    Mavericks on E6410 with Intel HD graphics

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Perfect! That confirmed my suspicion that it seems to be the graphics card/kexts!

     

    What is your graphics card recognized as under OSX?

     

    I believe that because we removed the graphics kexts/osx doesn't have any graphics drivers at the moment, anything more than one screen may never work (yet)!

     

    Hopefully, with your help (since I don't have an Intel machine to test with), we can get this working!

    OK, I tried something new with my DVI ports.  Let's call them DVI1 and DVI2 and they are connected to Monitor1 and Monitor2 (identical models) respectively in a docking station.  I plugged in DVI1 and booted my E6410.  Obviously, Monitor1 came on.  Then I tried plugging in DVI2 and still nothing.  I shutdown and this time plugged in DVI2 and booted my E6410.  This time Monitor2 came on.  I tried plugging in DVI1, but Monitor1 did not come on.  Any thoughts on that?  Does that mean that the hackintosh can only see one monitor at a time?

     

    And the resolution still won't adjust.  Seems like I've tried a lot of different combinations with Chameleon Wizard with the same results.  Maybe there's a combination I'm not trying?

     

    Thanks for all the help so far!  Hopefully I can get this working soon!

     

    Just for kicks, can you try plugging in just one monitor (DVI1) and keeping the lid open? By doing this, you should get full resolution on both the laptop screen and external one too. I know for a fact this works for me as I use this setup everyday, so if it doesn't work for you, that means that I messed up somewhere/left something out in the guide. 

     

    Sorry this is taking so long and hopefully we can get you up and running shortly :).

    Hello everyone, im following this topic https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3115-mavericks-on-e6410-nvidia/ to install 10.9 on my Latitude E6410 with intel core i7 m620. 

     

    But this tutorial is for the nvidia gpu not for intel hd graphics. How I should to proceed? And what smbios should I use? 

     

    Sorry for my bad english! Thanks!!  :D

     

    This was pulled from the "Updates" post directly beneath the guide :) :

    Hey guys, 

     

    Firstly thanks to the OP with the guide to install mountain lion.

     

    Issue I'm having is I can't connect to any wireless networks, keeps telling me connection failed.

     

    I'm running ML 10.8.5 update with the kext's installed as posted in the guide.  I have latitude E6410 Nvidia 4gb ram and just recently ordered and installed a Dell 1510 wireless (Broadcom BCM4322).

     

    I've followed the instructions from darvinko by deleting io80211family kext from S/L/E and updated the kexts into extras with kext util and repaired permissions.

     

    As soon as I had installed the wifi adapter, it detected and installed which was great - it will scan for and find the networks, but it won't connect to the 2 I'm trying.

     

    I've done plenty of searching and can't find anything specific to this.

     

    Can anyone guide me to a solution ? ... If it's an incompatibility  for osx to connect to anything with AES encryption I'll need another solution as I'm an IT tech and can't go around changing all my customers wifi.

     

    Thanks in advance,

     

    Did you try the airportd fix in the Troubleshooting section in the first post?

    Optiplex 7010 - OSX / Win7 dual boot - how to?

    EDIT: I just read that you want to keep Windows 7 on your machine! In my past experiences, I have found that the best way to go about doing such a project is to back up EVERYTHING to an external drive, doing a clean reinstall, and then restoring your data from there. In the end, this results in better performance, less crap on your hard drive, and a chance to make any upgrades you may have wanted to (OS wise). Dual booting with an existing Windows partition can be done, but it increases the chance of errors and isn't supported by default under OS X. If you still want to dual boot with the existing partition, post back here and I'll try to write a guide later. 

     

    Here's a very rough guide I just wrote. Some of the things may not be called the same thing as I am doing this from memory, but it should give you a pretty good idea of how to get it done...

