For the SSDT generator, no need to change permissions. Simply drag the file icon into an opened Terminal window to prepare to run the command; then, just add the parameters for your CPU. Which version of the Broadcom LAN kext did you install? v2.3.5 of approx 82/83KB? BCM5722D.kext.zip Instead of using kext wizard (I'm not 100% certain if works Ok for Yosemite), I'd simply manually copy the kexts to /S/L/E and run the following Terminal commands: sudo chmod -R 755 /S/L/E sudo chown -R 0:0 /S/L/E sudo touch /S/L/E sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

Nothing wrong there. It'll be due to a config.plist configuration issue... Post the file. Which SMBIOS profile does Clover select? Do you need those PS2 keyboard and mouse kexts by the way? You could try and go back to Chameleon.

You would not normally need VoodooTSCSync with a Penryn CPU (it's required for Merom CPU with 945GM chipset). It's most likely a problem of incorrect Chameleon boot plist settings and/or SMBIOS profile. Which Chameleon version did you use? Speeds reported by Clover are indeed correct (the FSB may not run exactly at 200MHz). Can you post your zipped /Extra folder?

@wai, remind us how much you pay for all this, support included? If you found you way round potholes, you must have learnt a few things on the way. Good, that's much better than being spoonfed in ignorance, isn't it?

Nope, it's not supported.... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/

Finally updated to 10.10.1, replacing the vanilla IOPCIFamily kext again by axmanA's kext and the (reinstated) vanilla kernel by Bronya's. Graphics glitches and related applications bugs still present of course, no change of kernel for the time being.

Ouh, that's a totally obsolete pack you got there! Don't use EDP (you can delete the EDP app from Applications folder) and replace your entire /Extra folder by the attached. Then run myFix (quick) and reboot Lion. Extra_D830n_Lion.zip

That LAN card will be supported with the associated Intel kexts. You'll find it in my Vostro200 bootpack or with a Google search. Your installation issues may come from that old low-spec Pentium CPU; I'm not sure it's actually supported by vanilla kernels, even though dual core. Why don't you replace it with a Core2Duo instead? You'll easily find a cheap FSB800/1066 LGA775 C2D E6xxx/E7xxxx on the net...

From memory, I used the default installer settings. But that was an older version; things may be a little different now... Follow what seems appropriate according to the Clover documentation.

Please move your thread to the Dell D4xx section of the forum. You'll need a retail version of Snow Leopard to install it (10.6.0/10.6.3/10.6.8). That ithingie tool is not supported here, you know where to get support for that... With SL, if all you have is a legit' retail SL DVD, you can install Snow Leopard with Nawcom's ModCD. As I've said several times, it'll allow you to, at least, make a temp installation of SL from which you'll be able to make an image of your retail SL DVD and, subsequently, a myHack USB installer (use myHack v3.1.2 for SL) using the process documented in "EDP" menu at top of page.

Please post your /Extra folder.

If you mount your SL DVD, myHack should normally be able to use it to create the USB installer. Failing that, you'd need to create an image of the DVD that you'd then mount and use with myHack. You need to have an existing hack or a Mac to do that of course. Naturally, the alternative is to use ModCD that fully supports the direct use of a retail DVD.

It seems you're confusing BIOS modes, installation parameters and vanilla installations. You should be able to use the config file I posted for the D630 in the sister thread. Whatever the optional parameters and BIOS modes, Clover always provides for a vanilla installation. Non-vanilla installations = distros.

What does the KP message say?

32bit or 64bit mode is just a kernel mode. It's selected through a single bootloader parameter arch=/.

Erm... no driver can make an LCD display a resolution higher than the pixels it actually possesses. Mind you, I once used on a D830 a tool in ML (the name of which eludes me now) that could run the display in a sort of interlaced mode at higher res than the LCD specs, but it was really crap. With an external display, provided the VGA or DVI output is supported on your E6410, you can do what you want within the specifications limits of the external screen or the VGA output.

Follow my D630 guide, it'll be exactly the same. No need to edit your SMBIOS to MacPro5.1, Clover normally detects it as MacBookPro5.1.

Try without the "/" then, i.e. just type "legacy_kernel" as Chameleon option.

Watch the casing, it's critical -> /System/Library/Kernels/kernel. If you're booting with Chameleon, you may also copy the kernel file to the root of your HDD as "mach_kernel" and try to boot with option: /mach_kernel.

Turbo boost speeds depend on CPU load + number of cores used. 2.6GHz is the maximum turbo boost when only 1 core is active, the maximum turbo speed is slightly lower when multiple cores/threads are active. So yes, what you're seeing is normal. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i5-4200U-Notebook-Processor.93563.0.html

It's been a while since my last ModCD installation so I can't remember if it replaces the vanilla kernel at the end of the installation or not but I believe it does not. Boot the ModCD, then choose your Snow Leopard HDD partition to try and boot your SL installation. That would normally boot SL with the legacy/AMD kernel. If you reach desktop (or 1st boot finalisation process), that will confirm that you need to copy the legacy/AMD kernel to your SL partition. I also suggest you use the verbose mode (-v Chameleon flag) so that you can tell us what error message might be displayed or where startup may hang.

Don't use a distro; use our recommended installation method: myHack + retail OS X + bootpack. For SL, you'll need to use myHack v3.1.2.

There's a Wifi/Bluetooth sub-section in the R&D forum

ModCD uses Nawcom's legacy/AMD kernel by default. You need to copy that over to your HDD's SL installation, knowing that Nawcom made a legacy/AMD version for each specific Snow Leopard update. At present, all you have on your SL partition may be the standard/vanilla kernel which does not support any AMD CPU. Backup your vanilla kernel (found at HDD's root as mach_kernel) as /vanilla_kernel before you copy the legacy/AMD kernel as /mach_kernel to your HDD. Then reboot with -f flag to ignore cache and once at the SL desktop, open up a Terminal window to rebuild cache with command sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions. Wait a few minutes for the cache to rebuild. You should then be able to boot safely with full kext/kernel cache from there on. Update directly to 10.6.8 using Apple's combo update and remember to copy Nawcom's 10.6.8 legacy/AMD kernel before you reboot. You'll find all Nawcom's kernels with your friend Google. There are copies on this forum + links to Nawcom's repository too. Use the Search tool.

Isn't the guide specific enough? You use myHack v3.3.1 + provided pack + Haswell-patched kernel, that's all. Once Mavericks is installed, remove AppleHPET kext and rebuild cache so that all USB ports work.
