Thanks. I'll give it a go. Not at home anymore now. Ill do the .5 update also.

 

The 10.10 I guess I'll wait for myhack to support this. It was easy and smooth. I have spare disks for the 10.10 later

You can only "upgrade" to Yosemite through a fresh re-install. However, this can normally be done over your existing Mavericks installation and retain all your files and apps. This is a general process whatever the OS X release.

 

ok..

but after that 'over' install, do I need to reload/refind any kext?

and the 10.9.5 update. can it be done without harm? 

Ok, will post you the definitive /Extra folder later on today.

 

Wireless will only work with a supported card. Intel cards are no go. Consult the non-exhaustive list of supported cards posted in R&D->Hardware section of the forum.

ok... Was thinking that.but no worries - wifi is not needed (desktop mode )

 

Great - I'll wait for the extra's later. 

 

 

Just had a small problem . . the ethernet connection dropped dead ... reboot fixed it. maybe it was something else, dunno.

 

Last question. When I have this 10.9.4 fully running (powermgmgnt). Can I upgrade 'vanilla' to the 10.10, or do I need to fiddle again afterwards?

What's your D630 LCD resolution? WXGA+ (1440x900) or WXGA( 1280x800)?

the built in is WXGA+

hi there,

 

 

followed the install method provided here (so my hack and the extras you have in your library).

 

Install went good, expet it stopped before being really done (one minute remaining). I powered the thing of, and rebooted from the harddrive. It booted, and a lot is working, speedy and stable! great!!

 

But I think in that last minute there are some files not copied.

 

BUT

 

I don't have :

- sound, fixed using the VoodooHDA frome source forge.net!

- power management don't work (it can't properly reboot or shutdown)

- wifi doesn't work (but don't need that)

- the onboard keyboard and trackpad arent working

 

 

I'm using this with external screen and external keyb, "like a desktop" - 

 

I attached some info (my mac info and my extras folder). If you need more, please yell

 

PS: I did a hackintoch before (2-3 years) with a optiplex GX620 (still running 10,6,8) - and it was a LOT harder then this - this is almost out of the box. great work!