     

    If you have 2 hard drives and want OS X on one, and Windows on the other:

    1. Boot into the OS X Installation Disk and open up Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menu bar.
    2. Partition the 1st disk (select the top, local hard drive in the list (the one that isn't indented), move to the partition tab) as the following:
      •  Master Boot Record (Options... button in the bottom left of the Partition tab), 1 Partition, FAT, and give it any name you want
    3. Hit Apply
    4. Partition the 2nd disk (select the second, local hard drive from the top (the one that isn't indented), move to the partition tab) as the following:
      • GUID Partition Table, 1 Partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and give it any name you want (as long as it's different from the first drive)
    5. Apply again
    6. Restart the machine (Apple logo in the top left, Restart) and boot to the Windows installation DVD/Flash drive/whatever you're using to install
    7. Assuming you're installing Windows Vista/greater, select your language if prompted, click Start Install, select custom, and find the name of the first disk in the partition list. Look at the number of the disk (It should either be Disk 0 or Disk 1) and delete the partition (advanced in the bottom right of the window, delete) you just created as well as any others that may be on that disk, until you're left with just one Disk 0 or Disk 1 and it says "Unallocated Space" next to it. 
    8. Highlight this Unallocated Space and click Next
    9. Windows should install without any trouble.
    10. When finished, boot back into the OS X installer and Install OS X to the second drive.
    11. You should now have a successful dual boot on two hard drives.

     

    If installing on one hard drive:

    1. Boot into the OS X Installation Disk and open up Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menu bar.
    2. Partition the disk (the one that isn't indented), and head over to the partition tab in the top to do the following:
      • GUID Partition Table (Options... button in the bottom left of the Partition tab), 2 Partitions, FAT for the first, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) for the second and give them names you want, (just make sure they're different)
    3. Restart the machine (Apple logo in the top left, Restart) and boot to the Windows installation DVD/Flash drive/whatever you're using to install
    4. Assuming you're installing Windows Vista/greater, select your language if prompted, click Start Install, select custom, and find the name you gave the first partition in the partition list
    5. Click advanced in the bottom right of the window, and click delete
    6. Highlight the partition that just got deleted, click next, and Windows should install just fine.
    7. Reboot into OS X and install OS X to the second partition.
    8. When it completes, you should have a successful OS X/Windows dual boot.

     

    You can now perform all the necessary post install actions under OS X (and install an Windows drivers) needed to get your machine running smoothly.

     

    Post back here if you run into any problems. 

    Dell Vostro 3560 Problem with Installation 10.9.1

    I'm not sure what would cause the screen to go black as I haven't taken a look at the bootpack/this machine in general, but try booting with "-f"/"Ignore caches" in Chameleon (Boot from the flash drive, wait until you get the option to boot from the installation disk, then hover over it/keep it selected while you type "-f" (without quotes) and then press Enter). This may get your mouse to work, as it did for me on some of the machines I have worked on in the past.

    thank you for your answer...

    the ML is 10.8.5

    i just tried with your kext, but is the same...i see the prohibited and the infinite circle

     

    i reboot with -v, and stop in:

     

    still waiting for root device...still waiting for root device.....(could be a graphics problem?, i have nvidia v3....

    maybe you can tell me how to do it, 

     

    other question in edit EDIT 6/4/2013, 

     

    between 

    • Select Run myFix
    • Select Full

    you have to choose ¿the hard drive or  myHack OS X Install Disk.?

     

    In postInstall i can not choose Extra in maintenance (step 54) with hdd hard drive...

     

    when you say replace the kexts, is just put in folder E6410 ML and e6141o ML 10 8.4....or do it with kext wizard that i can no do it in step (19-54), because i can not choose "extras"...

     

    Best regards 

    Fernando

     

    Chose the Hard Drive when running a myFix; nothing on the Install Disk should be touched so there's no reason to fix the permissions.

     

    Do you have an Extra folder on your hard drive? Check by opening up a Finder Window and pressing "Alt+Shift+G" and then typing in "/Extra" without the quotes, and then Enter. If you see an org.chameleon.Boot.plist, a RemovedExtensions folder, and an Extensions folder, then you do have a /Extra folder and I have no idea why you can't select /Extra in Kext Wizard! Sounds like a very strange problem...

