@Demolish, we don't even have the specs for this model. If you have one, could you please provide them so that we can get started?

Ok, will wait for your feedback then. Graphics issue under ML is to be expected: Apple totally dropped support for GMA950 in ML (ML is 64bit mode only and there's no 64bit GMA950/X3100 kexts since an early SL update), so you won't get any resolution switching or acceleration. You can manually force resolution (up to max res) through Chameleon boot plist, but that's it. That's why SL and Lion are recommended since they still support GMA950 in 32bit mode. To ensure that we can do a complete Vanilla installation, I'd invite you to download IORegistryExplorer and extract the IO details to pass on to us. You could also take a note of HW id info through Apple Menu -> About this Mac -> More info/System references and, in the Hardware section, look for: vendor + device id of Ethernet interface vendor + device id of Bluetooth module (it may appear under USB if nothing under bluetooth) vendor + device id of audio hardware (if listed) reference of controller under SATA (if listed)

When the bootloader 1st appears as you boot, look at top left corner. Otherwise, once OS X booted, look at boot version in 1st tab of Chameleon Wizard if you have it installed. If you have r2181, replace your /boot file by r2170 version. I've put it here some time ago: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2137-wanted-edp-4-or-older/

Which version of Chameleon boot file are you runing? r2181, r2170?

Thanks, let's get the integration started! Are LAN + Bluetooth + audio working?

Intel cards are not supported under Mac OS X. You'll need to replace it by a compatible card. Look for a provisionnal list in R&D hardware section->Network. It looks like you would need a full-size mini-PCIe model. Could you post your zipped /Extra folder so that we look at integrating this new model in EDP? Thanks. Which model is it exactly by the way? I see a whole list of R500 variants on the Toshiba web site... According to the Toshiba online documentation, chipset is Intel 945GM, not 965GM. As such, with GMA950 graphics, ML is not the best Mac OS X version to install as support for that chip was dropped and you'll have no hardware acceleration, i.e. poor graphics (same as Dell D6x0 GMA models). Lion would however give you full QE/CI, so it's probably better to stick to that (or SL). I've looked at the specs of all listed models and the Portégé 500 is similar to the Dell D430, with added benefits of standard SATA HDD/SDD as opposed to the infamous ZIF models used in the Dell + more ports or built-in accessories: Intel 945GM chipset Intel C2D FSB533 CPUs: U7600 1.2GHz or U7700 1.33GHz GMA950 graphics 12.1" WXGA LED LCD up to 2GB DDR2 RAM SATA 5400rpm 120/160GB HDD or 64/128GB SSD Optical drive PC card slot Intel Pro/1000 10/100/1000 Ethernet Intel 4965 802.11a/g/n wireless Bluetooth 2.0 adapter SD card reader Fingerprint reader Eg: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=1750568&rpn=PPR50U&modelFilter=R500-S5002&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768662 http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2054138&rpn=PPR50U&modelFilter=R500-S5007V&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768662 Definitely a nice notebook to integrate to EDP. We just need to identify audio + Bluetooth + SD card reader hardware to ensure/confirm compatibility, but maybe they work OOB? Intel Pro/1000 Ethernet might be a problem depending on exact version...

Is GraphicsEnabler set to 'Yes' in your Chameleon boot plist?

How about when booting with -f flag? Which graphics card and CPU do you have? Have a look here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2115-black-screen-after-edp-update/page-3 You may want to try that and report back. But it's something that needs further investigation...

Mmm, looks like the NIC kexts are missing following latest bootpack generation. Bear with us and we'll fix it... Meantime, please copy attached kext to /Extra/Extensions and re-run myFix (full). AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip

Without NullCPUPowerManagement kext, you'd normally check P & C States of the Chameleon boot plist to activate them. However, with Clover... ?

Well, I don't know, I've never experienced or heard of such repeatable issues. Maybe your copy of ML is corrupt.

Hi, interesting work... How far did you get with our OSXL installation method (myHack + additional kexts in /E/E) for potential integration into EDP?

Can you at least get ML started by booting off your myHack USB installer, then selecting your ML HDD partition?

<_ as last october...> https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1881-latitude-d630-n00b-and-kernel-panic-help-d/&do=findComment&comment=13871 If you still don't have access to any Mac OS system to create your myHack USB installer, use Nawcom's ModCD. You'll still need to have a proper copy of retail Snow Leopard (by now, you should know how to get this...). The D630 can run full Vanilla SL/L/ML, so you don't have to insist so much on legacy kernel. Legacy kernel is for non-SSE3/pre-Core or AMD CPUs.

On some Dell laptops, this can be caused by a non-compatible BIOS settings: USB Wake=enabled. Probably worth a check on your system...

Welcome to OSXL. Don't hesitate to look, search and post in the Dell Desktops section for that particular Hackintosh. For HD5450, maybe you can get something out of this: http://www.osx86.net/view/3043-ati_radeon_hd5450_with_full_qe-ci_support.html

Intel wireless cards are a no go for all recent OS X versions (SL, L, ML). Regarding 802.11n wifi cards, you can use any model supported by OS X in the D630 as long as it's full size mini-PCIe format. If you get a 1/2-size card, you'll need a bracket to hold/lock the card in situ. Do a little search on the forum and you'll find various threads on the matter. There's also an open list in the R&D H/W section -> LAN&Wireless. Contributions are invited. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-wireless-cards-inventory/

Well, I can only advise to follow what was recommended in the E6400 ML installation threads: 1) Mountain Lion Anyone? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1617-mountain-lion-anyone/ 2) Mountain Lion on E6400 in 5 steps https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1764-mountain-lion-on-e6400-in-5-steps/ PS: Please avoid multiple threads to report a same problem multiple times.

Please post your specs + OS X version. If your system was booting before adding a DSDT + a Voodoo kext, then try and remove them.

You have to make sure the DSDT fits your own hardware, otherwise, you'll have issues. Try and boot with option: DSDT=No

What specs for those modules? Are they identical? Do you see 4Gb in the BIOS?

Did you check your BIOS version and settings match the recommended values?

I've never experienced such difficulties. Whether using internal SATA HDD (from 80 to 320GB) or SATA/IDE HDD (from 40 to 250GB) connected via USB ports, I always succeeded in installation Snow Leopard, Lion and/or Mountain Lion on my D630s (GMA and nVidia). Maybe something wrong of incompatible with your particular HDD, because the recommended process as listed above is pretty much flawless, at least up to basic/initial OS installation.

Please, do a little search on the forum (D4xx and D6xx), all that has already been mentionned many many times before in the past and quite extensively on the Net too.

Chameleon boot0, boot1, etc. that really depends on how you've arrnaged your disk partition. Are you using MBR or GUID partitioning and how many partitions do you have?
