[Guide] Dell Inspiron 6400/9400/1520/1720/E1405/E1505/E1705 Intel Core Duo

[TheGreatDeceiver]

So some one is buying my dell. I`m thinking of getting a new one eather another dell or a macbook. I rather get teh 15.4 inch dell then the 13.3 inch mac. Which dell is the most compatable ? The core issue and vid card and such.... Is the new Vastro more compatable ? Please let me know before I buy. Thanks in advance.

 

hey yozh, is the first line a statement or a question? How much do you want for it? At least yours has dedicated grafx card, unlike mine. I have to wait another 1 or 2 yrs before I can justify a new one.

[devilhood]

please help me

 

hello my name is Manos and i have Inspiron 9400 ,

T7200 (from bios disable 1 core),

Go7900 GS (no dual display but 1920x1200) ,

wifi intel 4965 (not working) ,

sound Sigmatel 9200 (not working) ,

Bios A09 ,

 

and Leeopard 10.5 Hackintosh.

 

i want help for Sigmatel 9200 , and Go7900gs support dual display...but with step by step instructions....

 

It has been described time and time again.

 

The guide makes it perfectly clear what to do.

No some one here is buying my dell, I`m getting alot for it dont think you would want it. I`m looking at the m1530. DO you guys think its a good choice ? with the 8400M vid and the T7500 CPU, I hope the dual core problem is not there any more and I can get it pretty cheap anyt suggestions highly welcome

hey,

I'm also a 9400 user, and just installed kalyway's 10.5.1

 

I did follow your guide to the last detail - and it helped me a lot, what I'm missing atm are the AppleHDA, and intel 3945 wifi kexts, the links from your guide work - but after that not rly. I tried googling them, but so far no luck. anyone can tip me out ?

Also - I think I've installed the nvidia drivers properly, since I can see them loading if I boot with -v at the darwin prompt.. but how do I make my 2nd panel to work ? It is plugged in the analog (VGA, not the DVI) port, but if I click "Detect displays" nothing rly happens. I'm pretty much new to MacOS so I might have set something wrong, but can't figure what - yet.

 

it'd be great if I could use macos on my lappy it works soo cool

I know this is at Devilhood but as an FYI the 3945 kext does not work, you have to buy a usb wifi dongle or buy a pci e dell truemobile 1390 off ebay.the appleHDA can be found via a search from this forum, the guy who made it is called taruga and it's called the "appleHDA patcher". I think Rammjet also put together a compilation of solutions that include the applehda patcher and where to find it. you can find all this via forum search.sorry can't help ya about the detect display issue but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Isn't it funny how many people miss the attachments at the bottom of the first post

[rogabean]

Any news about testing?

 

 

Not yet. I havent had a point where I could be without my OS currently installed long enough to be able to blow everything away and start again. Sorry. Will let you know when I do however.

[lennyb]

I'm trying to install on an e1705, NV G7900GS, 2GB RAM. I disabled the second core and removed the SATA disk drive, since I'm trying to install directly onto an external USB drive for safety.

 

I had no luck with iATKOS 1.0ir2. After using diskutil from Jas 10.4.8 to partition and erase, I discovered that the installation times out on the USB drive at about 5%, no matter which customize options are selected.

 

I'm having better luck with Kalyway 10.5.1, but still not there. On the first pass, I partitioned as MBR and told it to install the Vanilla Kernel, ACPI Fix, NVInject, and Boot_efi loader for MBR. The installation completed, but it wouldn't boot to the desktop. Instead, it hangs up right after loading Directory Services and before loading the video driver. I tried again, substituting Natit for NVInject and had the same problem.

 

On the third attempt, I didn't install either the Vanilla kernel or a boot loader. This time the installation worked, but the partition isn't bootable. I have to boot from the DVD, and it's using the "sleep kernel" 9.1, instead of the vanilla kernel. Other than that, everything seemed to work, QE/CI, AppleHDA Patcher, etc.

 

But I would really like to make a bootable partition and use the vanilla kernel. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? With Kalyway, do you have to select the GUID partition style and GUID_EFI boot loader to load the Vanilla kernel and boot? I haven't tried that, yet.

