Trunyce

I was wondering if someone out there could help me patch DSDT for my Dell Optiplex GX280 which is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I already have the DSDT extracted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Hervé, your suggestion worked. One thing I do notice though is that I would hear the fan spin a little loud and then it stops every other 10 seconds or so. Why do you suppose that is? Sleep/wake works nicely and everything else that I tried worked for the exception of iMessage. A big thank you to the Hackintosh gurus. I just wish my D430 could behave nicely like my D630.

One issue I have is after I did everything Waldo mentioned in the previous post with the kexts, the I8k kext specifically, it always gives me an error upon myFix and my it won't boot if if I don't boot with -f or else it gets stuck at here:

I was able to update without a hitch, thanks guys. I just wish I could now get Lion to run properly on my D430 because it's smaller and easier to carry. Thanks a million to you guys.

Lol @ Herve.. Thanks Axel, I will give yours a shot. How do i go about updating to 10.9.5 after the install? I've already got 10.9.2 install but I followed another guide on here. I will recreate the usb with your guide to see which one works better for me. Thanks for all your help.

Axel, is it possible to get the bootpack? The links are no longer active. I'm taking a break from my D430 for i can't seem to get it to boot after Lion 10.7.5 installation. I have the D630 with Nvidia graphics. Does your extra folder work with Mavericks? Thats what im planning to install.

Yes Herve, removed the intel wireless card way before i attempted my journey and replaced it with the DW1390 card. And wifi is even disabled under bios too. I booted with -f -v i get stuck at [AGPM Controller ] unknownPlatform [AGPM Controller ] unknownPlatform

So I remade the USB installer of 10.7.5 and was able to install fine but booting up from partition always hangs on this:

Hi Herve, I'm confused. Because I checked the bootplist in the extra folder from the bootpack and it has the arch=i386 in there. I'm recreating the usb installer now using myhack. I'll try and see what happens.

Hi Allen_N, I have found this bootpack prior to my post and I created the install usb using myHack. Maybe I'm missing something, because the installer went fine but I keep getting a kernel panic upon booting the partition. Could you please guide me to proper way of using the bootpack?

Greetings Herve, I never really was able to finish with the continuation. In fact, I started from scratch and managed to install lion 10.7 lion on it but im still facing the same lagging and sluggish stuttering trackpad issue. I boot with -v -f arch=i386 and still the same issue. What am I doing wrong?

Ok, first thing first. Can i use the same bootpack for lion? If so, do i update first then copy the bootpack extra folder to the root of drive and repair fix permissions? Moreover, i boot in 32bit mode and the white screen comes up before the login screen and the screen just stays black. What's happening?

Soon after i wrote the last post, I found it. I was confused all along in the guide when making the myHack installer usb. I thought I had to copy the bootpack files to myHack usb as soon as it was done. And i read it again and realized that wasn't what i was supposed to do. I managed to get Lion 10.7.0 to install but it's so sluggis and trackpad is so slow and it lags. How do I update to 10.7.5 at this stage now? After i get lion working 100%, my plan is to get mountain lion installed alongside of it. Thanks for all the help guys.

Could you please direct me to the guide again? I've been away for a couple days, I'm going to work on it until im successful. Thanks in advance.

That's a good idea, i'll try lion and report back.

Update: I've received the DW1390 wifi card and replaced it, detected under bios. Still having issue installing the OS. It just reboots after system shutdown cause 5 prompt in verbose boot.

I made sure to disable the wireless under the bios and I ordered 2 DW1390 wifi card on ebay but I haven't received them yet.

This is my Bios on Latitude D430.

I believe it is a core 2 duo model just like the one in your signature. How do i attach a picture on here so i could show you?

I set the bios as recommended and i still couldn't boot up until i reinstalled another bootloader which was ML2_Bootloader_installer which went through the verbose screen up until those last two lines: Controller: Intel 82001G (vendo ID: 8086, device ID: 27dB) Previous Shutdown Cause: 5 then machine reboots. I couldn't find a way to post the picture here so I just typed it.

As a matter of fact I didn't. I will go through the bios settings again later on tonight. Hopefully that's what was causing the issue. I'll report back later on. Thanks for the input guys.

My Specs are identical to yours Hervé. I just don't understand why the loader never goes pass those outputs. Same thing happens when i boot with -f -v.

I interrupted loading bar and typed -v arch=i386 and this is the output: Loading Darwin 10.8 Loading kernel /mach_kernel Read HFS+ file: [hd(0,1)/mach_kernel] 4096 bytes. Read HFS+ file: [hd(0,1)/mach_kernel] 8187616 bytes. it just stuck on this and nothing else being shown on screen.

How do I achieve this Bronxtech? I have to go into the bootpack's plist of course correct? And what do i change?

I stand corrected Hervé, and I have made the myhack installer usb again, and the bootloader just stands there with doesn't even go pass the fancy wallpaper screen after the loading timer has ran out.
