Mmm, try this one with IDE0 device back to original address. DSDT_D820Intel_AHCI3.zip

Did you try adding the SATA Chameleon module to /Extra/Module? I don't know if that adds AHCI support like Linux does though, but worth investigating... Not owning a D820, I did not know AHCI mode was not available in the BIOS, so yes, you're right, the other alternative is a DSDT patch. Let's see what we can do here... Copy attached patched DSDT table to /Extra then reboot with boot option: DSDT=DSDT_D820Intel_AHCI2.aml (don't replace your existing DSDT table in case the new table screws things up). Let us know if it works or not. DSDT_D820Intel_AHCI2.zip This patch should: 1) force device IDE0 at address 001F0002 (from 001F0001) 2) force ICH7-M device id to 0x27c5, i.e. the AHCI-capable version (from default 0x27c4) Should this trick work, OS X would hopefully load AppleAHCIport + IOAHCIFamily kexts.

Did you try the Chameleon SSD optimizer? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1551-samsung-128gb-ssd-in-a-d620/?hl=%2Bd620+%2Bssd&do=findComment&comment=13481 That's what I use, but it's on a D630...

Last update: 02 Feb 2020 'thought it would be useful to try and provide a recap of what is supported, what isn't, if it works OOB or if it does not, for which OS X version, etc. I invite everyone to bring his/her own contribution and it'll be added to the list. This post will be updated as contributions come along in order to keep the list under control.

In rare cases, binary patching may also be necessary. For some cards, DSDT Patching can be a suitable and permanent alternative to kext patching (no need to repatch a kext after OS X updates and upgrades or new installations). For instance, in the case of the Atheros AR5B95 card (chip AR9285 168c,2b), adding compatibility with a chip known to be supported OOB such as AR9380 168c,30 or AR9280 168,2a (as found in the vanilla Atheros40 kext) in a _DSM method for the identified DSDT device does the trick once and for all since it'll make the OS load the associated kext: Device (<YourDevice>) // Identified wireless device through IORegistryExplorer (usually: ARPT) { ... ... ... Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // Device Specific Method for the wireless card { Store (Package () { "model", Buffer (0x1E) { "Atheros AR5B95 b/g/n Wireless" }, "device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "built-in", Buffer (One) { 0x00 }, "name", Buffer (0x10) { "AirPort Extreme" }, "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x09) { "Internal" }, "compatible", // Declares compatibility with a device Buffer (0x0B) { "pci168c,30" // PCI id of device supported OOB } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } ` In the same respect, in the case of the Broadcom BCM4322x cards (e.g.: chip BCM43225 14e4,4357) or BCM4352 cards (14e4,43b1), adding compatibility with a chip known to be supported OOB such as BCM94360 14e4,43ba or 14e4,43a0 (as found in the vanilla AirPortBrcm4360 kext) in a _DSM method for the identified DSDT device does the trick once and for all since it'll make the OS load the associated kext: Device (<YourDevice>) // Identified wireless device through IORegistryExplorer (usually: ARPT) { ... ... ... Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // Device Specific Method for the wireless card { Store (Package () { "model", Buffer (0x23) { "AzureWare AW-NB290H b/g/n Wireless" }, "device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "built-in", Buffer (One) { 0x00 }, "name", Buffer (0x10) { "AirPort Extreme" }, "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x09) { "Internal" }, "compatible", // Declares compatibility with a device Buffer (0x0B) { "pci14e4,43a0" // PCI id of device supported OOB } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } ` Broadcom BCM43224-based cards with id 14e4:4353 (e.g. DW1520) are subject to whitelisting in AirPortBrcm4360 kext. Wireless will only work if using the SMBIOS of a supported Mac Model or after binary patching the kext to inject the Mac board-id of the desired SMBIOS.

