Obviously something to do with Bluetooth; I suggest you disable in BIOS and see where that gets you. PS: we don't support TMX stuff here, I guess you know those tools have their own site for support.
-
USB3.0 may work natively if you remove the HPET kext from S/L/E (and rebuild cache of course).

Ok, nVidia Quadro NVS 3100M, i.e. GT218 chip. Supposed to run up to 600MHz Core and 800MHz RAM. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-NVS-3100M.24738.0.html Use the SMBIOS of the MacBookPro6,1/6,2. Those are the Mac models that resemble your E6410 the most (Intel i5-520M/540M or i7-620M/640M and nVidia GeForce GT330M).
-
Could you provide more details... GPU? CPU? SMBIOS model used? OS X version? Kexts used? Maybe a zipped copy of your /Extra folder if you're using myHack. I assume here you have a fully supported GPU in that laptop, I can't remember what was offered in the E6410 other than the (partially supported only in OS X) Intel HD 1st gen.

I don't know, do you own little "research" work. You also mention Netgear N300, so... I posted pictures in the thread, read it up, check things out, you've got more or less everything on a plate, except the spoon which I don't provide. For Realtek's driver, well, think simple...
-
Yes. Try that.

No, you're mistaken. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/

Finally got round to buy one of those little USB audio devices (I just wanted basic audio in ML, Mav and Yosemite on my old Precision 670 with unsupported built-in audio). They really do cost pennies, especially on the well-known auction site (in my case, 1.34€ + free shipping!). Reported as a C-Media Electronics device in my SysProfiler. It worked totally OOB, nothing to do but select the new available output/input in the audio PrefPane. Works OOB under Snow Leopard and later.

The pack I posted contains the already tuned FakeSMC + adjusted boot plist + SMBIOS.

Older Chameleon version always seek kernel file as mach_kernel at partition root level. However, one can always manually specify a different kernel file by entering the command at bootloader prompt. For instance and in the case of Yosemite: /System/Library/Kernels/kernel The syntax casing is of outmost importance and the command must reflect the directory tree and filename to the letter. Newer Chameleon versions (like v2.3 r2377/r2401/...) were updated to take into account the new location of the Yosemite kernel file (in /System/Library/Kernels as opposed to root). If you can only boot into Yosemite -or any other OS X version for that matter- through the USB installer, it usually means the bootloader was not installed on the HDD. Best way to do it is to run the installation package once the system has booted up. In the case of Chameleon, simply run one of the recent packages available at the Downloads->Bootloaders section of InsanelyMac web site. They have a whole raft of versions on their repo.

Depends if the GPU can be throttled. Some appear to run at fixed speeds. GPU throttling largely depends from the ability of OS X to run GPU power management (AGPM). Choosing the right SMBIOS profile can be key on that matter. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/ http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298027-guide-aio-guides-for-hackintosh/?do=findComment&comment=2019604 I also know of Hackintosh laptops that loose GPU throttling after waking from sleep...

Did you use the patched SNB frame buffer?

Wireless support depends entirely on the card used. Post the details and you'll get an answer.

I don't think Mavericks will load without the DSDT but I'll check that out shortly. 'pretty sure I've tried that before and it would not even work in safe mode. Boot your Mavericks USB installer, then run Terminal and replace the DSDT on the HDD Extra folder by that of your USB key. It's really not that hard...
-
You could try your original DSDT as I had edited mine but removed all the info specific to my wireless card before posting the pack.
-
What's your screen resolution?

I'll have to check (because I forgot) if ModCD boots Nawcom's legacy kernel by default of the vanilla mach one. I think it's the former rather than the latter. This being said, you may be in a situation similar to that of SandyBridge/IvyBridge CPUs, which are only supported in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, not earlier releases. This AMD FX Vishera CPU model (FX-6350?) may just be unsupported by Nawcom's legacy kernel 10.4.0 (I'm prettty sure it's the default kernel of the final ModCD package). Vishera CPUs are direct competitors of SandyBridge/IvyBridge/Haswell/... after all. You could instead attempt SL 10.6.8 (with Nawcom's 10.8.0 v2 kernel), Lion, ML or Mavericks, using myHack + the appropriate AMD kernels. They're available off InsanelyMac's site and I've also added them to my Dell Precision 670 research/guide thread. Yosemite could be envisaged too, but no myHack support for that OS X version yet. But you may not have access to an existing Mac or Hack, hence your initial pursuit of SL using bootable ModCD CD/DVD method.

As far as I remember, the wireless model specified in the DSDT of the OSXL D430 bootpack is purely cosmetic. It's pure text, no hardware-specific info like device id or stuff like that. To be verified in your DSDT of course. I've detailed how to edit the DSDT in that respect in an article some time ago. BCM4311 is normally supported OOB, no need to modify any kext as detailed here. Is the card reported in the list when you issue Terminal lspci -nn? If so, please post the details. Also post your zipped DSDT as an attachment, I'll have a look. Of course, make sure the wireless switch on the right side of the chassis is in the ON position and Wireless enabled in BIOS.

You can update to 10.9.5 either through Apple Menu->Update or via Combo update; it's totally straight, no issues. If you want to experience with Yosemite, you may want to start afresh on a separate HDD partition so that you retain your Mavericks installation just in case... myHack not supporting Yosemite (yet..), there are some specific things to do with kexts to avoid problems. I posted a guide in R&D->Projects section. Look it up. Meantime, here's a full Mavericks pack for your D630 nVidia. Check your BIOS settings against the recommended ones published in the dedicated thread on the matter in this very forum section. D630n_10.9_pack.zip
-
You can only "upgrade" to Yosemite through a fresh re-install. However, this can normally be done over your existing Mavericks installation and retain all your files and apps. This is a general process whatever the OS X release.
-
Ok, will post you the definitive /Extra folder later on today. Wireless will only work with a supported card. Intel cards are no go. Consult the non-exhaustive list of supported cards posted in R&D->Hardware section of the forum.
-
What's your D630 LCD resolution? WXGA+ (1440x900) or WXGA( 1280x800)?
-
You can't; that does not work on Hackintosh. You have to do a fresh intall of Yosemite. But you can do it over an existing Mavericks installation and that should retain all your files and apps. Well, at least, that worked when I once upgraded one of my D630 from ML to Mav.
-
You're not going to convert your Apple Lion stick to anything. It simply contains the Lion installation app (like a DVD would have) and a tool like myHack is going to use that stick to create its own bootable installer on another USB key. In that sense, your Apple Lion stick will just be read-only media, nothing more. You'll keep it intact. The EDP pages (available from EDP button at the very top of your screen/page) provide some documentation on the whole process.
-
Naturally, you need an existing Mac or Hack (with SL minimum) to be able to build say a myHack Lion USB installer out of your Apple Lion stick; that's natural. But that does not mean you need 10.6.8 for that.
