  1. You are somehow incorrect regarding installing Windows on a GPT partitioned disk in the sense that it is not limited to UEFI computers only. There's no problem doing that at all on bog standard older computers running "legacy" BIOS only. This works for Win7 at least, I can't speak for older OS like XP or Vista.

     

    That is exactly what I have on one of my Latitude D630:

    D630_GPT-HDD_Win7.jpg

     

    This HDD was originally partitioned through Disk Utility, having booted a myHack USB Lion installer with its default Chameleon bootloader. Win7 was installed after OS X Lion. The Win7 partition was initially formatted FAT in Disk Utility and subsequently reformatted NTFS by the Windows installer. There was no involvement of Clover or any other fancy tool, just our good old regular Chameleon and myHack installer.

  2. Try and disable your discrete video card or the integrated GPU in BIOS to see if it makes any difference.

     

    Also, do try and identify your exact wireless card model as Intel cards are unsupported and not all Broadcom/Atheros/Realtek/others are supported.

  3. Displayed T° could be wrong. CPU at 38° is something rarely seen in my opinion (at startup from cold for instance or after a wake).

     

    What are you using to measure T°? What is your FakeSMC kext version? What SMBIOS profile are you using? Which CPU? Which D6xx model?

    • Integrated Intel HD3000 graphics with 13.3" 1366x768 WLED LCD
    • 4Go DDR3-1333 RAM
    • Intel 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet (PCI ven id 0x8086, dev id 0x1502)
    • IDT 92HD90 High Def audio (PCI ven id 0x8086, dev id 0x1c20)
    • O2 Micro SD card reader (PCI ven id 0x1217, dev id 0x8221)
    • DW375 Bluetooth module (PCI ven id 0x431c, dev id 0x8187)
    • Integrated Sonix HD Webcam (PCI ven id 0x0c45, dev id 0x6433)
    • CD/DVD drive
    • 1 x headset jack
    • 1 x USB 2.0 ports
    • 1 x eSATA port
    • 1 x VGA output
    • 1 x mini HDMI output
    • 1 x 34mm ExpressCard slot

     

     

    Target OS X release:

    • Mavericks 10.9.2 (at time of writing)

    Installation fully successful with myHack v3.3.1 and attached E6320 bootpack (derived from E6220 bootpack off OSXL compatibility chart) on a regular SATA HDD partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS X (journaled).

    Working:

    • full QE/CI with HD3000 graphics OOB
    • VGA output (with patched AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB kext)
    • audio (with VoodooHDA & HDADisabler kexts)
    • built-in Gigabit Ethernet (with AppleIntelE1000 kext)
    • bluetooth OOB
    • native SpeedStep (with patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext, generated SSDT table, tuned FakeSMC (SMC keys 1.69f4/SMC compatible smc-huronriver) and MBP8,1 SMBios profile)
    • Turbo boost to x32 3.2GHz
    • display & system sleep/wake (sleeps Ok through active corner or energy savings setup) - set hibernate mode to 0 (sleep to RAM)
    • wireless with compatible card (had an unsupported 1/2-size DW1501 so temporarily installed a full-size DW1395 in empty WWAN slot)
    • battery management & monitoring (with VoodooBattery or AppleSmartBattery kexts)
    • CD/DVD drive OOB
    • SD card reader (with patched VoodooSDHC kext -> :excl:  appears to break sleep when closing the lid, but Fn-F1 still fully functional as is Apple menu Sleep option. No issue with wake at all.)

     

    Not working:

    • integrated HD Webcam

     

    Not tested:

    • HDMI video output (had no mini-HDMI cable)
    • Express card

     

    Once system is installed, you may update Chameleon to latest release via Chameleon Wizard (v2.2 r2378 at time of writing).

     

    Everything in the pack below:

    :!:   :!:   :!: Other E6320 laptops fitted with same graphics hardware config (GPU + Screen) but different CPU will require a different and suitable SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with SSDT generator tool -> See RampageDev's blog for detailed guide).  In such cases and in order to avoid CPU power management-related kernel panics (KP), NullCPUPowerManagement kext is probably required until the CPU-specific SSDT is generated. The kext just needs to be added to /Extra/Extensions followed by myHack->myFix (quick).

  5. Strange, I've just verified it once more on my D430. If you replace your LAN kext in /E/E by the version attached above and run myFix (quick), it should work without problem. Are you sure you replaced your existing kext properly?

     

    I get Ethernet working in SL 1.6.8, Lion 10.7.5 and ML 10.8.4/10.8.5 with the Intel binary kext.

  6. Obviously iMessage, iCloud and AppStore are linked to Networking. These app usually require that your LAN interface is 1st in the list (en0 interface required to be 1st interface).

     

    Please post us the output of the lspci -nn Terminal command (needs lspcidrv kext loaded) so that we get a detailed and precise description of your hardware. Right now, we don't even know what NIC you have...

     

    Also list us the kexts you've placed in /Extra/Extensions (if this is where you've placed your add-on kexts of course). I assume that, after adding your bootpack (what you call "Extras") you did run a myFix (quick).

  7. It probably does not auto-boot on any given partition because none is selected as a default partition. You can choose one through Chameleon Wizard if you want and also specify the potential delay you may want to have at bootloader launch.

     

    Use Disk Utility app to establish the exact partition arrangements on your HDD (1st partition is at top and last one at bottom).

     

    Download the 10.7.5 Combo Update rather than update through the Apple menu. It will allow you to make kext adjustments if required before rebooting into 10.7.5.

  8. Well, AMD kernel for 10.9.2 is probably not 100% guaranteed since Apple have not released source code yet... 10.9 and 10.9.1 used the same 13.0.0 kernel, so there was no issue updating and running 10.9.1 if 10.9 worked. Different story for 10.9.2 though... Furthermore, didn't that BSA R9 kernel get published before 10.9.2 was actually released?

     

    If you're still running 10.9/10.9.1, you may want to try Bronya's AMD RC7 kernel. It certainly works on my legacy non-SSSE3 dual-core Xeon platform.
