You're not even getting the ML HDD/partition with delay bar?

 

Which bootpack did you use, as there is none for D630 X3100 LoRes provided for ML ?

By stuck, I mean that I see the ML HDD/partition and the delay bar runs down, it does not boot.

I did not use any bootpack.  Scrolling up I'm starting to realize where I've gone wrong. (The instructions of this topic did not mention them.)

Are bootpacks so specific to the type of hardware that using another one wouldn't work?

Is my only option to install Lion?

Hello All,

 

New to the forum and trying to install OS X on a Latitude D630.

Been following https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1643-dell-d630-mountain-lion-install-guide-new/

and might needs some tips and advice.

Thank you to all of you that contribute and help out.  It's a pretty cool project.

I'm installing Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on a D630, BIOS A17, C2D T7250 2.0GHz, 4GB DDR2-667, Intel GMA X3100, 1280x800.

The HDD is an Intel 520 series SSD.

As I understand it, installing 10.8 is not advised since Apple has dropped support for this graphics processor.

Having completed the install, everything seems ok.

When I reboot, chameleon gets stuck at the boot prompt.  I can try all the different boot options from the drop down menu, but nothing seems to boot from disk.
