Indeed, that's a bit of a problem so we need to review our bootpack. You should however find the generic PS2 kexts on the USB installer: - either in /ExtraBackups - or in /Applications/Utilities, right click on myHack to open its contents, then browse to Contents/Resources/Extra These normally contain the kexts that are part of myHack's Generic bootpack.

I would suggest 2 different things to try with your USB installer: 1) try and boot with option cpus=1 in case it's the QuadCore CPU that's causing the issue 2) in /E/E, remove NullCPUPowerManagement and replace FakeSMC v4.0 by one of Kozlek's recent FakeSMC versions (latest being v6.0.1042 at time of writing: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hwsensors/ -> download one of the binaries zip further down the page on the right side under "Recent releases", then place the plugin kexts inside the PlugIns subfolder of the FakeSMC kext). The Chameleon boot plist then needs to be modified so that P & C states are selected. Finally re-run myFix (quick) on the USB installer before attempting to boot it.

You can only run Snow Leopard 10.6 with that 32bit Core Duo CPU. Just read up the EDP pages above, they contain the step by step guide, then follow the process. Upgrade your CPU to a 64bit Core 2 Duo (strictly FSB667) and you'll be able to install and run Lion 10.7, even ML with the MLPF hack, in which case head over to the EDP->Supported Models with Guide forum section for a detailed guide. Regular 64bit ML and Mavericks are off mark for the D620, whatever the model.

If you've done a proper myHack installation, the /Extra folder I attached will get you going in a fully tuned mode. Just remember to run myFix (full) and update Chameleon (to r2283 at the moment) through the Wizard. Again, make sure you run BIOS A15 and that it is setup according to the recommended parameters listed in the pinned thread. If you follows those instructions, you cannot go wrong, I guarantee successful results.

Can you please confirm in your BIOS that the audio is Sigmatel 9205 and that lspci -nn Terminal returns the following? 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02) Thanks.

How did you install ML on your system? Which method? You CPU could be unrecognised because of the boot loader you use. Which is it, which version? Regarding audio, which version of VoodooHDA do you use? Did you try to edit the kext's plist to increase parameter iGain to say 90 or 100?

No. If you don't use myHack, don't use myFix but proceed with your usual method (kext wizard, manual installation or other).

Only Qualcomm or Apple write these kexts... Conclusion: it's not supported in Mavericks since it's not compatible with 10.9's Atheros40 kext. It might have been compatible with Atheros/Atheros21/Atheros40 kexts of SL, L but it's not with ML and Mavericks -> change your card.

Please use EDP to do a System Build, this model has been supported for years and years now. This assumes a myHack installation with retail SL copy of course (10.6.0/10.6.3/10.6.8), if not you know what to do. We don't support distros here. For wireless, it'll depend on the card you have; by now everyone should be aware that Intel cards are unsupported... If in any doubts, look at the non-exhaustive wireless cards inventory in R&D->Hardware->wifi section of the forum.

If VoodooHDA does not work, try the patched STAC9205 audio pack.

No idea, you try it and tell us!

You don't need kext wizard and you should avoid that tool on a myHack installation as they can conflict. Copy the Atheros40 kext to Desktop, edit it to add your PCI entry (if missing), then move it to /E/E and run myFix (quick). That way, your patch will always be kept even after an OS X update. Otherwise, the kext is likely to be overwritten and your patch lost. Basically, do as explained in post 2#! I can't be clearer than that... PS: the kext I attached already contains the PCI id 168c,2b. Didn't you see that ?

1st of all, start by identifying the model of trackpad your laptop is fitted with: ALPS or other. Then you can use the relevant pack.

Well, it seems it does not like the PS2 kexts you're currently using. You should try another PS2 pack.

Mm, which output port are you using on the GT610? I know DVI + VGA work ok (and simultaneously for dual screen mode) but never tried the HDMI.

Erm… we do not write Qualcomm Atheros kexts, no. Try to patch the Atheros40 as shown in the EDP google source code you found: copy the original kext to Desktop, edit its Info.plist file then place the edited kext in /E/E and run myFix (quick). You should always try and leave vanilla kexts "as is" in /S/L/E. If patching remains ineffective, then that card could prove to be unsupported. Or maybe it'll work, but only on clear networks.

I don't think so, no... Since you're having this issue booting your installer, I'd say Chameleon is not installed properly on your USB key. Try to manually add it with myHack (or a Chameleon package). Did you partition & format your USB key GUID?

GraphicsEnabler=Yes, not graphicsenabler=yes...

Then reboot straight with the flag and option I just specified. You enter those after pressing a key when you see the Chameleon delay bar.

Can you see the card when you do lspci -nn Terminal command? Assuming you do, reboot with flag -f and option GraphicsEnabler=Yes, then re-run myFix (quick) to rebuild your kext cache.

In the BIOS, set the video/init Display 1st to PCIex(press). Use the pinned Vostro 200 BIOS thread as a reference.

You gotta do a search on the forum on "boot:0" or "4K" boot sector to find the fix to that issue.

Try the attached. Note that it contains the patched Broadcom kext for DW1395/DW1397 wireless card + the patched CSR Bluetooth kext to support manual activation/deactivation of DW350/DW360 BT modules through Finder bar BT icon. These 2 kexts should be deleted if not applicable to you. Otherwise, please note that the pack contains: - patched DSDT (you may need to edit it to reflect your own wireless card: look in System Report -> PCI cards) - tuned FakeSMC + Cham boot plist + SMBIOS plist - newer BCM5722D LAN kext to fix the well-known heavy traffic seizure M4300_Extra.zip PS: a DSDT table placed in / or /Extra under filename "dsdt.aml" or "DSDT.aml" does not need to be specified in the Chameleon boot plist. There's no bug in EDP on that matter... Oh, and make sure to stick to BIOS A15!

You can use VoodooHDA v2.7.x or v2.8.x + AppleHDADisabler kexts or the patched STAC pack. These are available through EDP. Otherwise, add the attached kexts to /E/E then run myFix (quick). VoodooHDA.zip

Can you please post the output of a lspci -nn Terminal command and specify which CPU you have? There might still be some issues with EDP, so I'll try to give you a dedicated /Extra folder.
