    Where do you see a download? I have no idea what could be downloaded once the EDP system build has reached completion. You're talking of a flicker, what do you mean exactly? If you're talking about disk activity, that will be the kext cache being regenerated.

    Good, you see it pays to do a little research on one's own... I presume you went further than 1st post in the thread to get your modded BIOS. Open up a Terminal window and type lspci -nn (assuming you have the lspcidrv kext in /E/E). This will list your entire hardware specs and we'll be able to identify the LAN card model (presumably the same Intel as on the Vostro 200). You say Mavericks is laggy... but what graphics card are you using? I'm not sure the built-in video chip is supported (GMA3100 on Vostro 200).

    Yes, use our tutorial as it is a common base for all myHack installations we support. The difference in your case is that you do not have a bootpack from us though... Do not use that tool for installing kexts on a myHack installation! just copy the kexts to /Extra/Extensions, then run myFix (full). That is the only process you should normally use. Do list the kexts you have in /E/E, the profile you used for your SMBIOS plist and the parameters used in your Chameleon boot plist. Which version of FakeSMC do you use? Better even, upload a zipped version of your /Extra folder.

    Placing DSDT.aml in /E/E of your USB installer was fine. The above BIOS link will take you towards a Insiron 530 thread that lists several modded BIOSes. Read it thoroughly to download the most adequate file. At least some people reported using those modded BIOS to subsequently install ML on their 530.

    Just make up a myHack USB installer with Generic bootpack and start from there. Add any necessary kext according to the hardware specifications of your X61 (Wireless, LAN, audio, etc). A DSDT is a BIOS table, so I trust you understand it is specific to the particular computer model it comes from/applies to. If you've already collected a DSDT for the ThinkPad X61, use it if it appears necessary (for instance, to properly detect HDD if it is not the case without DSDT or avoid black screen when OS X switches to Desktop). For bootloader, we use Chameleon and that is what myHack will install. You often have to psychologically prepare yourself for hours, days if not weeks of efforts when it comes to Hackintoshing, because you will go wrong and you will need to start from scratch again. Such is life. If you're not ready for it, spare yourself the frustration...

    When you install EDP, there is normally a little grey arrow in the window that you can click on: it opens a black box with details of the files being downloaded in green color. Is this where you see errors? If it's the case, then, indeed, you probably have a local issue downloading the files (your own network/cable/wireless, ISP link, etc.). It has happened to users in the past, on rare occasions.
  7. Hervé
    You place it in the /Extra/Extensions folder of your myHack USB installer with filename "dsdt.aml". That'll load by default. Please note that the Inspiron 530/530s is more or less identical to the Vostro 200 desktop, so don't hesitate to refer to our Vostro 200 Guide to install OS X on your machine.
  8. Hervé
    No, no, no, it's a DSDT table I attached, not a modified BIOS. If you want a modded BIOS, look at the Award mods at bios-mods.com.
  9. Hervé
    I don't think those files would help much; from what I had gathered on IM, it's an issue with the HDD declaration in the DSDT table. Try the attached table, it's a known good working one from LatinMcG, a well-known Hackintosher and DSDT/BIOS specialist on IM and various other forums (I even use his 530s table on my Vostro 200 as it gets it to wake properly!!!): dsdts530.zip For other various info, read this thread.

    I would totally re-install EDP if I were you. I understand you made some manual editing to the code to get it to work following an incorrect download/installation, but it's clearly not working properly so it'd be better to start afresh.
  11. Hervé
    Yes to both.
  12. Hervé
    Set your HDD mode to RAID, that should do it. Failing that, head over to biosmods.com where I think there is a modded BIOS that supports activation of the AHCI mode only (it's very similar to Vostro 200). Please note that installation of OS X on the 530 has been very well covered on IM where you can find a good DSDT table.
  13. Hervé
    It's indeed been mentioned some time ago in a thread "buried somewhere" as Bronx said, at least here or here in i8kfan related threads.

    Tuning setting details are listed here.

    The Intel 4965 is using 3 antennas where the AR5B91 only uses 2; there's no power cable there... Just leave the grey cable disconnected and its connector end properly insulated (they normally have a little transparent plastic sock when unused). Check the good detection of your Atheros card with lspci -nn Terminal command and make sure wireless is no longer disabled in BIOS if you had disabled it. You don't need any additional kext for that card, it works OOB as indicated in the thread.
  16. Hervé
    Once you've created your USB installer, re-run myHack and select "Create Extra", pointing to your downloaded boot pack. Do not install with Generic bootpack, use our OSXL boot pack. Then, when you reach the end of your OS X installation and get prompted for the "Extra" folder, just point to /Extra of your USB installer. If you manipulate kexts in /E/E, whether on a myHack USB installer or on an actual myHack OS X installation, always re-run myFix (quick) so that the kext is actually taken into consideration. If you fail to do that, your kext is just ignored.

    ThinkPad X61 is based on Intel GMA X3100 graphics, as such, it cannot run Mountain Lion or Mavericks. It could possibly run ML if you use the MLPF hack like it's done on our GMA950/GMAX3100 Latitude D Series. You will find lot's of information and guides on forum.thinkpads.com (eg: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=98102) but you can of course try your own myHack Lion installation for instance, bearing in mind that you need to remember to disable or remove any unsupported hardware like Intel wireless cards.
  18. Hervé
    I don't understand this at all; I've checked both my D620 nVidia & D620 GMA950 and both have running LAN interface with Intel binary BCM5751 kext. Are you sure you installed the kext properly? You need to copy it to /E/E then run myFix (quick). AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip
  19. Hervé
    Process is complete, yes. If by "screen flickering" you mean flickering of the contents of the EDPWeb page, that's perfectly Ok, it's just the EDPWeb app. It sounds like you got there, but be cautious as if appears your EDP download did not go too well.
  20. Hervé
    Yes, on paper it should but some HP laptops can be difficult... Your Intel wireless card will have to be replaced because it's not supported. It can be a problem because many HP laptops have a hardware whitelist so you probably won't be able to fit any replacement card compatible with Mac OS X. You'll have to make sure the laptop will also take it. Broadcom-based card usually have a better chance of being accepted by HP laptops as HP used those. You have an older system build around the Intel GM945 chipset but the nVidia 8600M graphics card means you can still install recent OS X versions such as ML or Mavericks. If you manage to complete installation, it won't be the best Hackintosh performer around but should run Ok nevertheless.
  21. Hervé
    Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like booting the installer and completing initial installation is Ok but you're having problem after EDP System Build? If this is the case, you're probably experiencing the same issue as what was recently experienced by D6x0 users where you need to manually select the 'ACPI Fix' option in EDP to install the patched ACPIPlatform kext on your laptop. It's explained in the following posts: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5821-d630-nvidia-freezes-after-pre-configured-edp-5/page-2 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5884-d630-boot-issues-after-updating-with-edp/

    If you still have the ML installation, do try and compare the contents of your /Extra/Extensions to see if there are any differences. Also check that you have DSDT + Chameleon boot plist + SMBIOS plist in /Extra with identical settings as you had in ML.

    I have roughly identical T° readings. my GPU T° can even get higher. I clean the fan regularly, I've renewed thermal paste and even used a copper shim over the nVidia chip but none of this made any difference as far as lowering T° is concerned. D630 keeps on running, so I just live with it...
  25. Hervé
    myHack is what we support and advocate here. Try it with Generic bootpack. That's how it all starts... Naturally, you may use whatever else might get your fancy, but we won't really be able to support you through installation.
