) under PCI2@5. This means that if you need to inject cards properties in your DSDT, you'll have to do it under/within Device (PCI2) at address 0x00050000. You can consult RampageDev's blog for details on that particular part but basically, you'd need to add a Device (GFX0) section with full _DSM method to describe the required info using data available in the IOReg. It seems that personality is Lotus (a name that suits me fine... but for cars!).

    if you got there with 10.8.3 AMD kernel, then fine. I would recommend you use Bronya's 10.8.5 kernel once you've updated to 10.8.5 (use the Combo Update). Can't really help you on the mouse/trackpad/keyboard issue, you'll need to identify your hardware (e.g.: Elan; ALPS) and use the appropriate kext set then .

    No need for PCIRootUID=0, Chameleon uses 0 as default value... Did you install the PS2 kexts from myHack's generic pack (AppleACPIPS2Nub + ApplePS2Controller)? These usually work OOB.
  6. Hervé
    Try Bronya's 10.8.5 RC5 kernel instead. You'll get it here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2061-dell-precision-470-670-workstation-snow-leopardlionmountain-lionmavericksyosemite/page-2&do=findComment&comment=35008

    The generic pack is Ok. Did you or did you not replace the vanilla (=Intel) kernel installed during installation on the HDD partition? What you did to the USB installer in that respect needs to be repeated on the ML HDD... You cannot use a vanilla Intel kernel on your AMD machine, so make sure you always replace the file called "mach_kernel" at USB or HDD root by the AMD version. Then boot with flags -f -v.

    I've just tried to verify DW1395 operation under Mav 10.9 and Yos 10.10. DW1397 is similar but 1/2 size mini-PCIe. I could not get the card to work, whether using the dedicated mode BroadcomFamily43xx kext or patching the vanilla IO80211Family kext. Assume DW1397 to be unsupported and needing replacement under Yosemite... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/
  9. Hervé
    Which kernel did you choose to go for? You did follow up the initial installation with vanilla (Intel) kernel replacement, right? Did you install the generic bootpack when building your myHack USB installer, then install it too at the end of the myHack installation?
  10. Hervé
    Use boot flags -f -v to see what happens.
  11. Hervé
    Yes: start by giving us some setup info/system specs...
  12. Hervé
    Once you've formatted (Mac OS X Extended (journaled)) your freshly created OS X partition, you install ML on it! If the HDD partitioning table is MBR, make sure to use the MBR patch too. NB: If you don't want to risk losing any data in the process, I'd make some image/backup of your existing Windows/data partitions 1st if I were you... One is never too cautious, especially if a beginner.
  13. Hervé
    You only extract a DSDT if you intend to patch it; otherwise it's useless, Chameleon can read it from BIOS directly. Post your raw extracted DSDT and we'll see what we can do with it. You also need to extract your IOReg using a tool such as IORegistryExplorer. Download it and save the output to a file. Post that file too and tell us which version of IORegistryExplorer you used. Ideally, you should try and boot without DSDT and a default bootpack that will have the outmost minimum kext set: FakeSMC + PS2 controller + NullCPUPowerManagement eventually. You could always download myHack v3.3.1 and extract the generic bootpack found inside the app.
  14. Hervé
    Check your BIOS for graphics card selection, then boot with Chameleon option GraphicsEnabler=Yes
  15. Hervé
    Why would you use the DSDT of a Precision 690? You should never do that sort of thing (use another computer's DSDT) unless the systems are very closely related and based on the same hardware (like Inspiron 530 and Vostro 200 or Latitude D630 and D830 for instance). Try a manual installation with Chameleon and then extract your DSDT from BIOS; we'll then see if to needs patching.

    https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2467-dell-latitude-d430-intel-gma950-ml-with-full-qeci/ --> EDIT - 20Aug 2014: ------------------------- Bootpack edited following report of missing Broadcom LAN kext. Pack is now fully loaded with all necessary kexts, modules and plists and no post-install EDP is really required for hardware fine tuning.
  17. Hervé
    Which card do you have? Are you sure it's enabled in BIOS and that the left-hand side switch is not on the Off position?
  18. Hervé
    Yes, I confirm.
  19. Hervé
    Identify your card and patch accordingly if necessary... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/

    Look for the SSDT generator script at Piker Alpha or RampageDev's blogs. For audio, did you try the VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler at all?
  21. Hervé
    You battery drain issue could be due to lack of proper CPU power management. 3 things to consider/check/deploy: . the use of a suitable/recent FakeSMC kext . generation of a CPU-specific SSDT file (for Turbo boost + intermediary CPU multipliers) . use of HWMonitor tool to monitor CPU speed stepping/power management
  22. Hervé
    Are you using a SSDT file generated for your specific i5-3320M CPU? If not, you're highly likely to encounter CPU power management issues for sure. You can generate your own SSDT using the well-known generator script. It's available from Piker's or RampageDev's blogs. You'll easily find it along with full instructions. Then, to avoid the need to boot without cache (-f flag), I suggest you manually rebuilt your kext cache. From Terminal, run the following commands: sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Of course, make sure to boot with the option kext-dev-mode=1.
  23. Hervé
    Good. You can ignore the "ML update/installation failed" messages, most of our Hackintoshes experience that with ML.

    When I output display to my Sony HD TV through HDMI, I have to use the underscan feature to adjust the picture so that it fits properly on screen.
  25. Hervé
    I would expect you to need a serial number that appears like a real Mac one. They do not start with "VM". Download Chameleon Wizard and go to the SMBIOS tab and you'll see the type of number AppStore will expect.
