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?

Post a copy of your /Extra folder + a picture of your KP and we'll see. -
Mavericks 10.9.4 M4400/E6400/E6500 Tuning + Improvements
Hervé replied to iindigo's topic in The Archive
The use of the older AppleAPCIPlatform kext from SL (v1.3.5 from 10.6.7 or v1.3.6 from 10.6.8) is indeed required for Lion and Mountain Lion to avoid KP; it is not usually required for Mavericks as systems normally run perfectly Ok with the vanilla version (v2.0 from memory). I have installed Mavericks on many different Dell systems (D430, D630n, D830n, E6420, E6430, Vostro 200, Precision 670) and never had to revert to the older AppleACPIPlatform kext. Initially (in 2011 - or was it 2012?), this was a fix for CoolBook which stopped working in early versions of Lion unless reverting to what was a the time SL 10.6.7 AppleACPIPlatform kext. If I remember right, Lion 10.7 to 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 could boot with vanilla AppleACPIPlatform kext, but subsequent versions could not. 10.7.4 brought a bit of mayhem when it got out and the older SL AppleACPIPlatform kext fixed the KPs at boot time. I vaguely remember that you could use older Lion versions of that kext but they caused extremely long boots and shutdowns. Maybe things would have worked better if reverting the IOPCIFamily kext too as the two kexts kind of work together. Anyway, that's history now. You'd have to search the forum to get the full story which eludes me a bit 2 to 3 years later... -
The first step is to provide info about your bluetooth hardware, i.e. specs... Then you can also use the Search facility on the forum, especially in the dedicated R&D->Hardware->Bluetooth section.
-
Hamid, this is probably not the best forum for this non-Hackintosh matter. I think the well-known ThinkPad forum is better suited to obtain answers, either on reflow or motherboard replacement.
-
The nVidia works OOB in SL, Lion, ML and Mavericks, possibly Yosemite too. It's a low-end card, but does the trick for regular desktop/multimedia purposes. You'll just need to specify GraphicsEnabler to Yes in your Chameleon boot plist. The ATI seems to require some adjustments to get fully supported: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293049-guide-mavericks-amd-radeon-hd5450/ Other than that, both cards seem to be quite comparable: http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=411&gid2=326&compare=radeon-hd-5450-1024mb-vs-geforce-210-1gb
-
None of those are supported. Whilst you could replace the wireless card by a supported model, you can't replace the graphics chip. Since OS X has no support for GMA 4500MHD, it's not worth wasting time pursuing on hackintoshing this laptop in my opinion.
-
Boot0:GPT error means Chameleon needs re-installing. It's not loading... You can do that from the myHack menu or run a previously downloaded Chameleon installation package.
-
Wifi and graphics will only work if they are supported. But you'll have to tell us what hardware these are to get a better answer... We have a non-exhaustive list of supported/unsupported wireless cards in the relevant R&D section of the forum. For graphics, I recommend you have a look at the wiki on InsanelyMac, it has a lot of information on supported equipment.
-
Did you partition your target HDD in GPT/GUID mode and format the target partition as Mac OS Extended (journaled) before starting the actual installation?
-
myHack does not in any way include or provide any hardware monitoring app or features. It's purely an installer tool. As such, thread has moved. Hardware monitoring can be provided by add-on app such as HWMonitor, itself used in conjunction with the right FakeSMC kext. There is information about this all over the forum. See here for instance. I recommend you look for Kozlek's latest package (or one of his recent ones) on his sourceforge repository. Depending on your hardware, you will get more or less information reported and, as one might expect, there is usually far less info reported on laptops than on desktops: PS: it's mommy's board, brothers just live among us!

Your problems are different than in the thread you referred to. You appear to have either a corrupt or an incorrect kernel/kext cache, so I'd start by simply rebuilding it, either through myFix (quick) or through command line (sudo touch /S/L/E and/or sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel). Also, try and replace the myfix exec inside myHack v3.3.1 by the attached corrected version. That will correct inability to display extensions in SysProfiler. myfix.zip

According to this HP doc or this doc, you should be able to select AHCI or RAID SATA modes in BIOS. Maybe you need to consider a BIOS upgrade (or downgrade...).

Ok, a few comments: What you initially did was correct, but your subsequent assumptions were erroneous. Patching a copy of a vanilla kext, placing the patched kext in /E/E and running myFix (quick) was the right thing to do. However, this DOES NOT modify any vanilla kext in /S/L/E. That's the whole essence and philosophy of myHack: it leaves vanilla (=Apple's original) files untouched. See here for detailed explanations. Patching a kext does not in anyway guarantee that your hardware will be supported by the kext. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. 168c,1c or 168c,001c is just the same; it makes no difference at all. You also have to ensure that you've patched the right potential kext. I mentioned the AirportAtheros40 kext, but it may be a good idea to check on your old MacBook which actual kext is loaded for the card. Who knows, it may be a different kext... Do not confuse binary patching (aka a binmod) a binary/executable file and patching a kext's plist, which is indeed done via any text editor. The reporting of a DW1390 in System Profiler derives directly from the contents of the DSDT file (normally in /Extra). This is usually just a cosmetic matter (unless full wireless card description has been entered in the DSDT, but it should not be the case here). There's a detailed article on the Web site that explains how to modify this (a simple character string). It's in the Articles section of the web site (not the forum), look at the very top of your browser page. Now, whilst your Atheros card has PCI ids 168c:1c, I see that your SysProfiler reports the DW1490 with ids 168c:4311 (which is incorrect) so the DSDT may require patching to adjust the data currently specified for the wireless card (under Device (ARPT) section). Zip your DSDT file, post it in a reply and I'll look into it. Edit: AR5BX86 appears supported up to Lion but not after!

And sometimes, you also need to enter a valid credit card number to your AppStore account...

You are correct, no Hackintosh can be "upgraded" to Mavericks (or any other OS X version for that matter) that way. You have to actually re-install the OS as a brand new installation but this can be done "over" an existing OS X installation such as SL, Lion or ML. You then get to keep all your files and/or apps. I guess you meant "NVDAGF100HAL Loaded and Registered", not 188HAL. Not that it matters anyway... Strange that your system appears to load all the right nVidia kexts, yet it fails to initialize graphics. Try to boot with -f flag in addition to -v and make sure you've configured your BIOS as per recommended settings. It must be something really trivial because you're just about there. Maybe change the resolution specified in the boot plist (it's that of my own LCD) in case it does not fit your screen. I don't think there's anything wrong with your card either. It should not normally matter, but I use FakeSMC v6.0.1033 under ML and v6.0.1067 under Mav. You may want to try the latter. You can also uncheck the C2/C3/C4 States I had selected in the Chameleon boot plist. FakeSMC_v6.0.1011.zip FakeSMC_v6.0.1067.zip
-
If you've followed the guide you referred to and installed MLPF, then you should be running ML in 32bit mode and getting QE/CI with your X3100. If not, check your PM.

There's a thread about Yos 10.10 on D830 nVidia in R&D section. I suggest you read it.
