Yosemite is only at DP1 and not fully finished; its hardly been out 2 weeks to dat… Wait until GM before you consider it. There are lots of things that are not supported yet. This being said, ML, Mavericks and Yosemite can only work on the nVidia-based D830 so make sure you have that model. You should not have encountered any problems updating to ML 10.8.5 from 10.8.4 on such model, whether you updated through Apple Menu or through Combo update. Something wrong must have been done, unless of course it's the GMA X3100 model that you have. If indeed it were the X3100-based D830, you can only install ML at best and every time you update, you have to re-run MLPF hack. Do not bother with Mavericks or beyond on the X3100 model, there is no graphics support. PS: it's very common to obtain a "installation failed" with ML, whether at initial install, after update or even with other application installation. It appears to be cache related but can be considered a false negative and everything is in fact Ok. It's been mentioned several times before.

I don't use myHack, no, it's a Clover-based temporary installation. In fact, I boot Clover off the USB installer key then select the Yosemite partition that I created on my SSD that has existing Chameleon ML + Mavericks partitions (I did not want to break those Chameleon installations). As such, my kexts reside on the USB key, in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 folder, not in the /S/L/E folder of the actual Yosemite partition. In that respect, the 10.10 installation on the SSD is 100% vanilla. The purpose of lspcidrv kext is to support the lspci Terminal command (to list PCI devices) and the Bluetooth kext is just a patch of the vanilla kext that includes PCI details of the Dell DW350/DW360 BT devices; it allows to turn Bluetooth On and Off through the Finder's bar BT icon.

VoodooBattery working Ok on my D630 Yosemite installation. I'm using this version (in case there are several): VoodooBattery.kext.zip The only kexts I use are: AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext AppleHDADisabler.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext BCM5722D.kext FakeSMC.kext Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext VoodooBattery.kext VoodooHDA.kext and more specifically, but not essentials: lspcidrv.kext CSRBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext

Keyboard remapping has been mentioned before and tools such as Ukelele (which includes pre-defined Logitech layouts) or DoubleCommand were recommended. You can do a search on the forum for that.

Until you suss out which graphics you have, you'll probably never go anywhere clear. Open up Terminal and type the lspci -nn command (needs lspcidrv kext installed).

No guide means noone here had one to test/install OS X. Time for you to take up the job...

Yup, there's no KP at all, only graphics not initializing...

Got the laptop back for a couple of days. Volume adjustment fixed by setting VoodooHDA Info plist "fix" parameters to true: <key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfMicVolumeFix</key> <true/> <key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfVolumeFix</key> <true/> <key>VoodooHDAEnableMuteFix</key> <true/> <key>VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix</key> <true/> fn-F6 / fn-F7 volume down/up buttons now operate properly, as is audio icon volume bar or audio pref pane. Got to test the DisplayPort output and it appeared to natively work Ok (extended/mirror modes): Initial post & boot pack updated accordingly.

1st of all, you would need to post the full specs of your system. 2ndly, the D830 pack may not suit your system, most specifically because a DSDT table is by nature very model specific. You can refer to the D Series X3100-based ML with full QE/CI guides to try and make your own ML installation with full graphics installation. But you would really need to adapt any kext pack you grabbed from an existing D model...

Patel posted a guide for nVidia-based E6410 a long time ago; did you use it? @Blubaze94, I suggest you try and follow that guide for your E6510; it's in the Supported Models with Guide section...

Intel wireless cards are not supported... Patel's E6410 nVidia guide details the process to follow for Mavericks. The only difference is that he had a lower res screen. However, that usually isn't an issue with nVidia GPUs. Did you use that guide at all?

Having done it several times on a D830 nVidia, I can also confirm that updates can be made directly from AppleMenu/AppStore or via Combo Updates; these work fine whether you run ML or Mav. ML and/or Mav updates are no problem on Hackintoshes. For upgrades, Bronxteck explained it all -> re-install over your existing ML installation to keep your setup and files or do a brand new installation erasing the existing ML partition. You may not have a fully tuned installation which could explain the issues you encountered.

Then, your graphics are not initialising properly. NVS 3100M is based on GT218 GPU, which I believe to be same family as GPUs fitted to GeForce G210 desktop cards (cards that are supported OOB). You probably need to actually choose in BIOS between the built-in Intel or on-board nVidia...

Tested Ok in Yosemite 10.10 DP1. Same method as described above, patching CellPhoneHelper.kext from 10.10.

AGP graphics card? I don't even know if that is supported... -> Give Nawcom's ModCD a try!

Well, that's just cosmetic; the computer might actually still run at lower speed...

You'll have to check if the M4600 can take those (something outwith the scope of this forum you'll understand). For wireless, please refer to the dedicated thread re: supported/unsupported cards in R&D->Wireless subsection.

In terms of specs, it's pretty close to HP's EliteBook 8560w mobile workstation for which Mavericks was a pretty easy installation. See here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6536-hp-elitebook-8560w-with-i7-2630qm-and-nvidia-quadro-1000m-mavericks/ Obviously, that Intel wireless card will have to go...

You have a FSB issue -> CPU reported at 2.54GHz and RAM at 761MHz...

I disabled all DSDT fixes enabled by default in the config.plist and put the D630 DSDT in EFI/CLOVER/APCI/patched. I also placed all bootpack or /E/E kexts in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 and, consequently, booted with option "kext-dev-mode=1". I think that's about it. Check what you have by default for graphics injection. I think I had ATI to false, Intel to true and nVidia to false when I 1st booted the Yosemite installer key.

On paper and in theory, everything can work. There's only one way to know for sure...

Try and reset BIOS, then set HDD mode to AHCI.

boot with -v flag and try and make out where system resets/what the last info displayed is...

It'd be most useful if you would list/explain those modifications you made to get microphone (and all functions) working rather than just say you got it working...

Did you try the flag -nossse3bit? http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/01/list-of-common-hackintosh-boot-flags_29.html -nossse3bit Enables SSSE3 emulation for AMD Hackintoshes. Ever since Mac OS X Lion, Mac OS X has required the SSSE3 instruction set to run properly. However, AMD didn't add SSSE3 to their processors until 2011, meaning that only AMD processors with a "FX" in their model number (e.g. FX-4100) natively support the instructions needed by Mac OS X. If your computer uses an older AMD processor (i.e. anything from the Athlon or Phenom lines), you may have to use this boot flag to enable "emulation" of the instructions instead. You can try and contact Bronya at InsanelyMac.
