    You can either stick with Standard BIOS 10.0.16 and configured your HDD controller in RAID mode or follow the instructions published at biosmods.com re: modded BIOS.
  2. Hervé
    Did you format your HDD as "Mac OS X Extended (journaled)" ?
  3. Hervé
    There's no problem, it's just that it's a non-impacting error message, so quite unimportant...
  4. Hervé
    That key is used for Fan speed monitoring, so even if FakeSMC is complaining it, it has no impact. Feel free to add it to your FakeSMC Info plist file and your error will disappear. Quick search on the Net: FNum - tells you how many fans are in the system To read data from each fan: F0Ac - Fan actual speed F0Mn - Fan minimum speed F0Mx - Fan maximum speed F0Sf - Fan safe speed F0Tg - Fan target speed So, you could add the following for instance:

    I never said I did not have that error. I do actually get it with the very recent FakeSMC version I'm using. Can't remember if that existed with earlier v5.2.678 or otherwise... Bottom line is: does this affect the way your D630 runs at all? It does not as far as I'm concerned.

    -> Security and Privacy pref pane. Eg: in Mavericks:

    Check your Ethernet kext (driver) in /Extra/Extensions: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6116-no-ethernet-dell-d620/?hl=universal&do=findComment&comment=33813 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5773-d430-lion-installation/?hl=universal&do=findComment&comment=30422 Native and/or non-native wireless functionality depends entirely on the card model. Look at R&D->Wireless sub-section for details; there's a thread that lists (non-exhaustively of course) supported and unsupported cards.
  8. Hervé
    You have an Intel wireless card; that needs to be disabled or, ideally, totally removed and replaced with a supported model. Intel cards can cause issues at installation if left in place or enabled.
  9. Hervé
    Nope, it certainly should not show "GeForce" (it's a Quadro) and there should be no shared memory, only dedicated Video memory... Check your BIOS System info pages because it certainly sounds like you got the wrong model...
  10. Hervé
    All this was discussed at great length in the thread you started last October (M4300 no Ethernet); I suggest you revisit it as you are repeating the very same questions again and all answers are in the thread. And of course, there's the recap thread available since last June: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/&do=findComment&comment=36148 Please read and follow instructions as explained.

    Yes, EDP 5 is meant to work. However, there might be issues following some recent changes. Let's look into this...
  12. Hervé
    Well, run it with Pandora then. There is no particular issue installing Mavericks with myHack v3.3.1 that we know of other than the MBR patch and you must have seen that several other people have successfully installed 10.9 on their D830. If there were issues, I'd say they'd more probably be related to the bootpack. I'll see to it next week.
  13. Hervé
    If there's no guide here, there's no guide here... The whole idea of the Hackintosh community is to give as much as you can, not just take as much as you can. So roll up your sleeves and get that G700 up and running, then share your findings.
  14. Hervé
    That warning is nothing unusual in itself, but maybe that D830 has other hardware problem beyond the broken LCD… Did you try with USBBusFix=No by the way?
  15. Hervé
    It's probably worth consulting the R&D->Graphics sub-section of the forum and look at what's provided for HD3000 GPU.
  16. Hervé
    No, OS X is normally able to read a MBR-partitioned and NTFS/FAT-formated disk and access it in Read-Only mode by default. If OS X is prompting you to initialize it then it's not able to detect the format at all.
  17. Hervé
    Well, you can possibly try Lion, ML or Mavericks with Bronya's kernels. I found them to work very well on my Intel legacy platform...
  18. Hervé
    Well, I can only vouch for results when using standard BIOS A15 because that's what I tested myself and noticed degraded performance with subsequent BIOS versions... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5711-bios-settings-m4300/&do=findComment&comment=31945 I don't know what the modded BIOS was been based on, so I would strongly suggest you revert to BIOS A15, at least to try things out.
  19. Hervé
    Everything confirmed Ok with el_caboing after he used the suggested FakeSMC version (5.2.678 I guess), not the one installed by EDP.
  20. Hervé
    It would be quite normal to see both cores idling at 598MHz; however, provided that SpeedStep is not disabled in BIOS, you should see throttling as and when required. Which BIOS are you running? I had found that A15 was Ok, whilst A17 slowed things down quite badly.
  21. Hervé
    Weird, that /E/E/ should be ok. I'll try to get hold of my a D830 NVS 135M next week to see how Mavericks goes on that system. I'll try both an update from 10.9.1 and a direct 10.9.2 installation.
  22. Hervé
    Can you list the contents of your /E/E folder please?
  23. Hervé
    You need to use a valid Mac model profile, i.e. a SMBIOS plist file. Normally, you would look for a Mac Modelwith specs that more or less matches the specs of your machine (you can use Chameleon Wizard for that), but in your case... it's a 10yr old Intel 915G/ICH6 chipset based dinosaur! By default, try MacBook 3,1 or MacPro 3,1 and see how that goes. I don't think you'll get graphics acceleration (i.e. no full QE/CI) for that basic GMA900 chip (you'd have to stick to Leopard 10.5 for that). Clearly, there would be no point if your Asus PCIe card is supported. If it's not, swap it for a supported model (old cards such as ATI X1xxx series can be bought for peanuts these days).
  24. Hervé
    We don't support your unifail, only myHack so try with that method please. Bear in mind this is Haswell platform hardware which is still somehow troublesome as far as Hackintoshing is concerned. As such, do expect some degree of trouble.
  25. Hervé
    It's hanging at graphics initialization; that's where your trouble lies. You need to sort out the handling of your HD3000. Tried boot option GraphicsEnabler=No?
