    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.

    You can always try to patch the vanilla Atheros kext. One easy and safe way to do this is to make a copy of the vanilla AirportAtheros40.kext on the desktop (it should be a PlugIn of /S/L/E/IONetworking or /S/L/E/IO80211Family kext - can't remember off-hand) and patch it with your card's PCI ids (168c,001c). Then move the patched kext to /E/E and re-run myFix (quick).
  6. Hervé
    Yes, it's all tweaked & tuned-up, nothing further to do, except any potential wireless card setup if non-OOB model in place. You can easily check up the tweak through: 1) System Profiler->Hardware: look at the model identifier & SMC version reported 2) SMBIOS plist: look at the Mac profile used 3) Run HWMonitor and look at CPU throttling -> All should be as per the article you read. Re: bluetooth Assistant annoyance, go to the Bluetooth PrefPane and uncheck those 2 cases you will immediately notice. You'll easily understand...

    Use whatever pack (=/Extra) you're currently using for your Lion installation. As I said, the packs posted for other models contain model-specific DSDTs. Don't expect that to work on your own Inspiron 1520. You can follow the same process as explained in the guides, but use your current /Extra as a pack instead.
  8. Hervé
    Ok, so where are you at now?
  9. Hervé
    Well, if I said those bootpacks should work, I meant the kexts and Chameleon/SMBIOS plists but not necessarily the DSDT table (that's very model specific). So, if you've use the packs "as is", yes, I would not be surprised you encountered problems. 1st try with the Generic bootpack. If you manage to boot the installer and install OS X (SL or Lion), then post the output of Terminal command lspci -nn. This will show us the precise hardware pieces of your Inspiron 1520 (well the large majority of it) and we'll take it from there. NB: with Intel GMA X3100 graphics, you can only run 32bit kernel mode or you won't have any graphic acceleration (i.e.full QE/CI). But there's nothing wrong with running in 32bit kernel mode.

    There's no wishful thinking. There's a substantial piece of EDP re-engineering going on and several versions of the same kext to take into account sometimes. There are bugs and probably some database mistakes. Such is life... it's a hobby and, sometimes, people have less spare time...
  11. Hervé
    It seems that once you've booted into Lion, you need to re-run myFix (quick) to repair permissions and rebuild cache (so that you don't have to boot ignoring it). This being said, sometimes myHack.kext proves to be damaged, so you can then delete it from /System/Library/Extensions and re-run myHack app and proceed with Install myHack Utilities to reinstall the whole (myHack) thing.
  12. Hervé
    Clearly, the EDP issues have not been sorted yet. Meantime, you can safely use the pack offered here for your initial Lion 10.7.2 installation as well as for your expected 10.7.5 update. No EDP required. Use it when you create your USB installer and when you install Lion 10.7.2. After that, there should be no issues at all updating to 10.7.5 (combo update or update via Apple menu) without further action. NB: You should answer Yes to all questions about kext removal at the end of the installation, but do not install MBR patch (there's a little bug in myHack v3.3.1 and it's not needed on a GUID partitioned disk).
  13. Hervé
    Try the VoodooBatteryManager.
  14. Hervé
    You could also try with Virtualization Technology on. Surprisingly, I've had a Dell Latitude E6xxx that would not boot Mavericks unless Virtualization was enabled in BIOS...
  15. Hervé
    Possibly. There are indeed AMD8000Controller and AMD9000Controller kexts in 10.10 and that's new. Support might be ported to 10.9 in some later releases. http://netkas.org/?p=1331 http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=8481.0

    That list shows names of ATI FrameBuffer personalities. Look those up on the web. To work under OS X, your integrated graphic chip would have to belong to a family of ATI cards/GPUs currently supported by OS X. It's not the case here...
  17. Hervé
    In theory, yes. As I always say, try and you'll see. GT 820M, I can't say I've seen that much...
  18. Hervé
    You should still have same HD3000 graphics...
  19. Hervé
    You can ignore that message, yes.
  20. Hervé
    I would have expected the DSDT to be the same regardless of the CPU; however, if you're using one, the SSDT table would naturally differ from one CPU to another. The SSDT generator tool has been mentioned in many posts, you'll quickly find out about it and it's very to use to make your own tuned-up table.
  21. Hervé
    Pending EDP fixing, you can use the attached /Extra. It covers everything in terms of hardware support so no need for EDP on that front. You'll have full QE/CI, audio, battery management, CPU power management, etc. once you've re-run myFix (quick) and rebooted. D630i_HiRes_10.7.5.zip
  22. Hervé
    Full /Extra below. It contains all the kexts and settings you need to support your complete hardware (i.e. no need for EDP fine-tuning re: hardware). Please note the DSDT in that pack was edited to reflect DW1490. It's just cosmetic and can be easily edited with tools like DSDTEditor (or TextEditor if you decompile it). D430_10.7.5.zip
  23. Hervé
    Nope, clicking HDD means it's started the end of its life. It may last a while like that but prepare to change it. Anyway, that's off-topic.
  24. Hervé
    Assuming your BIOS is configured for PCIe graphics card to be primary, you may need a DSDT patch to inject the card details. You could may try to boot in safe mode (-x flag) to see if that gets you to Mavericks desktop. You may then manage to extract a raw DSDT from BIOS and a full IOReg output.
  25. Hervé
    Glad you eventually got there. Now what you write about partitions in point 2) is misleading. It's perfectly Ok to have several partitions and it's perfectly Ok to have an MBR partitioned HDD, not GUID, as long as you know it and apply the MBR patch if applicable. Your particular experience with an obviously incorrect/unknown HDD partition arrangement does not apply to everyone.
