    Hi, the Optiplex 755 has long been integrated in EDP. You can find the bootpacks at the usual place. The nVidia GeForce GT610 works OOB with Lion and ML (see post #4 here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2032-dell-vostro-200/).

    PCiRoot/PciRootUID=0 is default settings. Did you try with those options set to 1? Same for npci option, there are 2 possible values: 0x2000 or 0x3000.

    Now that's what I call challenge! 1st of all, only real Mac systems can boot OS X CDs/DVDs directly, non-Apple systems require a bootloader. 2nd, Apple never used AMD CPUs in their products; as such, AMD-based platforms require special kernels to boot OS X. Now the question for you to resolve is whether a past or present AMD-oriented bootloader would boot on that x86 Sun workstation. Try Nawcom's ModCD. If that does not even boot, stick to Unix/Linux OS.

    Sounds like a brilliant contribution, many thanks for this!

    Try and re-install Chameleon on that ML partition/HDD.

    Check your BIOS settings and make sure you've used the right bootpack on your installer then. Or re-make it in case it got corrupt for some reason... For Lion, I also recommend that you boot with option "USBBusFix=No".
  7. Hervé
    Is that a distro or "downloaded" image you're using or a legit' Lion installer app from AppStore that you've used to make a myHack installer with our bootpack?

    Having done RAM upgrades on several existing/running SL/L/ML installations, I can tell that they've always gone straight through, just as they would with Windows. Maybe your new modules are faulty, badly seated or of the wrong type. What did you put in? A RAM upgrade is normally completely transparent and without side effects. Does your D830 show the full 4GB in the BIOS Ok?
  9. Hervé
    Which Lion version did you install or are you trying to install? There often seemed to be trouble with post-10.7.3 versions at initial installation, whereas it's Ok with 10.7-10.7.3 versions (that you can subsequently upgrade to 10.7.4/10.7.5 after EDP has been installed and system build done). Are you getting KP at myHack installer startup or is this happening on boot/reboot after the installation completed?

    Do you have a DW530 bluetooth module installed at all? That was known to cut audio off. You could also try the patched STAC92xx kext to see if it makes any difference.

    The Dell Latitude 13 has been integrated in EDP for a while now. Just follow the installation procedure with myHack USB installer + retail SL image/DVD + OSXL booptack then post-install EDP. The booptack will hopefully work for your machone, but you'll see soon enough... Your Intel wireless card will need to be replaced though; it's not supported. With a Core Solo, you are limited to SL (Lion needs C2D), but the procedure is identical whatever the CPU.

    There used to be good lists on insanelymac's wiki, arranged by OS X version & release. Have a look there. It usually specifies everything.
  13. Hervé
    No straight answer: 1st, you need a card that's the same format as yours so that the swap is easily done. Then it depends if you want a "G" card or a "N" version and for those, if you want a 150Mbps version or a 300Mbps capable one. Then, some cards will work OOB, others will need an additional kext.

    I didn't know that "acpi=off" option. Did you try the 32/64bit option arch=i386/x86_64? You may also want to try option: ahcidisk=1 eg: GraphicsEnabler=No PciRoot=1 ahcidisk=1 npci=0x2000 arch=x86_64 -f -v
  15. Hervé
    Great, thanks for your work. We can probably work something out for graphics under Lion with a DSDT patching (graphics injection). Same goes for sleep: a DSDT patch could fix it. Did you try with/without SleepEnabler?

    Re: CPU/RAM speed, I'd say you have Dynamic Acceleration set to enabled in your BIOS configuration. Turn if off. You might as well recheck that all your BIOS parameters are configured as per recommended settings.
  17. Hervé
    It's unsupported and has to be replaced.
  18. Hervé
    Not until we know which card it is! A universal fix is to install a known compatible card... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-wireless-cards-inventory/

    Hi, thanks for this guide. Sounds like it's a straight forward installation. One comment though: if you use myHack to install Mac OS X, you should install the additional kexts to /Extra/Extensions as opposed to /S/L/E which, ideally, should be left vanilla or as vanilla as possible. All those kexts you listed as SLE targets can go to /E/E. It also looks like some are not necessary or appear ex-ModCD and can therefore be replaced by more recent kexts. Lets get this integrated to EDP. Are you (and your XPS) available for testing?
  20. Hervé
    Again, read the entire MacRumors thread and you'll find solutions...
  21. Hervé
    Just follow the guide step by step and it'll get you there.

    Holly cow, I looked at the specs on Dell's web site! It's quite a dinosaur you got there. Seriously, forget trying to run anything decent on that old lady, even XP. This is hardware that dates back to 2002-2003. On top of this, you may have noticed that the wiki page you pointed to dates back to 2007 (as did the dead links) and that it mentions this laptop was "poorly supported"... I hope you did not pay too much for this C840, because it's kind of worthless!

    Tiger 10.4 is a very very old and obsolete Max OS X version, I can't see any point trying to install it nowadays. Anyway, here we only support Snow Leopard 10.6 , Lion 10.7 and Mountain Lion 10.8.
  24. Hervé
    That's probably going to be limited to Snow Leopard, possibly with legacy kernel. You can always try ModCD with a retail SnowLeopard DVD or image to start with, see if you can boot the installer and proceed with installation. If you get through, we may look at a subsequent myHack installation and possible integration in EDP.
  25. Hervé
    Looks like you did not create the myHack USB installer properly. Or you've used the wrong bootpack. Make sure you know which D630 model you have.