    Hey Fernando,

     

    First, make sure you are updated to the latest version of Mountain Lion (should be 10.8.5), and then replace the kexts in /S/L/E with these:

     

    https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=1937

     

    That should get you past the prohibited sign that you see when you boot from the hard drive.

     

    As for Steps 11 and 12, thank you for pointing out that the picture is incorrect. It should have /System/Library/Extensions selected, however the picture has /Extra selected instead.

     

    Follow the text of the guide and select /System/Library/Extensions in Kext Wizard.

    All,

     

    I have one new issue.

    When connected to my network by cable the connection with the network gets lost every now and then.

     

    I have the DHCP setting to auto and all is filled out correctly only a reboot of the E6410 will get my ether net back.

    I loss connection to other Mac's in the home network as well connection to the Internet.

     

    Does one of you seen a similar problem and was able to fix it?

     

    thanks,

    Not sure why that is. Could it be a network/router issue? I don't know what your setup is like, but if you're connected directly to a router, try power-cycling it.

     

    I'm using Ethernet right now and it's been working for the past four hours.

     

    When I tried to upgrade my system from E6410 Intel Graphic to Nvidia Graphic, I think I met same problem with DLinkOZ and deano019s.

    I tried to boot with USB Memory Stick, but I couldn't - KP after CPU recognition. I could boot with old AppleACPIPlatform.kext file.

     

    I had a question - why my system couldn't boot without old AppleACPIPlatform.kext?

     

    Finally, I think I found the reason - It's compatibility issue between newest AppleACPIPlatform.kext and BIOS option about VT-D.

    (BIOS - Virtualization Support - Enable VT for Direct I/O : Uncheck)

     

    After re-installed, I found a defect about battery detection. With old AppleACPIPlatform.kext I could use AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext with perfect monitoring, but now I can only use VoodooBattery.kext - monitoring works but is not perfect.

    That's quite an interesting find...

     

    What do you mean by the monitoring being "perfect" vs. "not perfect"?

    Hello dwarf_!

     

    Welcome to OSXLatitude!

     

    To answer a few of your questions, the graphics issue is a known problem, but cannot be fixed (ever, unfortunately). The problem lies in the graphics capabilities of your E6410. My guess (from what you're describing) is that you have Intel Graphics, which is incompatible with QE/CI, or full graphics acceleration. This means you only have CE, or half the graphics acceleration necessary to run OS X at full capacity. It is because of this that you will notice Launchpad take forever to load, Notification Center to glitch up, and the DVD player not able to open.

     

    Sound on the other hand should work fine. Did you follow the VoodooHDA.kext installation steps in the Post Installation section?

     

    In order for Wifi to work, you will need a Dell Wireless 1510. As for the Intel card that comes with the E6410, it may never work under OS X.

     

    Battery life under OS X should be close if not exactly the same as what you'd get under Windows, so I'm not quite sure why it indicates one thing but has a different capacity all together. Could be the Voodoobatery.kext. I'll check it out when I get a chance.

     

    You can remap the Command, Option, and Control keys under System Preferences > Keyboard. I'm not sure of the exact location of where it is, but I do know it's somewhere in there :) . 

     

    As for your last question regarding licensing, I had a similar one when I started hackintoshing and this article explained it to me quite nicely.

    Pablo,

     

    I have done whet you wrote but had some issues.

     

    The system will only boot when I boot it with -f.

    Then shutdown functions, sleep looks to work but the power button stays ON and the van keeps on running and keeps blowing warm air even after 3 to 4 minutes.

     

    I took out the lines in the plist file kept the aml file in the Extra folder and the system had to be started with -f.

     

    What could be the case of this?

     

    thanks,

     

    Hang tight. 

     

    I hope to add a fix for Shutdown/DSDT and the -f issue later on today (check back at about 1600 Eastern Time)...