 

(By the way, with AppleHDA Patcher 1.10 and Sigmatel9200.kext, I did get a microphone input and was able to record sound on the e1705, both from an external microphone and external line in.)

[sonotone]

Not yet. I havent had a point where I could be without my OS currently installed long enough to be able to blow everything away and start again. Sorry. Will let you know when I do however.

I tried by moving Leopard's partition from disk0s1 to disk0s3: still the same problem. I'd make a perfect clone of it on external usb Hd: it boot flawless.

[rogabean]

Well I have blown everything away. I'm in the process of getting everything back in place so I can begin running tests.

 

The difference is this time I have went with a GUID disk instead of MBR. Windows booted ok after installation of both using the Darwin/EFI so I will begin testing the two cores for OS X later and report back.

 

Keep in mind my setup is slightly different than everyone else as I seem to be on ly one with the cheaper 533FSB Core2 so this may have some impact possibly, but I'm not sure yet.

[lennyb]

I'm fine now, but I had to go through some hoops that other people don't seem to have encountered.

 

1) To get the Kalyway 10.5.1 installation to boot on an external USB drive attached to a Dell e1705 (getting it to go past the

startup statement that loads Directory Services to load the video drivers and desktop), I had to deselect the vanilla

kernel in the customized install options. When the Vanilla Kernel and ACPI fix were selected, the system refused to

do a complete boot after the installation. I had better luck with Kalyway than iATKOS 1.0ir2, which refused to

even copy the installation files to the external USB drive.

 

Once I was satisfied with the USB partition, I plugged my SATA laptop drive back in, created and formatted a FAT32 partition in Vista

Home Premium, booted back to Leopard on the USB drive with the F12 menu, erased the FAT32 partition into

an HFS+ Journaled partition and used Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate the USB partition on the new partition on the SATA drive.

(I had to resort to Carbon Copy Cloner, because there seems to be something seriously broken in Leopard's Disk Utility that

prevents it from creating DMG files or copying a partition -- at least from USB to SATA. Every time I tried this with the Kalyway

Disk Utility, the imaging process just aborted. (The disk utility in iATKOS 1.0ir2 was far worse than the Kalyway version. It

refused to even erase a FAT32 partition, and on one pass, it trashed the partition table on my SATA drive. I had to use

Acronis Disk Utility suite to get the partition table back after iATKOS.

 

2) Carbon Copy Cloner didn't make the new partition on the SATA drive bootable, although it did allow the cloned partition

to boot when I started from the Kalyway DVD. I had to teach myself to manually install the MBR EFI bootloader.

This turned out not to be a big deal. I ran Pacifist and extracted the MBR EFI Boot package from the Kalyway DVD.

I then booted Leopard from the USB drive again, opened the Terminal application and ran the commands with startupfiletool

and dd to make the partition on the SATA drive bootable. (For anyone who's interested, you can find details on how to do this at:

http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/ind...t68076-250.html

http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/658/howt...ot-setup-guide/ and

http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/734/howt...-in-hackintosh/ )

 

I used EasyBCD in Vista Home Premium to set up a multiboot option to the Leopard partition.

 

= =

 

I have one last question about this. My default kernel is the 9.1 sleep kernel, not the Vanilla one because of the

customized install options I had to choose. Suppose I modify com.apple.boot.plist so that the Vanilla kernel always boots.

Will that mean I can run the automatic Apple update to 10.5.2? If I run the 10.5.2 update and it works, will I then be

unable to boot 10.5.1 from the other 9.1 "sleep kernel?"

 

Thanks to anyone who actually reads this -- and to everyone else in this thread, who helped me decide that the

e1705 was probably the best bet for compatibility on a Dell dual-core model. I would still like to see if I can

redirect sound output to headphones only, as TPB Karney was talking about, last year, by modifying the

info.plist that goes with AppleHDA.kext. I was relieved to discover that the microphone and line-in worked,

once I got the right version of the patcher and codec.

