Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for the update, I have got the system booting on its own, just a couple of more questions.

 

Have you got the following working

 

1 - on board  touch pad /mouse working

2 - USB 3 ports

3 - SD card reader.

 

Cheers.

 

This has been a fun project, i had almost given up until i found your post.

 

Regards

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for posting a reply. I have managed to get OS X installed, however I have run into the same problem which you did in regards to the system not booting up on its own. I have to use the usb key and the -f and -v switches. 

 

Can you expand on your comment   "I installed the Chameleon Wizard application and tried creating a dsdt.aml file.  I put this in the Extra folder and set the options in Chameleon Wizard to use the file and saved the config"

 

I have been trying out how to figure this out but have been unsuccessful, my plan of attack is to get the system to boot on its own and then try and fix my audio / wireless and network.

 

Once again thanks in advance

 

Luis.

Hi Mark,

 

I have a Dell M6500 (see specs below), I have been trying to install OS X mavericks for about a month now without success, I have tried various methods listed on the net (could not fing many guides for the M6500), I can get the machine to boot but it either hangs or keeps rebooting.

 

Are you able to post what your bios settings are, and what method you used to get mavericks installed.

How did you create the boot key ? is there a guide i can follow somewhere ?

 

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Luis.
