look in the extra folder and see if you have a com.apple.boot.plist or org.chameleon.Boot.plist.... if you have org then you need chameleon 2.1 svn.

boot with -x -v if not search the forum for edp2.2 try that edp2.1 has a bug with gma fix

it needs to replace the extra on the root of the drive.... 2.2 is for lion by the way... edp only works from the root never from documents. you also need to make sure it's named Extra not 2.2, there also should not be an Extra folder inside Extra

once you install like 10 times you become a pro.... lol, glad it's working for you

install the latest chameleon to your my hack usb or use the one provided.... and use the kextpack for your model and graphics

hdd on desktop is now a finder pref.... and if your booting 64 bit, keyboard and trackpad will not work because of 32 bit kexts

what are you using for dsdt?

exactly why i had to use the external adapter... but im sure it will install to a usb drive but it will be slow as molasses. when you get it sorted out though from usb you image it to the hdd

funny enough i had a similar issue with ich9 i had to remove the drive.. connect it to a sata usb adapter and install that way, until i patched the dsdt enough to get ich9 support.

well edp is based off 32 bit kexts so i'm not surprised

then find IOATAFamily.kext from 10.6.7 or earlier also did you boot with with -v -x cpus=1 arch=i386

so boot with -x or are you booting fine again?

boot with arch=x86_64 at chame prompt or change i386 to x86_64 in org.chame.Boot.plist there's also an option in chameleon wizard latest version for force 64 bit. but in any of these cases trackpad and keyboard will not work... you will need to find a 64 bit kext that works for your model.

ich9 usually needs a patched ioatafamily or dsdt... you can try with something like this http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=62 and do laptop ich9 patches to dsdt.

turn off Blue tooth and connect a usb keyboard. that's all that means... unless you have a BT keyboard if you do then i guess try syncing that.

this is normal for dell... ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized. dell never implemented p-c states in there bios... did you add an extra folder to the root for your model to the thumbdrive?

try a diffrent trackpad driver

the pointer stick doesn't work with any of the edp track pad kexts i believe... you should be able to build edp again using a different track pad option... as for updating you might lose networking... im not sure on your model. if your drive is big enough you can re size and clone your existing setup to a new partition using diskutility for your testing purposes... like that you always have a stable setup backed up to go to if things go wrong.

try this one https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/747-wrestling-with-my-d630/page__view__findpost__p__5050

try myhack installer you might have to boot it with -v cpus=1 arch=i386

well what does boot use for com.apple.boot.plist? check the extra folder. maybe you need to rename org.chame.boot.plist or find out what iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) uses. i used iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) maybe twice a long time ago... i don't recall the way to use it.

EDP needs to be run again.

that is a bios setting that needs to be turned off. has to do with overclocking the cpu... i don't recall the true name intel accelerator?

pmversion is needed if nullcpu or sleepenabler are outdated and i guess you need to find a dsdt which supports the higher resolution. edp beta2.2 did not help?

follow the wiki... you need a bios password also set your bios to defaults
