  1. Can you post your system specs and the SMBIOS profile you're using?
  2. How about starting with a compatible bluetooth module?
  3. Yes. But you should have everything in the Extra you got there, i.e. no need of EDP.
  4. I think you're confusing disk partitioning and partitions formatting... Your disk is either GPT or MBR, it can't be both at the same time.
  5. kext = Kernel EXTension, it's another name for drivers, i.e. it's part of the OS, not Chameleon which is "just" a boot loader (although it does help to inject parameters to the OS). Chameleon would not prevent a LAN or WLAN kext to load. You can check your hardware specs with Terminal command lspci -nn and post us the output. In addition, list us the kext you have in /Extra/Extensions folder. Yes, you can simply install/re-install Chameleon through myHack; it should still allow you to boot Win and, in theory, Linux (TMX bootloader is just a copy of Chameleon afterwards). You would normally find myHack in Applications folder, there's no need to reboot from your USB installer.
  6. What wireless card do you have? I'm surprised Grub would have any effect on that... There's no problem running/installing Win7 on a GPT partitioned disk. Simply format the target partition as FAT from OS X and you'll be able to see it and reformat it NTFS afterwards during Win7 installation. Linux, can't remember, haven't bothered with it for many many years now, but I'm pretty sure I had a successful triple boot with Chameleon before.
  7. Guys, this is a post about Ethernet! Please use a separate thread for graphics! @Durga: is 10BaseT (legacy 10Mbps Ethernet) the only working choice? How about 100Mbps full-duplex?
  8. Check your screen res in the BIOS setup! Getting to know one's computer specs is the primary thing to do for Hackintoshing...
  9. Use this on HiRes/WXGA+ 1440x900 X3100 model: D630_X3100_HiRes_Extra.zip
  10. Did you read my last input?
  11. Ok, nothing specific for Sleep/Wake on the D620 nVidia. It's just running on native CPU power management with MBP5,1 settings (SMBIOS + SMC keys) Can you list the kexts you have in /E/E and the version you use for FakeSMC? Is there a string of characters in your Chameleon boot plist Properties field?
  12. There should not be any sleep/hibernation/wake issues. The D620 nVidia was known for its unrecoverable dark gray screen after screen sleep, but that could be recovered by putting the computer to sleep and then wake it; screen would then return to life. I'll go and check what I have on my D620 NV for sleep&wake; can't remember if it's using the SleepEnabler kext or not.
  13. Do you have the lspcidrv kext in /E/E? It normally comes with recent version of myHack unless I'm mistaken. Which version of myHack are you using by the way?
  14. can you post the output of Terminal command lspci -nn?
  15. Look it up in your BIOS (press F2 at Dell logo when you switch on/reset the laptop). WXGA+ is normally 1440x900. The DSDT table is different and using the wrong one will give you a black screen.
  16. Well... come back when you've sussed it out, because it's critical!
  17. Go to driver's details and get the info about PCI Vendor id + Product id (VID/PID). Eg: You can then compare with the info published in the supported/unsupported wireless cards thread that you'll find in R&D forum section.
  18. Post your model specs (eg: D620 Intel HiRes, D630 nVidia LoRes, etc.) and I'll send you a complete /Extra pack.
  19. Post us the output of Terminal command lspci -nn (needs lspcidrv kext in /E/E, normally installed with myHack). In Windows, look under Device Properties. Failing that, open up your laptop and look for the card. Dell have instruction manuals on their web site for opening up the laptop.
  20. I think I noticed a kext called X3100 in the pack; try to remove it to see if the machine can boot using vanilla graphics kexts.
  21. No issue, that's the place to do it.
  22. Yes, nVidia GeForce G210 is known to work OOB from SL to Mav; it's a good low-end card for Hackintoshes.
  23. The EDP database was broken for the D Series and now points to an invalid AppleACPIPlatform kext. Just use the kext from the bootpack and you'll be Ok.
