The best is to use the Chameleon wizard. Download it off the web.

It seems you would be missing the AppleACPIPlatform kext. Can you check what you have in your Bootpack or /Extra folder? These are myHack installations with the correct D630 bootpacks and done according to the process detailed in EDP pages of the web site, right?

Maybe it's not the retail DVD but a recovery DVD from a Mac and those don't work, they're missing key installation files. Only the retail disks will do.

There's no risk in doing a disk verification/repair through Disk Utility. You can't boot anyway. By the way, you can boot off the myHack USB installer, then interrupt the Chameleon bootstrap and switch to your HDD SL partition to try and load it. That's one way to boot OS X when the HDD bootloader is missing or is damaged. It does not seem to be the case at all here, but it could be something worth trying in case the issue comes from say an older version of Chameleon...

You would normally expect stuff like Network drivers, DSMOS, etc after that. If you're getting stuck on a disk verification, maybe you ought to get it checked out. If you can, try and boot off a myHack USB installer, get to the main installation screen and go to Disk Utility to perform a HDD check and possible repair. It's not good that you can't even boot in safe mode. I also notice your D620 is reporting issues with VoodooPState. Any idea why? I attach a copy of a kernel log, having booted ML on my D620 GMA950. D620_kernel_log.rtf

If your D620 SL partition boots with Chameleon, manually enter -v flag to try and see where boot process stops/hangs. You could also try to boot in single user mode with -s flag and once in there, proceed with a myFix repair with myfix -qt / command from the # prompt. This assumes you have myHack installed on your troubled SL partition. If it's not the case, the same process could be attempted from a myHack USB installer loaded to the main installer screen and from which Terminal app can be launched. You could probably try a complete myHack-based re-install of SL over your existing SL partition and expect to retain all your previous files and applications as long as you simply overwrite the existing partition, not reformat it. I know that works with ML for instance.

Sticking to mainstream Chameleon version (v2.2 r2377 at time of writing): add the following option to your Chameleon boot plist: <key>UseMemDetect</key> <string>Yes</string> add the following option to your SMBIOS plist: <key>SMoemcputype</key> <string>1026</string> CPU and RAM will then be reported properly:

Can you start by telling us what you are trying to install (I assume Mavericks) and how far you got? Looking at your hardware: Intel i5-3337U: Ok Intel HD4000: Ok AMD Radeon HD 7500M/7600M: may work with DSDT/kext patch, otherwise try and disable and use HD4000 only Realtek ALC262: should be Ok Realtek RTL8139/810x FastEthernet: should be Ok with driver off Realtek's web site DW1703 wireless (AR9485-based) + bluetooth : NOk, you'll have to replace that wireless card by a compatible one. Bluetooth might work though. Microdia Webcam (USB internal): should be Ok if UVC USB 2.0: Ok USB 3.0: could be Ok with appropriate USB3 kext Touchscreen: ?

By "display", Darvinko meant the LCD screen resolution... What is it? 1366x768 or higher?

Kexts placed in /E/E always get re-labelled with v1111 by myHack once copied in Plugins subfolder of /S/L/E/mlyHack.kext. That's how kexts placed in /E/E can supersede vanilla kexts of the same name in /S/L/E. In the presence of 2 identical kexts, OS X will actually load the driver that holds the highest version number. The original version of "your" kexts is still visible directly from the kext in /E/E.

These little D430s are always running hot (ventilation is next to ridiculous due to notebook size and available space) but battery life should have extended after switching from standard Zif PATA HDD to mSATA (no HDD mechanical parts to drive any more and mSATA drive's electrical consumption is extremely low). Note that I've just updated the thread about native SpeedStep on the D430 so you may want to have a look at it. Anyway, good that your got it all working in the end.

Sorry, your LAN interface is not listed there, only your wireless... Depending on your actual HW, you may want to try these other kexts, knowing that they may require patching to match your LAN card's PCI ids: AppleIntelE1000 or Intel82566MM.

Usual way for system specs: Terminal command lspci -nn... But never mind, are you using the kext referenced here? Check the versions.

Read our article about "Performance Tuning" in the web site's Articles pages. You can also head over to R&D->Other research forum subsection for threads on that same matter. No ready-made files for you though, you'll have to experiment by yourself until you hopefully find the right settings/arrangements. NB: It would help to know your system's exact model and specs...

Which kext is that? What's the LAN card on the E6410?

MLPF is a crude Hack and, as such, suffers from bugs (if we want to call MLPF anomalies like that). That is stated in the guides. The "bugs" you list affect all MLPF installations, D620 or other D Series included. You would be able to connect to another Mac or Hack (and vice versa) but not to SMB servers if memory serves me right. The (now very extended) thread on MacRumors mentions it all. Pairing with BT devices can be or appear problematic and hang forever in the very last part of the process (info exchange with the device). For instance, that's what happens when I attempt to pair my BT Headset with my D430 or D620 under MLPF ML (whilst there's no problem under Lion or SL). Still, I can get the headset to pair and act as audio device on both. So it does work in this particular case.

Is your Broadcom wireless card operational? Can you provide model name and PCI ids? Thanks.

Hi, you should have searched the forum. An up to date bootpack exists for the M4300 with ML/Mavericks and has so for several months now... It's just that the Compatibility Chart needs updating but that'll soon be done. Bootpack is here and will provide you with everything you need; nothing further required, unless you have specific add-on hardware that is not taken care of (eg: specific wireless card). PS: There was no Intel GPU-based M4300, it's only fitted with the nVidia Quadro FX360M. Models only differ by screen resolutions (WXGA 1280x800, WSXGA+ 1680x1050, WUXGA 1920x1200).

You're going to have to create your own boot pack by following the same concepts I did but using stuff specific to the D820n and that should be in the D820n Lion pack. It's all in the thread you linked to. You can always download both referenced packs and compare the differences, then build from there. Good luck with your experiment.

The partitions will be displayed in their order on disk, so you just need to know which is 1st, 2nd or 3rd...

As far as I know, that kext has never been required on any Latitude D systems for AppStore to work.

Indeed, I've noticed these Latitude E6xxx systems often come with disk mode set to RAID in BIOS. It needs to be changed to AHCI for the disk to be seen in OS X.

You could have used DOS tool DiskPart from within Windows to play with your partition status. It's basic and crude but does the job afaik.

Everything looks Ok to me. However you could try to temporarily remove the VoodooHDA+HDADisabler kexts in case the KP comes from Voodoo (has caused issues in the past, depending on the version you have). You'd have no audio of course, but at least you'd know if that was the source of the problem. Forget about that org.chameleon.Boot.plist.plist, you can delete that file.

No to both... If you don't have a Mac or Hack at hand, your only way is to 1st temporarily install SL (retail copy) with ModCD. You'll then be able to create any myHack USB installer you want.