 

 

New Hardware: Dell e1705, NV 7900GS Video (full QE/CI), Stac 9200 Sound

v. 1.10 and Sigmatel9200.txt), Broadcom 440X Ethernet, Dell 1390 wireless, Bluetooth (working) XBench 1.3 103 (w/Vanilla kernel)

[rogabean]

Quick update. The current test did not work using the GUID formatted drive with Leopard and Vista for getting Leopard to boot with the second core. I will be trying with the MBR formatted drive in the next day or two and report back.

 

Sonotone: you said you can boot with both cores with an external drive, correct?

Exactly, but with usualy graphics shutterings. Maybe something goes wrong in interaction beetween Sata and Cpu (chipset?). There was not this issue under Tiger. I tried (with leopard) many kexts from Tiger (like IOATAFamily.kext & co.), but no changes.

And something interesting: with same clone, i can use vanilla or patched kernels on the external HD; internal installation only accept vanilla's one (my Dell wants to be a real macbook now?).

[Daveyon]

I have an issue with my E1505. Whenever I closed the laptop lid the screen gets blank and nothing happends. Whats causing this? Is there a settings to set that i can say when i close the lid nothing happends?

[Jurek]

Hey, ppl.

 

I got iATKOS on my Dell E1505, and quickly realized that I'll have to spend lot's of time reading through the pages of this forum. Great thanks Devilhood, for makeing such a wounderfull guide.

 

I just wanted to clear some things fo myself up. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Intel pro wireless 3945 has no support so far. Apple HDA patcher gives sound for STAC 9200, but no auto switch between headphones and speakers, no mute, no line-in.

 

I enabled QE on my Radeon X1300 by editing ATIRadeonX1000.kext, putting my vendor id, but I got some glitches (white lines that appear for a split of a second on a screen, and mouse tearing. I fixed mouse tearing by using Cursor locator, but still. I couldn't get res change fo 1280X800 by editing appleboot.plist. Is there any sollution that is better for my video, to get res change and get rid of glitches? Like make naitit work in my iATKOS or smth? (Don't get mad on me if this sounds stupid)

 

Thanks a lot.

You would have to provid a bit more info about your system, like what kind of a vid card would help, and version of OSX and maybe which driver you using.

[lennyb]

Since no one answered my last question, ("Can you run the 10.5.2 Mac Software Update with the Vanilla kernel installed?") I poked around and found the answer. Just in case anyone else is coming in without going through all of the sixty-odd pages -- NO, you can't run the Apple Software update to get to 10.5.2, even with the Vanilla Kernel installed. There's a thread in the Leopard Hackintosh installation forum that specifies downloading either the Kalyway combo package or the Apple package, and modifying a few KEXTs before rebooting. See:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...069&st=2060

 

Maybe this link should be added to the front post. I'm not sure whether I came across as too incomprehensible or too lazy for anyone to reply to. (I have been around for awhile in the Tiger topics, although not here.)

 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to TBCarey's promised patch for Sigmatel 9200 audio under Leopard to permit play through headphones only. As I believe one or two others have reported, I'm only able to record from the system mixer by direct wiring the headphone jack to the line in jack. That works, and the microphone jack also works with either an external microphone or line in feed from an external source.

 

FWIW, my experience with the dual core issue on the e1705 is that it's unpredictable whether the desktop will boot. I tried the procedure of disabling the second core, booting the OS, rebooting and re-enabling the second core, rebooting again -- and discovered that this isn't a reliable way to guarantee the system will boot with both cores active. I can get it to the desktop about one out of four times with both cores -- better luck when the system is booted cold then restarting after a failed boot. My Geekbench score jumps from about 1450 to 2300 with both cores active (after putting it to sleep and waking it up again). I also noticed that the System Profiler does something funny when I boot with CPUS=1 on the startup line but both cores enabled in BIOS. (This is with the EFI SMBIOS linked to at the front of this thread.) I get a report in System Profiler of CPUS=0, Logical Cores=1. When the second core is disabled in the BIOS, System Profiler reports CPUS=1, Logical Cores=1. With both cores enabled in the BIOS, in the instances where the boot process goes through to the desktop, System Profiler reports CPUS=2, Logical Cores=2. This is all with a partition on the SATA (7200RPM) hard disk. When booting from an external USB drive the system behaves differently. It will always reach the desktop with both cores active, but the sleep and wakeup routine fails and the system freezes when returning to the desktop.

