If you're trying to generate your own SSDT for the CPU power management, it's not the right process. Use the SSDT generator script and ignore those tables from BIOS.

I went to DP7, then the HDD failed miserably on me.

You would extract them all, but what do you intend to do with them?

Well, you kind of omitted the on-board discrete GPU in your description; you just stated to have an Intel HD4400, but that does not seem to be the sole case, does it? Instead you seem to have an E5540 with the additional nVidia GeForce N14M GE, i.e. Optimus.

Yes, I had installed Yosemite and sleep was indeed broken: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6728-vostro200-yosemite-1010/

And delete any sleep image file found in /var/vm with sudo rm -f Terminal command. Don't delete the swap files!

You could try and patch your audio device in DSDT to get it back after wake, as per E6440 patch: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7387-dell-latitude-e6440-with-i5-4300m-hd4600-and-1600x900-lcd-mavericks/&do=findComment&comment=44670

Of course it does, you missed the pack, that's all. It's a the bottom of post #9...

I would not use the E6440 DSDT on your E5440 unless it really is the same hardware. Remember that the E6440 I use also has a discrete AMD Radeon GPU for instance. I was able to boot, install and run Mavericks without any DSDT to start with, I just patched it as I was progressing with post-installation tuning. All you'll need with a Chameleon boot loader + myHack installer + generic bootpack will be to specify the correct Azul framebuffer as boot flags & options -f -v IntelAzulFB=xx (where xx is in the range 0 to 15). Start with 10 to 15. You may have noticed that my guide recommends using the USB port on the left... That one always works on the E6440, the rear+right ones not unless I bypass the cache.

It certainly should be able to run OS X all the way to Yosemite. If LAN or Wireless aren't supported (I have not checked that at all), it's pretty easy to add a wireless card or USB dongle that will be. Same principle with the HD4650. Give it a try...

Sorry, I have little experience with ATI boards (outside the X1300) and have only been using nVidia cards since. I find them easier to deal with (OOB or with patches) but that's probably a matter of experience and taste... There's a pretty good wiki at InsanelyMac for all sorts of supported hardware, including graphics cards. Just scrounge the web.

There's a new modded BIOS at bios-mods.com for the Vostro200. It widens CPU support to quad-core Yorkfield-CL and Harpertown Xeon CPUs. So, not all quad-core CPUs appear supported but interesting models like the E5450 for instance. X series are supported too but at 120W compared to 80W for E series at same or slightly higher speed (@FSB 1333MHz, E5450/X5450 run at 3.0GHz, X5470 runs @3.33GHz), E models should indeed be favoured for what are otherwise strictly identical CPUs. I've got an E5450 on order too. Running Ok on a dual-core Xeon [email protected] meantime. NB. Quad-core cpus are only supported on the G33M03, the G33M02 only supports dual-core CPUs.

My Vostro200 has a DSDT with working sleep in SL, L, ML and Mav. Try it, it should work on the Inspiron 530, they're more our less identical machines. From memory, sleep was not working in my Yosmite DP installations, but then my HDD failed and I haven't replaced it yet. So no mainstream Yosemite tests on this one yet.

Ok, that's what I thought. The MBA6,x profile seems to give only LFM and HFM + all turbo boost frequencies, whereas the MBP11,1 gives an extra intermediary step. So it's an [email protected] your have then, not an i5-4300u. Over time, you should see boost frequencies in the range 22 to 29/33 (depending on number of active cores).

Just install Chameleon. A recent release like r2395 or r2401 will do absolutely perfectly.

Hi Jake, what CPU multipliers do you get with MBA6,2 SMBIOS on this machine? Did you try the MBP11,1 to compare?

If you have an Intel wireless card (like the 3945 model often found in these laptops), disable it in BIOS or remove it. It'll need to be replaced by a supported card.

Ok, well I can only advise you to seek RampageDev's assistance then. My knowledge of AMD Radeon HD cards is very limited. You can try RampageDev's other DSDT injection if you want. As I said, it's all listed on his blog.

Why do you use PciRootUID=1 and npci=0x2000? PCI root is correctly set to Zero in the original DSDT. Try with GE set to No.

Can we stick to AMD Radeon 7970 here please? Did you try the DSDT?

Try the attached patched DSDT in /Extra; boot with option DSDT=/Extra/DSDT_Patched.aml and let us know the result. DSDT_Patched.aml.zip

Oh, is it the actual source file? Man! I did not even think of that! It sure works now... IonGeneral, did you boot with option GraphicsEnabler=Yes?

Sorry, that DSDT file can't be opened. It looks far too big too (500Ko). Can you try to extract it with DSDTEditor, then save it as a .dsl (source) file?

Check that your BIOS is configured as per recommended settings and you should be Ok with my Lion pack. Your D430 has a Core2Duo CPU, right?

If you need to inject the card characteristics to the OS via DSDT, please post a saved output from IORegistryExplorer (specify which version of the tool you've used, there are several). We'll then be able to extract the necessary data and prepare a DSDT patch. Of course, post your DSDT too. If you're not using any DSDT file, even better, extract your raw table from BIOS through tools like Chameleon Wizard or DSDTEditor. I also recommend you read this. It explains it all in great details.
