    Lan adapter missing after edp install

    in The Archive

    Posted

    If LAN adapter has disappeared, just extract it to /E/E from bootpack, the run myFix (full).

     

    If you got KP after SoundFlower was installed, removed it, but I guess it's probably more to do with the audio kext you chose. I'd go back to do a new EDP System build and carefully choose the patched AppleHDA kext that's listed for the D430.

     

    2Go RAM max, I suggest you get familiar with the user's guide specifications off Dell's web site.

    D620 (NVidia) 10.7 doesn't boot

    Sounds like following EDP installation, you have the issue of NVRAM + incorrect Chameleon boot loader, hence no boot!

     

    So, you should either remove FileNVRAM.dylib from /Extra/modules or update your Cham boot loader to r2169 or above. This has been talked about many many times recently. Do a little search on the forum, I've even posted boot file r2170 if memory serves me right.

     

    Re: trackpad, make sure to select Voodoo PS2 controller (ALPS) in the list when you do your system build. I think it select ANV-Slice by default.

    D630 OS X Lion Install Guide

    Yes, you should always copy additional kexts to /Extra/Extensions and follow-up with myFix full. Avoid adding stuff to /S/L/E as this is really for the original Apple stuff and it's best to leave as is unless absolutely necessary. myHack provides the facility to add and/or replace/supersede kexts through /E/E.

     

    Regarding KP every 5/10mins after EDP 5.0 execution, can you say whether there is any mention of EFINVram in the KP message at all? If that's the case, try and replace the boot file at root (/) level by the one I had attached here:

    Install OSX 10.7 Lion on D630 X3100

    What X3100 FrameBuffer kext would that be? No such thing in the bootpack or EDP... Follow the standard EDP documented procedure using the bootpack and you should be Ok. There is no X3100 kext to install on the D630. If you do, then your problem is probably coming from that.

     

    I think this post may require to be locked and moved to Archive. The early procedure provided by Mariusz is now obsolete.

    system ran fine for a good day until this morning when I tried to setup imap mail and it was downloading heavy amounts of msg's and then bsod.

     

    i think there is a high chance the system would bsod during a prime numbers test.

     

    To new users with this laptop, i think snow leopard might be a more stable choice unless you have to use Lion, id avoid as it reminds me more of setting up linux in the early days.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for all the help of the osxlatitude community which without them, I wouldn't be able to even have osx running.  but keep in mind, osx LION on a D620 with the current EDP configuration is more of an experimental than stable, and likely lose hours of productivity from making it work and the random bsods.  I'm sure some other osx versions with the right hardware runs almost seamless.

    There's a new FileNVRam version which could remove the issues previously experienced. By all means, do contribute to the community by testing it and giving feedback. That's how it works...

    Vostro 200 SL installation

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Ok, done more tests and updated the procedure in the guide. Latest Chameleon (r2170 and beyond) appears to support the ATI X1300 card with patched kexts, so the Azimutz's branch boot file + ATI module are no longer necessary. Somehow, it simplifies the installation a bit.

     

    PS: noticed that using the DVI port is much better than using the VGA one. For instance, screen sleep&wake works on DVI port, not on VGA.
