It may not work, but try the DSDT of the D630 X3100 HiRes.

Boot with -f bootflag to take your hardware modifications into account. Otherwise, you retain the same boot cache.

Sorry, it's offline, pending EDP work completion.

Answer Yes to questions about kexts removal, answer No to question about MBR patch installation (i.e. do not install/apply MBR patch).

Configure BIOS as per recommended settings in pinned thread.

See previous reply. You also normally need to disable either Intel graphics or nVidia graphics as only one can run: Optimus not supported on Hackintosh. Lastly, there are lots of threads related to the E6410 nVidia on the forum, read them thoroughly. Jake pointed you to Patel's very complete guide, it should get you sorted.

Intel wireless cards are not supported so yours needs to be disabled or replaced. Intel wireless cards were known to interfere with OS X startup on some Latitude D series, may be yours does the same here too.

Can you please post your /Extra folder? Also, check that your BIOS is configured as per recommended settings listed in the dedicated pinned thread in this very forum section.

Disable or remove your Intel wireless card. It will have to be replaced by a supported model.

Whatever the OS X version you go for, you can only run a Crestline laptop in 32bit kernel mode. There's no graphics support for the GMA X3100 graphics chip in 64bit mode. If you're running Lion 10.7.2 in 64bit default mode, that'll be the reason why you're not getting any graphics support. Make sure you use our bootpack and if EDP fails, we'll work something out to make it work. I think it's fairly safe for you to go back to ML 10.8.5 (if that's what you prefer) and we'll get those features to work. No need to downgrade BIOS, it'll not make any difference.

Those apps are probably querying the CPU directly through CPUID command, in which case it'll never work on the Precision 670. Irwindale and Paxville Xeon CPUs do not have that instructions set. That does not mean SSSE3 emulation is not there though... In your case, I think you have little choice except switching to different apps or using a more modern machine with a CPU that possess the necessary full instructions set.

That kind of reboot is usually a sign of unsupported vanilla kernel. I suspect you may not have a Core2Duo model… What does your BIOS Device Info page show?

Duff installer maybe. Did you check that your BIOS was configured as per recommended settings in the dedicated pinned thread of this very section? No Intel wireless that you would have kept enabled?

Ha! That's a good old well-known BIOS matter. Basically, it's doing the full/thorough POST checkup, not the quick one. That happens when BIOS thinks a parameter has changed. You can interrupt the checkup by pressing ESC then Enter. This thorough checkup will eventually go away after a full clean shutdown or startup. I recommend you make sure to use the patched AppleRTC kext, though it does not always prevent that long BIOS POST. My Latitude D laptops do that frequently, especially as I switch between different OS X versions.

Does your D430 have a Core2Duo CPU? If so, boot with flags -f -v. If not, you have a 32bit CPU and you're limited to Snow Leopard (Lion and ML need 64bit C2D CPUs minimum). You can only boot 32bit (i.e. with Chameleon option arch=i386) the MLPF installer and/or your "MLPF'ed" ML installation. Naturally, the initial vanilla ML installation is 64bit kernel mode only. As Spock would say, it's only logical...

Then boot with -v and check where it's holding for so long.

At shutdown or startup? Sounds like a cache generation issue...

Trunyce would have used the MLPF guide...

You're mistaken; like all D430, yours has Intel 945GMS chipset which includes GMA950 graphics controller. That's what is meant in the BIOS info: graphics of 945GMS chipset… There's no such thing as GMA945 graphics controller.

Guys, seriously, generate your own SSDT files using RampageDev's tuto (on his blog); it's based on Piker's generator tool. Anyone can do it.

SMC id 1.33f8 is that of MacBoookPro5,1. For MBP5,2, try 1.42f4. Set smc-compatible to smc-mcp. Remember to boot with option kext-dev-mode=1. Also, check Clover FSB option: it should be set to 266000 (KHz). FakeSMC.kext.zip

You've used a really old FakeSMC kext. You may be in a situation where you do not have any CPU power management at all and your T9600 is running at max (or near max) speed all the time, hence high T°. I suggest you use one of Kozlek's latest versions of FakeSMC as they are really really good. Adjust the SMC keys as per documented in the thread on performance tuning. Clover should automatically elect for a suitable MacBookPro profile, presumably MBP 5.1, 5.4 or 5.5, so I would opt for SMC keys that match that model.

You're going to have to be more specific... If the installer does not boot, it could be due to Chameleon not being properly installed, in which case, just re-install it to your USB installer.

raw or already patched?
