Target OS X release: Mavericks 10.9.5 Installation fully successful with myHack v3.3.1 and attached Latitude E6440 bootpack on a SATA-III 6Gb/s mSATA SSD, fitted into full-size mSATA/PCIe/USB internal slot, partitioned GUID, formatted Mac OS X (journaled). Initial build in 10.9.4, followed by 10.9.5 update. Reset BIOS to default and set SATA mode to AHCI to begin with Mavericks installation with myHack USB installer should be done via left-side USB port (right + rear ones won't work initially). Make sure you use a Haswell-patched kernel to boot the installer, i.e. boot the USB installer with Chameleon options: -f -v Do not forget to copy this patched kernel to the root of the Mavericks partition upon installation completion but before you proceed with 1st reboot. Use Terminal from Utilities menu to that effect. Try and be quick because there is only a handful of seconds before the auto-restart countdown expires. If you miss it, just restart the USB installer and go straight to Utilities->Terminal to proceed.

As far as I know, you cannot update a Hackintosh like you'd update a Mac. Instead, you have to proceed with a brand new installation, but you can re-install over an existing OS X installation and retain all existing apps and files.

Search on "zif msata" or "msata to CE".

No idea, never seen issues like this. Did you notice the errors reported for USB/Firewire device? There's something wrong there, maybe your USB key is corrupt or something... By the way, for permissions, the chmod/chown commands need to be run with sudo command.

Permissions must be screwed. Indeed, reinstall myHack and start again or try fixing permissions manually (chmod 755 & chown 0:0).

Maybe the BT radio was disabled from Windows. On DW350 and/or DW360, that was written to the device and you needed Windows to reactivate the radio... Once radio was reactivated, the BT device could then be used in Mac OS X.

Arf, it's my own stuff. Sometimes I forget things, even recent ones... There's no issue with this pack, you can take my word for it. Make sure you partition your destination HDD as GUID with Mac OS X (journaled) format. Regarding the error message, can you take a note of which kext it applies? Or does it apply to all kexts placed in /E/E? Re-installing myHack Utilities then reinstalling Extra would sound the right thing to do. Regarding SMBIOS, yes MB3,1 would appear a better choice, but that model does not support native SpeedStep; MB5,1 does. We've tested this in all angles many many moons ago, so rest assured there's no mistake... Do a search on "performance tuning" and you'll understand.

Can you please post that /Extra folder with DSDT, plists and Extensions subfolder?

Confirmed working with released Yosemite 10.10

Sounds like it's not properly tuned. I've posted lots of info on that matter several times before, even copies of full /Extra folder. Do a little search on M4300. Eg: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/

Before you do that, I suggest you read up about disk/partition formats and operating systems, especially OS X.

546MHz means you have IDA enabled in BIOS on a Merom CPU (which T7xxx CPUs are). You need to turn that off to regain the missing 10% in CPU speed (you should idle at 600MHz and reach up to 2.0GHz (both +/- a few Hz), which you're clearly not getting right now). It's clearly stated in the BIOS config + performance tuning threads. Once you update the Tjmax parameter in the CPUsensors PlugIn, you need to re-run myFix (quick) and reboot to take the change into effect. Re: FakeSMC version, just right click on the kext...

That would be normal, yes, but I mentioned and showed idle T°...

Woaw, keep that special D630n preciously, because such low T° at max speed is quite simply amazing! Yes, I meant CPUSensors of course, my mistake... This is mine, idling... It does not matter which FakeSMC I'm using (running 6.9.1315 at the moment) and I even have a copper shim on the GPU!

Snow Leopard will be fastest of course. It is a hell of an extremely well optimized OS X version. For Mavericks, make sure you've tuned-up speedstep as mentioned many times before.

First of all, you should all make sure that the Tjmax parameter of the FakeSMC CPUMonitor PlugIn kext has the correct value (eg: 100°C for T7xx0, 105°C for T8x00/T9x00). Tjmax values are available on Intel's web site. An incorrect Tjmax value in the kext's plist (set to 0 by default if I'm not mistaken) may report an incorrect CPU T° in HWMonitor or any other monitoring app (depending on the system). Then note that nVidia Quadro NVS 135M GPU runs extremely hot on this D630 platform. For the 2 years I've been using it, mine never ran below mid 70°C and would also reach mid-90°C under video/heavy graphics demand. Then it failed a couple of weeks ago (as they all do eventually - it's a well known issue). I baked the motherboard to recover it to normal. The GPU now runs just a little cooler than before (low-70°C to high 80°C) but it'll never be cooler than that. The T° reported by Axel do not seem correct to me at all, at least not on an nVidia model... Maybe on a GMA X3100, but even on that, 36°C is just kind of hard to believe... I think my CPU idles around high-40°C/Low-50°C. Re: CPU speed, I take it you're not running native SpeedStep, so please do read the various threads and articles on the matter. Yes, CPU+GPU will run hotter than necessary if you're always on highest CPU frequency, it's perfectly normal. Just search the forum and article's section of the web site. Thank you.

You're probably getting into this menu by pressing F2 very early on at system reset/power on and before the Dell logo display/ F2-F12 message.

Ok, well it's a long tilme since I had to use EDP on those machine since my installations date to over a year ago. In the present case, I would not use EDP in that case, just add your required kexts as necessary to /E/E and run myFix (quick).

The guide that's in the Supported Models with Guides sub-section... You must have noticed that there was no ML bootpack for the X3100-based D630 models and that's because that old GPU (and several other obsolete ones) is not supported after Lion. The guide I refer to makes a particular use of MLPF to install ML on the GMA-based systems whilst retaining full graphics support. Remember to search the forum before posting as answers may already exist for your particular issue or query.

You can use the attached pack, which is fully complete and does not require EDP. Install SL with myHack v3.1.2, not v3.3.1. Extra_D430_SL.zip

Use the published guide and make sure you follow it rigorously to the letter.

Then you need to (re)install Chameleon on it.

Sounds like there's a non-bootable USB device plugged in.

PCIRootUID=0 is useless, it's the default value... If you want to try other PCI root values, use PciRoot=. Ideally, you should verify your PC BIOS-configured value which can be obtained by looking at the UID parameter of section Device (PCI0) in your extracted raw DSDT. It may also be obtained through Terminal command ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI\ " | grep UID. To fix the "still waiting for root device" error, try Chameleon option npci=, though it may disappear with the right PCI root value if non-zero. Did you properly replace the vanilla kernel? Filename should be mach_kernel, casing being sensitive...

This has been asked and answered many times before... You can install Win7 on a GUID partitioned HDD, but you need to format the target partition FAT from OS X first. You will then re-format it NTFS during installation.
