  1. Ok, well, I don't want to ruin your early enthusiasm, but this is highly unlikely to work on our hacks. And no, no-one made any GMA950/GMA X3100 kexts for ML. This is a rather dirty, not to say completely fu**ed up method (!): 1) it basically replaces the entire /S/L/E folder of mainstream ML by /S/L/E of DP1, to which 32bit graphics kexts from Lion have been added 2) it replaces the entire /S/L/F OpenGL folder of mainstream ML by an edited one (from DP1?) 2) it replaces mainstream Mach kernel with DP1 kernel (to support 32bit mode) Simply open up the install.command script with a text editor and you'll see... This leads to some sort of seriously degenerated 32bit version of ML! The result is that some real Mac can boot ML in 32bit mode and, thanks to Lion graphics kexts, then fully supports those GMA950 & GMA X3100 graphics chips dropped by mainstream ML. However, there's no guarantee that our EDP add-on kexts will load under DP1 kernel or that certain applications or utilities will even work on such bastardized installations. One of the replies in the thread mentions that Disk Utility no longer works and others mentioned losing networking too... One could argue that running ML DP1 itself would probably work better! I'm going to test this on D620/D630 Intel, but this may just end up as a red herring... This is very very different from the proper job done by Nawcom & Co on SL legacy kernels where each particular version of kernel was patched or the myHack clever way of bypassing /S/L/E vanilla kexts to load replacements from /E/E. /S/L/E should always be left untouched! On top of that, it's not really sustainable: you lose any new kexts provided in any mainstream ML that's not included in DP1 list you would have to repeat the task after every ML update, again losing all potential new kexts brought by the update It's probably kind of lucky that it worked at all on 10.8.1/10.8.2 installations (and it looks like it does not on 10.8.3). I guess, this has a better chance to work on older Macs than later ones dropped by Apple for ML. But calling and locking on DP1 kernel + kexts is just kind of stupid to me...
  2. Even with GMA support, you'd find ML quite slow on a D430. Lion is already kinda slow on the D4x0. Best OS X version on those is SL...
  3. Yes, definitely something to be tested! But caution, it seems to require the DP1 kernel, so that may lead to losing quite a few apps...
  4. Here are recommended BIOS settings that are known to work on D420 (Core Duo) with Intel GMA950 under Snow Leopard. These settings were tested and verified with BIOS A04, A06 and custom OSX A06. Onboard Devices: . Fast IR = COM2 . Integrated NIC = enabled . Internal modem = enabled . External USB ports = enabled . Integrated USB Hub = High Speed . Parallel port = off (or whatever) . Serial port = COM1 . PC Card and 1394 = enabled Video: . Ambient Light Sensor = Off . Brightness = max . Brightness (AC) = max . LCD Panel Expansion = enabled . Primary Video = Onboard Video Security: . Admin Password = not set . System Password = set (/!\ Must be set on GMA950 laptops or Kernel Panic (=crash) on or after wake /!\) . Internal HDD PW = not set . Password Change = Permitted . Password Bypass = Reboot & Resume Bypass . Wireless Switch Change = Denied . Wi-Fi Catcher Change = Denied . CPU XD Support = Enabled . TPM Security = Off . TPM Activation = Deactivate . Computrace = Deactivate (may be set to Disabled) Performance: . Multi Core Support = Enabled . HDD Acoustic Mode = Performance . SpeedStep Enable = Enabled Power Management: . Auto On Mode = Off . Auto On Time = xxxxxx . USB Wake Support = Enabled or Off (USB wake only operates when laptop is on mains and may cause Sleep/Instant Wake issues) . Wake on LAN/WLAN = Off Docking: . Undocking Method = Hot Undock . PCI Slot Monitoring = Enabled Silent . Universal Connect = Enabled POST Behavior: . Adapter Warnings = Enabled . Fn Key Emulation = Scroll Lock . Fast Boot = Minimal . Virtualization = Enabled or Disabled (only required to run virtual machines) . Keypad (Embedded) = Fn Key Only . Mouse/TouchPad = Touchpad-PS/2 . Numlock LED = On . USB Emulation = Enabled Wireless: . Internal Bluetooth = Enabled . Internal Wi-Fi = Enabled (/!\ keep to Disabled if you have an Intel card, they're not supported and need to be replaced /!\) . Internal Cellular = Enabled . Wireless Switch = All . Wi-Fi Catcher = Enabled The above settings are compatible with sleep/wake operation (hibernation mode set to 0).
