did it ask for your password when you saved it? check about this mac and see it it shows as a macbook air. if not in /extra/models/4x0 folder copy the smbios.plist and replace the one in the /extra folder then reboot

you would have to go line by line and check for diffs between them then transfer the changes to yours then hopefully not transfer the problem too... but don't feel bad i've tried and still did not get it as close as whats in edp lol.... somethings your good at somethings your not at least for me

no it should not mess up the install... start with the drop down menu and use the macbookair1,1 you can leave the rest for now and save changes. reboot and try coolbook.

coolbook reads the smbios file in extra so you have to use a compatible smbios identifier like macbookair1,1 or macbook2,1. there are more supported identifiers but you would have to compare the ones that coolbook can use to a smbios thats more compatible for your specific hardware like graphics and cpu class (yohan,merom,penryn,etc...) so you can try changing smbios identifier using lizard app and try changing it to macbookair1,1 at least it uses x3100 graphics

i will test your methods when i get to my d620 and report back in the evening

i think lion demands at least 4 gigs of ram

try hitting f10 at chameleon screen it should display all partions

it could be that when they extracted the dsdt that lan was off in bios so no irq was set in dsdt. maybe you can compare your own dsdt to the one that's not working properly using a dsdt editor

well i've been testing it and i don't feel it's any slower than running snow leopard and that's on a sata drive. now with ssd lion has trim support so i don't know how that would affect your rig.

well then you need to know what video you have thats definitely a start.... the problem could be a dsdt fix thats needed or a kext or graphics injection in boot plist, so boot to bios and in the first section of the bios it should say what hardware you have. at least it does on a d620.

well the "sleep fix" in "fixes" is not a kext it is a terminal command that sets hibernate mode to 0. if you need more info in terminal type man pmset... that will give you the literature for the pmset command ps i forgot to ask what graphics are you running because that can affect alot of things like my previous recommendation. if it's intel gma945/950 then do the build with d620-intel, but only if it's intel. definetly before you do that though try the option in fixes section of edp

try searching http://hddguru.com/ you might need windows installed

check edp option under fixes ther's one for sleep try it. if not try building for d620 intel

maybe you should run a hard drive utility to check it and make sure it's not defective. unless apple locks the bootsector on there machines disks. i wonder if setting a hdd password would unlock it. looks like you have some homework to do...

well that's probably because he wanted a mobile image using the usb so he would have a running OS so that it would make it easy to work with the hdd without an adapter (ugh...ziff socket)... imaging a drive is as simple as zipping a file. you can either clone from one drive to another or to a .dmg image. transfer depends on the medium your using. like one partition to another partition on same drive or to a thumbdrive/ usb hdd or to one of those multi thingy's ide/sata/to usb for physical drives. in your case i would do the usb drive like you stated clone your working install to a drive that your cloned image would fit to. if edp is already on that image then your good to go as it's the same machine build already. so the only missing part would be to install chameleon to the usb drive and you should be boot-able to your image. then you can setup the native hdd as necessary from within the OS chose source and target wait a while once it's finished then install chameleon to your freshly restored hdd. reboot and you should be good

then make sure you have smbios in /extra directory from edp d430 build. it is set for macbookair1,1

try making the hdd active... sorry forgot to get back to this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22844

you having this issue reminded me some one else on the forum had the same issues and i don't think we came to any conclusion either... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/495-new-hard-drive-new-problems/page__p__3307__hl__boot__fromsearch__1#entry3307 but my guess is maybe it's as simple as marking the partition active? you did say it was new. heres a quick guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22844

ok what methods do you use to install osx? maybe something like this can help http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=257464&hl=

i download it from chameleon source and compile with xcode i think it was up to 1003 as of last night. but i have seen compiled versions in kexts.com if your a member... im not.

yeah i would start with that or use a chameleon that has an installer and do a repair of the drive with diskutility

did you ever use some sort of efi bootloader or installer on that drive? there might be a corrupted efi bootloader install in the hidden efi partition. also is it an mbr install or gpt?

make sure your installing chameleon to the harddrive if not try a newer version. you might be missing the hidden file "boot" from the root of your volume

go to energy saver and click on show batt

it's not ready for public release.... we are still beta testing 10.6.8 and lion DP4.
