  1. I just had a crazy idea. Could I somehow flash my bios to the latest M4300 bios? From what i understand it's the same board. The reason i was thinking this was maybe then I could use the M4300 boot pack and shutdown and restart may work better.
  2. I'm still having no luck with shutdown. But i wanted to pass something along that i've noticed, it may help with someone coming up with a solution. If i run my fix right before i shut down it will work every time. Additional info i am using the e6400 boot pack because the other one gives me a black screen. And i have done nothing to my DSDT.aml
  3. The reason I ask about chamelon is because I thought mountain lion would boot a little faster. I'm thinking about trying the boot list from the m2400 boot pack. Also shutdown and restart hang some times, as well as the computer won't wake up every other try.
  4. What's the best version on chamelon for mountain lion?
  5. Plugged in yes but on a old 65w supply instead of its usual 90w supply that's at work. Speed step and multicore option in bios. Should I disable speed step and retry?
  6. Or could it have something to do with speed step and the fact I'm using a 65w power supply at home?
  7. Help It might be my processor, I booted in win7 and did a performed performance test 1.0 score due to calculations per second being 1.0 Is it possible running Mac has over worked my processor, or something from when I changed the motherboard maybe? Is there a test I could preform to narrow it down between processor or motherboard? If I do have to get a new processor which one is best?
  8. Not sue why or what I've done but under about this Mac it says processor 1.5ghz instead of the 2.?? It should be. Does this affect performance and can I edit it to make it correct? Two days ago it was correct.
  9. I updated my test partition on ML today to 10.8.1 and it said an unexpected error had accrued and that the update could not be installed. I chose restart and let it do it's thing, it went to a spinning wheel for a bit and the in rebooted. All went well my about this mac now says 10.8.1 Good Luck
  10. couple of issues I was wondering if anyone else has had or knows how to correct. The first is a lot of times the system wont restart or shut down, it just stays at a grey screen and if you just press the power button you get a log on screen. The only solution is to power down by holding the power button. The second is that no matter how many times I run disk utility and repair permissions it says Permissions differ on “usr/bin/tarâ€; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x . Repaired “usr/bin/tarâ€
  11. I'll check for a bad permission and try again. Now that I have a almost perfect system, my next interest is what should the CPU temps be for th e6400. Mine seem to be around 60C when watching a YouTube video, and constantly between 40-50 C with light web browsing. I am using Tempature monitor 4.96 Just wondering since I have changed my heatsink to acomidate nivida motherboard and replaces factory heat sink compound with Article silver 5
  12. First off I just want to say thanks to all of you guys for your efforts. Heres what I've come up with. I have a nearly perfect install now, the biggest thing I found was installing each kext one at a time and running my fix to avoid panics. I've had it near perfect a few times following the guide in the beginning of this post, but never could get sleep to work. Now I have sleep working, in order to do that I had to delete both yes I had two appleintelcpupowermanagment.kext from S/L/E and add the NullCPUManagement.kext then running my fix, next i added sleepenabler.kext using kexthelper next i repaired permissions and rebooted. After rebooting i followed patel4prez's guide he wrote to remove sleep image and change hibernate. That got my sleep working very nicely with the lid. Now I'm going to install aperture and iWork and try updating those, hopefully all will go well. Couple of notes and question. Question Every time I run my fix from inside the operating system it take 30 to 45min to complete it use to only take 5 maybe 10. But if i boot into the osx installer and run my fix on / It would only take 5 maybe 10 min, this if what i did for most of the kext installs. Also I use to be able to use the M4300 boot pack no problem just didnt have all the mouse or power button options, but now I get a black screen when trying to install with that boot pack weird. The modified E6400 boot pack worked well. One final question I'm currently on BIOS A29 should i flash to the newest BIOS or leave it alone? I think I was acually on A20 when I was not having a problem using the M4300 Boot Pack. Thank's Again to you all, I hope I can help other's half as much as you all have helped me.
  13. I'm using the e6400 boot pack so do I need to delete one of the apple kext first before adding the null one?
  14. So if i reinstall using M4300 and add nullpc and sleepenabler It should work just fine??
  15. I am attempting a reinstall using the m4300 boot pack, and then adding sleepenabler.kext. For those that sleep is working which boot pack did you use and how did you get sleep to work?? Sleep itself is not the problem waking up is.
  16. E6400 Nvidia graphics 240GB OWC SSD 8GB Ram Mountain Lion

  17. I have a E6400 and I've noticed that MY Fix takes alot longer to run on Mountain lion, maybe three of four times longer than it did with snow leopard. Just wondering if any one else has noticed this? Also chameleon boot takes three or four times longer on boot as well. What I mean is that the blue status bar that scrolls from right to left takes alot longer. Any input would be much appreciated
  18. Update my nivida motherboard arrived I reinstalled ML, using the moded E6400 boot pack, then added wifi, battery, and voodoohda.kext from lion. All works well even volume buttons on top. The only problem I'm having is computer sleeps with lid but will not wake up, it seems to try but just black screen. Any one have a solution yet to E6400 not waking UP? Also how do i tell if my graphics are all working as they should besides the basic (they show up under about this mac and i can adjust screen resolution.)? One other thing I noticed is that the blue bar when chamelon starts takes three times as long with mountain lion than it did with lion.

  20. Update For the heck of it i installed and ran EDP app (I knew it would probably screw things up but i had nothing to loose, I'm going to be upgrading to a ssd any way) The interesting thing is that I got it to boot up in safe mode and the bluetooth and battery meter were working properly at the top right of the screen. Of course many other things did not work such as mouse and sound (luckily the bluetooth mouse did work) I was wondering if there was a way to get these tings working as they did in lion (bluetooth symbol, Battery Meter, Sound buttons at top) Also sleep dosent work for me but that may change once i receive new nvidia motherboard in the mail. Thank you in advance for any help. Also if i can help in any way I will, Im going to continue to experiment on my own, but don't have the experience like most on here do. P.S My track pad worked native but the stick mouse i believe it's called did not.
  21. E6400 with intel video "Updating to nvidia as soon as it arrives via snail mail. Installed as per the first post all went as planed except battery meter does not work. I tried replacing voodobattery.kext with the one that worked in lion neither works. the icon appears at the top of the screen but indicates 0%. Also I had to add the DellBluetoothHCI.kext to get the bluetooth to work, still dosent show up on top of screen but no big deal works well. The only other deviation i made was i added the broadcom43xxfamily.kext to make my wifi work. Any help with the battery meter would be much appreciated.
  22. I have a E6400 with a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card, It worked with lion using Broadcom 43xx family kext. My question is should i use the broadcom 43x family kext or the IO80211Family.kext as instructed in the beginning of this forum? If i need to i can purchace a different wifi card if another would be faster. Wifi will be my primary means of accessing the internet.
  23. I went to the boot back page http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/bootpack/ but did not see one for E6400 Mountain Lion. Should i use the lion one and then run edp after install. I read some where in one of these forums to use precision m4300 mountain lion bootpack?
  24. I have a e6400 with intel video. I have ordered a nvidia motherboard and new heat sink and plan to install next week. Two part question Will Lion that i currently have installed boot up normally with the hardware change or will i need to reinstall? Question #2 has anyone nailed down a E.D.P for Mountain lion Yet, or is there a easy to follow install? I hear that mountain lion is faster and more efficient than both lion and snow leopard.
  25. Thank you both. I have placed a order should be here tomorrow $5.00
