    D630 with Lion cannot see HDD

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Thanks Hervé and Basilio for your help so far!

     

    I've followed the steps above:

    Disabled my Intel Wifi.

    Set the BIOS settings as per the post in the forum.

    I made a usb stick via myHack, with 10.7 Lion from the app store. 
    then put D630 Extra folder on the USB stick via myHack,
    then put AppleACPIPlatform.kext file in to /Extra/Extensions via Finder,
    then ran myFix (quick) via myHack onto the USB stick.
     
    I installed the OS onto my drive. Half way through, it asked me if I want to add an Extra folder.
    I chose the D630 Extra folder. It asked me some more question, very well explained, and I chose accordingly.
    Once the installation for 10.7 is finished, I get a white screen, with a cursor, which I can move. Nothing else.
     
    I also tried to add AppleACPIPlatform.kext to the D630 Extra folder once it asks me after the installation, but also I get the same thing.
     
    Anything else I can try  to get this working?
     
    I have an intel GPU D630 with the low res screen.

    OK, so in /Extra I have:

    AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

    ApplePS2Controller.kext

    FakeSMC.kext

    lspcidrv.kext

    NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

    Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext

     

    Last time I posted I mentioned that I downloaded the D630 Lion boot pack, and installed it via myHack via "Install Extra. This made the HDD hang, and stop booting half way through.

    I since installed the generic Extra from within myHack, and the installer boots perfectly again. I still can't see my internal hard drive though.

     

    What can I try next?

     

    Edit:

    Removed Extensions:

    AppleGraphicsControl.kext

    AppleTyMCEDriver.kext

    AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext

    Disk utility doesn't see the drive. Only sees DVD drive and USB boot drive.

    I've made a standard installer from myHack.

    I'm not home at the moment but I'll post up my

    /Extra when I get in.

     

    Another thing I did last night before sleep is download the boot pack for 10.7 and used myHack to add the /Extra on the boot drive. Now I can't boot the installer. I'll just make the installer again and let you know of the contents of /Extra.

     

    Thanks for the help so far, I'll post up when I get in.

    Hey all,

     

    I've been lurking for a few weeks now, reading a lot of the information already posted.

    I've got a D630, and I'd like to install Lion 10.7 on it.

    I downloaded myHack 3.3.1 (well done on getting the website back up), and got my 10.7 installer from the Mac App Store.

    I then used myHack to create a USB installer.

    I've setup the BIOS exactly as per the instructions already posted here.

    However, when booting the installer, I cannot see the internal Hard Drive.

    The SATA operation mode is definitely set in AHCI mode. The BIOS can see the 500 GB HDD, but the OS X installer cannot.

     

    What shall I do next to get this working?

     

    Many thanks in advance for your help,

    romanboy.