  5. Try and select a different SMBIOS plist to pretend your Hackintosh is one of the Mac models officially compatible with ML
  6. Good stuff. Once you get to SL 10.6.8, you should then be able to use the latest legacy kernel 10.8.0. It's available in the Precision 670 boot pack if I remember well. If not, you'll easily find it on the web.
  7. Mmm, legacy iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded)... Maybe the Pentium D is not compatible with Mach kernel (I thought it were), although, usually, you get a kernel panic and a system reset in such case... What you could try to do then, is add one of Nawcom's legacy kernels to the root of your myHack USB installer and specify it when you boot it (just type , eg: Darwin_10.8.0). If that works, you'll have to copy the legacy kernel to your HDD after your initial installation and specify it in your Chameleon boot plist. Try with the attached kernel. Darwin_10.4.0.zip
  8. You're not very clear. Are you or are you not making use of a proxy, i.e. do you have one to control access to the Internet? If you do, you probably need to configure your SVN client to make use of your proxy. You can look it up on the web, there are tutorials. Are you in an office environment?
  9. The Optiplex SFF uses a Q965 Express Intel chipset with GMA3000 integrated graphics. That graphics chip is totally unsupported by Mac OS X so you basically need to add a supported PCIe x16 graphics card to get anywhere (without graphics support, a Hackintosh is hardly usable...). Your choice in that respect could be limited since I believe the SFF model can only accept low-profile cards. I have some experience on that front: my Vostro 200 is the Slim Tower version. Low-profile cards that will work in SL include: ATI Radeon Pro X1300 (Dell fitted a fanless version to some of their Slim PCs (I have it). Available cheaply on ebay) ATI Radeon HD5570 nVidia 8400GS nVidia GT520? -> needs confirmation I believe all those exist in passive/fanless form, which is probably what you need on your Optiplex 745 SFF (Dell's documentation mentions 25W max. on PCIe x16 slot and a 275W power supply). Be careful though, as they may take up 2 slots due to heatsink height/depth. Intel Q965 chipset operates an ICH8 I/O controller. That is normally supported by the IOATAFamily kext, but if using that kext does not help in seeing/detecting your HDD, you ought to check the PCI device id for your on-board controller as it may differ from the id(s) specified in the kext plugin. If you open up IOATAFamily kext and browse to the PlugIns folder, you'll see a kext called AppleIntelPIIXATA. In that kext, you'll find a file called Info.plist. This is where details of the I/O controllers can be found. For instance, this is the sort of things you should find in the plist, for ICH8 controllers: ICH8 ATA/100 CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPIIXATA Controller Name ICH8 ATA/100 IOClass AppleIntelPIIXATARoot IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x28508086 [...] ICH8 Serial ATA CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPIIXATA Controller Name ICH8 SATA IOClass AppleIntelPIIXATARoot IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x28208086 [...] ICH8 2 Port Serial ATA CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPIIXATA Controller Name ICH9 2PTS SATA IOClass AppleIntelPIIXATARoot IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x28258086 [...] ICH8-M Serial ATA CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPIIXATA Controller Name ICH8-M SATA IOClass AppleIntelPIIXATARoot IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x28288086 [...] The lines reading provide the full PCI id of the hardware: the 4digits number right after '0x' is the device id and 8086 is the vendor id for Intel. If you still have Windows running on that Optiplex, you can easily retrieve the device id of your controller: open-up the Device Manager, select your ICH8/SATA HDD controller and right-click to Properties. In the 'Details' tab and you should see PCI device id + vendor id in a line that looks like: "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_xxxx&SUBSYS_--------------". The number displayed after DEV is your PCI device id. Alternatively, use Terminal command lspci -nn (need kext lspcidrv loaded though). If the above plist does not contain your particular device id, you need to add it: you can either copy/paste an existing ICH8 section, rename it to something like "ICH8 3" (or whatever you like) and replace the device id by your particular number or you could just overwrite an existing PCI id. You can use a simple editor like TextEdit to make your changes. This process is called patching the plist/patching the kext. No guarantee that it'll work afterwards though... Note that, to be able to edit the kext plist, you'll probably have to copy it (not move it) away from /E/E before you make your changes, or you're likely to meet a Write access issue. After making and saving your changes, copy the kext back to /E/E (replace the existing file if prompted to) and re-run myFix (quick).