ML fix not successful, so no fix available yet. According to forum member javamocha2000, DW1390 and DW1505 both operate OOB under Mavericks with WPA2-PSK encryption. 3 Some BCM4311-based cards with PCI id 14e4-4311 and some Atheros AR9380-based cards are reported non-functional -> the affected devices are half-size mini PCIe models, full-size mini PCIe models being Ok. 4 AR946x (168c,34), AR9485 (168c,32) and AR9565 (168c,36) work to some degree (i.e. not 100%) with alternative (re-written) Atheros40 driver as posted at InsanelyMac by Chunnann. Further patching facility posted here. These cards are NOT recommended. 5 DW1520 (14e4,4353) is known to suffer from frequent and repeated wireless disconnections when plugged into mini PCIe-only slot and built-in Bluetooth is enabled. This may even lead to wireless turning off. This has been noticed on Dell Latitude E6x20 and E6x30. Wireless works Ok once built-in Bluetooth is disabled in BIOS or, as stated by wl_michael, if the card is fitted into combo PCIe/USB slot such as WWAN. 6 DW1820A and other BCM4350-based cards should all be supported. See our BCM4350 guide for these cards.

No idea, sorry.

I guess the DVD is auto-mounted on insertion or myHack would not detect SL media to create the installer. But it's clearly reporting an issue reading some of the files, hence my conclusion that it may be damaged. Maybe you could make an image out of it and try to mount that disk image instead for myHack.

You mentionned "DVD drive"... Are you creating your USB installer using a mounted SL DVD? Could the DVD be damaged?

Well, I'm open to stand corrected, but I understand that myHack no longer supports installations on MBR partitioned HDD. That would exclude OS X on your current Win7 HDD. That would leave you with no other solution but use another disk, whether internal of USB external (that works for OS X, not for Win). I think I have an old 40Go IDE HDD with Win7 on it, I'll give that a try tonight after recovering a bit of space, to confirm.

Welcome and enjoy OSXL!

You download the bootpack (it goes as "Extra" to 'download' folder of user account by default). You run myHack -> Create Extra and point to the downloaded bootpack. That's it. For EDP, you download the app, install it and run it. Start by building the pack relevant to your system. Then you may run other utilities, but they're optional.

Extract the BCMxxxx kext from the bootpack and copy it to /Extra/Extensions. Run myFix (full) and reboot. Basically, similar problem as detailed here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2112-snow-leopard-on-d620-no-sound/

You won't be able to boot without a bootloader and, if you friend's Mac does not closely ressembles your D830 hardwarewise, good luck!!! Is there a particular reason why you won't partition your disk GUID?

Don't you simply need a TRIM enabler tool/app that you will use to enable TRIM on your SSD drive? A simple Google search will get you one.

That's the result we've noticed when you have Chameleon module 'FileNVRAM.dylib' on /Extra/modules + a Chameleon boot file pre-v2169/2170. Remove that module and you'll be able to boot normally again. Meantime, try to boot off your USB installer.

Check that your USB installer contains a kext called IOATAFamily in /Extra/Extensions. If it's not there, search recent forum posts in D8xx section for invisible/missing SATA drive. I've copied the kext in one of my replies earlier this week.

To get help on the DSDT table, follow the process detailed here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1945-dsdtssdt-patching/

Why don't you upgrade to 10.7.5? It's fully validated on the D630...

You should not have any errors. Make sure you have a proper retail version of 10.6.3 as only the retail version has all the necessary installation files...

Then you may have a defective USB key. Try a low level format with a windows tool maybe.

How did you partition/format that USB key? I'd recommend you went for a GUID partition formatted OS X (journaled).

Copy it to /E/E (=/Extra/Extensions).

"get it from the bootpack, copy it to /E/E and re-run myFix (full)"

You need BCM5722D kext in /E/E. If EDP does not appear to install it (something we need to look into), get it from the bootpack, copy it to /E/E and re-run myFix (full).

Mmm, you should have 'AppleBCM5751Ethernet' kext in /E/E. It's in the bootpack but it appears to be left behind during EDP kext installation phase. That will be fixed asap. AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip

Re: Ethernet, there should be a BCM57xxx kext in /E/E. I can't explain why that'd be missing all of a sudden. We need to look at EDP to check if that has gone missing for some reason. I'll check things up on my D620 GMA950 tonight and let you know.