You would have to provid a bit more info about your system, like what kind of a vid card would help, and version of OSX and maybe which driver you using.

 

Ok. Its a Intel 950 video card. no drivers installed for it. Kalyway 10.5.1. Dell inspiron E1505

[kevinosx]

Ok. Its a Intel 950 video card. no drivers installed for it. Kalyway 10.5.1. Dell inspiron E1505

the gma950 cannot sleep, so therefore you have to go through the settings and make sure that the computer never sleeps when not being used, when the lid is closed etc. this is all changeable in the settings menu.

 

There is no current working for the gma950 sleep issue, only for the people that have all the upgraded cards....

[Shortyman87]

hey folks,

 

is there ever a chance to get both cores working on an 1705? I mean, is it a matter of time or are the bios problems not resolvable?

[kevinosx]

Shortyman87, it's been referred to numerous times in this thread but the general consensus is "no" since Dell gave us a crappy bios and no one capacitated is willing to get around it. But on the other hand, if you have any graphics card above a gma950, you can reinitiate the cores after the startup of mac os x.

 

Bottom line, don't get your hopes up!

[peptonite]

Just one thing is not clear to me,is PowerManagement.bundle compatible with vanilla kernel? yes or not? Because i've tried a million times to install it together with AppleACPIPlatform,(the one from iatkos) I've done the 1.0.5 to 1.1.0 thing also but nothing happens, no battery showing, nothing.

What should I do?

I have a dell inspiron 6400 cd t7200 atix1400 2gb ram leo 10.5.2 kalyway with vanilla kernel(10.5.2) Dell bios is 017.

Thanx for the help

Installation Procedure with Upgrade from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2

Get or borrow USB-Keyborad and USB-Mouse in order to finish the 10.5.2 Upgrade Installation if PS2 kexts are not recognized

Downloads and packages needed:

Genuine Mac OS X 10.5.2 combo Update (343 MB)

Kalyway 10.5.2 updater package

Kalyway 10.5.2 kernels patched

1052_Backup_kext.zip file containing ApplePS2Controller.kext , ACPIPS2Nub.kext , AppleACPIPlatform.kext (from 10.5.1), AppleSMBIOS.kext (52 KB), IOATAFamily.kext, and IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

PLEASE unpack the archived files into a subdirectory easy available from Terminal (name it without spaces).

 

1. Use Super Boot CD with Acronis Partition Expert Safe - for partitioning the hard disk (I have made 4 primary partitions, second one as FAT32 and the rest NTFS)

 

2. Start notebook with Kalyway DVD Leopard 10.5.1 and format as HFS+ the second partition created in the first step.

 

3. Install Kalyway OSX Leopard DVD 10.5.1 - select only EFI_MBR with check mark (when Customize appears on the Install window).

 

4. Restart first time in order to create the ADMIN USER, but please introduce an Administrative Password in order to have FULL ACCESS in Terminal afterwards.

 

5. Restore the Factory Settings (orange background and rest of extra settings added by Kalyway) - there is an installer issued by Kalyway to revert to the original interface.

 

6. Install the Sound driver with Taruga's v1.20 & Sigmatel9200.txt dumpcode - microphone not working, but buttons on the front of the notebook for louder and lower volume, do.

 

7. Install ACPIPS2Nub.kext by dragging the kext on Kext Helper application.

 

8. Use now Kismus DVD (another boot DVD) to change the patched kernel (~ 4.8 MB) with the vanilla one (~9.8 MB) - I did this step in order to have the genuine kernel active and named as original in order to be recognized by the genuine Leo 10.5.2 updater downloaded from Apple's site (343 MB combo version).

 

9. Keep your fingers cross and restart the system - it should work on your Dell (exactly as mine Inspiron 6400/E1505).

 

10. It should work fine (check the recognized parts of the hardware with "About This Mac") with no error messages and no kexts unloaded because un-proper installation.