  10. I understand this audio chip to be supported by VoodooHDA. Try it! Look here too: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1970-fix-for-audio-issue-after-sleep-in-alc269/
  11. The Optiplex 745 is already integrated in EDP, although I admit there are several forms of that particular model. However, they share the same underlying platform. Did you use the Optiplex 745 boot pack? Can you set your SATA HDD mode to AHCI on the BIOS at all? I'd also advise you to search for posts about your model on the forum. It's been discussed before.

    HWMonitor

    HWMonitor is accurate regarding CPU T° as long as the the IntelCPUMonitor kext has the right Tjmax value in its plist. You can get the Tjmax info for your CPU off Ark Intel. In all likelihood, the 2.0GHz CPU in your D630 is T7250 or a T7300. As mentioned before, I doubt it can be a T7200 out of a D620 since sockets are different between the 2 laptops and a socket M T7200 does not fit in a socket P (incompatible pinouts). Those CPUs have a Tjmax of 100° by the way.
  13. myHack usually places deleted kexts in /Extra/RemovedExtensions; they can therefore be retrieved and re-instated.
  14. Can you upload your IOATAFamily kext please?
  15. May be it's not the touchpad itself but the ribbon cable...
  16. Your RAM modules are Ok.
  17. D620 has Socket M and uses FSB 667MHz CPUs whereas D630 has Socket P and uses FSB 800MHz CPUs; the CPUs are not interchangeable (I just checked: a T7200 out of a D620 cannot physically fit in the socket of a D630). You really need to know what you have in there, it could just be a low-end FSB800 proc.
  18. I'd make sure your hardware is D630, not D620. As Bronxteck said, it's pretty easy to put the button front panel of a D630 on a D620. T7200 is a typical D620 CPU laptop reset on wake is a well-known D620 GMA issue when BIOS system password is not set but D620 BIOS stopped at A10 version, D630 BIOS went up to A18...
  19. A T7200 in a D630? Mmm, that sounds wrong: the T7200 is FSB667 whereas the D630 takes FSB800 CPUs. You seem to have a D630 with D620 aspects... What does your BIOS say about CPU (min and max frequency)? If you want native SpeedStep, just don't install NullCPUPowerManagement. You can verify native SpeedStep operation with HWMonitor tool which is found in /Extra/Storage/apps after EDP is installed: you should see the CPU frequency change when you click on the icon in the menu bar. You may need a more recent version of FakeSMC, but that would need to be verified. No harm in trying "as is" anyway...
  20. You can select max. frequency with PState drop-down menu, but that's not really the best way to run a EIST capable laptop (for obvious heat/battery/fan reasons). I find emulated SpeedStep on-demand mode to work rather well, including manual frequency selection. A few questions: which exact CPU model do you have (e.g. T7500) ? did you configure your BIOS settings as per recommended way, especially the CPU settings? do you use NullCPUPowerManagement kext in /E/E? what CPU settings are currently selected in your Chameleon boot plist? You wrote you "tried to unselect the emulated speedstep", what did you do exactly? It's not that straightforward to remove emulated speedstep once it's installed... Now, if PState is not to your liking, you could also try native SpeedStep (means no use of NullCPUPowerManagement), but that retains the on-demand CPU power functionality...
  21. I think you need to keep GraphicsEnabler set to 'No' for the injecter (i.e. EVOenabler) to load. But try either anyway.
  22. What's "widget ripple"? Do you have translucent finder menu bar? If it's translucent and you can switch between resolution in the screen preference panel (or through screen icon in menu bar), you have full QE/CI. Look here, you'll see the difference with the menu bar: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2032-dell-vostro-200/ It stays plain grey when hardware acceleration is not active.
  23. Yes, do it that way, especially if your initial version is lower that 10.7.4, since that particular one would break the Hackintosh (ACPI kext issue). EDP takes care of that problem.
  24. Just re-run the EDP system build. That can be done at any time. No need to re-install the OS from scratch! System reset on wake is not something that normally affects the D630. Make sure your BIOS settings comply with the published recommended parameters. You would not have confused D630 with D620 by any chance? Because the D620 GMA does need a system password to avoid that particular wake problem.
