    Mountain Lion on E6400 in 5 Steps!

    in The Archive

    Posted

    First, this post is in no way taking away from Darvinko's post here.

     

    That thread did an amazing job figuring out how to get ML on the E6400. This is merely my way of installing ML on the E6400 in just 5 steps. It's quick and easy with no manual copying/overwriting of files. This was tested on an E6400 and M4400 (both with nVidia graphics) but will most likely work on the E6500.

     

    These instructions assume you know the basics of using myHack and the OSX installation process.

     

    Credits go to Darvinko, Tengokuu, Patel4Prez, CypressPearl, Conti (myHack), Mariusz and any others I've forgotten.

     

    Prerequisites: Mountain Lion, myHack, 8GB USB stick, access to an existing OSX install (to prepare files), and patience

     

    1. Extract attached zip file, which is both the bootpack and Extra folder.

    2. Use myHack to create the USB installer.

    3. Run myHack again and choose "Install Extra". Point to the USB drive as the destination, and choose "use my own" and point to the folder that you extracted in step 1.

    4. Boot from USB and install Mountain Lion

    5. Near the end of the installation, myHack will ask for the Extras folder. Again, choose "use my own" and point to the Extra folder on the USB installer.

     

    Sleep should work natively with the included DSDT.aml file (posted by Mariusz), but must set hibernatemode to 0 in terminal:

     

    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

     

    If sleep still doesn't work, then you can try SleepEnabler.

     

    I didn't include the IO80211Family.kext because my wireless card worked with the DSDT out of the box, but if your wireless doesn't work then you can install the modified IO80211Family.kext in the other thread.

     

     

    EDIT: updated Extra.zip with new edited nVidia kexts for 10.8.2.

     

     

    I would like to say thank you for the great job you have done and the great Darvinko as well

     

    You have just made it really simple for any biginer to enjoy the benefits of mountain Lion on the E6400 Platform

     

    First setup I created installed and worked perfectly,

     

    I would call this a perfect setup install for E6400 with A30 BIOS and nvidia Graphics

     

    Once again thank you