 

11. Now you can install the upgrade 10.5.2 downloaded from Apple's site. Please follow the instructions from the following forum

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87078

 

12. Please respect ALL the steps recommended in that document (for this kind of laptop you need to change the script 1 for DSMOS.KEXT user).

 

13. DON'T FORGET - The system starts immediately after upgrade (if you let it, see special indications bellow), but needs a bit longer time and restarts by it self from the boot screen (that is a normal behavior even for genuine macs).

 

 

Special indications for a working Leopard 10.5.2 on Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505

Here I will detail a bit the steps that you should perform in order to get a functional notebook with active keyboard and Touchpad (because both are PS2).

 

a. DO NOT LET THE SYSTEM TO RESTART AFTER 10.5.2 UPGRADE INSTALLATION.

b. I did changed kexts installed by the upgrade, the ones mentioned bellow.

c. Replace the AppleSMBIOS.kext (60 KB) with the one downloaded in the 1052_Backup_kext.zip file from RapidShare.

d. Replace the AppleACPIPlatform.kext with the one in package uploaded in RapidShare.

e. Replace the IOATAFamily.kext with the one in package uploaded in RapidShare.

f. Replace the IONetworkingFamily.kext with the one in package uploaded in RapidShare.

g. Do not forget to chown and chmod in Terminal for each kext or by using Kext Helper that was installed in Applications and try to repair permissions.

h. Reinstall the Sound driver with Taruga's v1.20 & Sigmatel9200.txt dumpcode - microphone not working, but buttons on the front of the notebook for louder and lower volume, do.

i. Restart the system and cross your fingers again. My Dell has started normally.

j. After restart everything is working (in "About This Mac" the model is recognized, the exact model of the laptop MM061 as was addressed from Dell Factory settings) - see the captured images.

 

DO NOT INSTALL AND NOT EVEN TRY TO DO IT FOR THE "LEOPARD GRAPHICS UPDATE" - the laptop it goes in start to a BLACK SCREEN right after the gray with dark apple boot screen ( I tried many solutions published by others and NONE HAS WORKED) - seems it is a major BUG from Apple.

Hope it helped, and for those non-believers I attached several screen captures.

 

The functional parts in this notebook are:

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 2 GHz (recognized normally, but functional with only one core, please insert cpus=1 as described above)

Chipset - Intel 945M - recognized

Video - Intel GMA945M - recognized as GMA950 and fully functional with CI/QE and different resolutions - DO NOT INSTALL "LEOPARD GRAPHICS UPDATE"

Memory - 2x1 GB DDR2 @ 667 MHz (PC2-5300) - recognized and fully functional

Hard Disk - Toshiba MK1234GSX SATA2 120GB - recognized and fully functional

DVD-RW - Philips SDVD8820 - recognized and fully functional

LAN - Broadcom 440x 10/100 - recognized and fully functional

FireWire - RICOH OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 at 400 MHz - recognized and fully functional (tested in connection to an iMac 17")

4 USB ports - all functional

PS2 Keyboard and PS2 Touchpad - recognized with prepatching before installing 10.5.2 upgrade, fully functional now

Sound - Sigmatel 9200 - recognized after patching, working fine without microphone (the front buttons working only for louder and lower volume)

Mini PCI-e replaced card - Dell Wireless 1500 Draft N - NJ449 - recognized and fully functional

 

The parts non-functional in this notebook are:

Original PCI-e mini card - Intel 3945a/b/g Wireless Card - NOT RECOGNIZED AND NOT WORKING

Ricoh 3 in 1 Card Reader - NOT RECOGNIZED AND NOT WORKING

Only one core for CPU, but anyway a very high score in X-Bench ~105 and Geekbench ~1880.

 

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE - DO NOT INSTALL TheBad Ape FROM KCNCrew because for sure it will mess up all your system (I couldn't launch in normal, single or safe mode - enters in some endless operation without going in the interface).

what about power management? does it work for you? I don't see any battery meter on you screenshots.

did you try? Because I have almost everything working except power management, intel wifi and 1280x800 screen res for my dell inspiron 6400 with ati x1400, and xbench result is "112" and "154" (without disk). osx kalyway leopard 10.5.2 with vanilla kernel
