I think the HD is the problem - it is one of the newer 4k sector size "Advanced Format" HDs

 

EDIT: indeed this was the problem. I just placed the original 250GB HD back into the M1530 and installed clover on it - works like a charm!

 

Now the question is has anyone got one of those modern drives working with clover and M1530?

Immo do you have Dynamic Acceleration activated in BIOS when using Clover? I am getting problems with sound when it is turned on (seems like a problem with the audio clock)

usualy IRQ removals and add 11 to HPET fixes it

 

slice just posted his inspiron 1525 config (intel x3100) but the rest should apply

Hello all,

 

I am seeking help for my M1330 (with GMA 965 aka X3100). I am currently running 10.7.5 with these kexts http://www.osx86.net/view/3459-intel_x3100_rev_0x2a02_32bits_and_qe-c_...html

 

It is told that I needed to swith to 32 bit mode for this graphics card but when I do so, I experience black screen problem at the boot. 64 bit mode works but with an incorrect resolution.

 

Do you think that it is related to my DSDT? I am using the one named : DSDT_M1330_NVIDIA_ANYCPU_20111029.zip

And the winner is MEEEE with a great help from mr DARWINX....you rule man!!! ;)

 

No problem, I'm glad that it worked for you, I'm always happy to help when I can.

 

OOOOO noooo I've not trasparency....so I think no QE, I'm using your kexts and your dsdt from 10.7.4 and also your smbios and chaleon.org......is not possible I've not QE....this is a damnation.....

 

Perhaps you are missing the GeForceGLDriver.bundle which I didn't previously upload due to its large size which exceeds the forum's upload limit of 10 mb.

There is really no way of knowing your system's deficiencies without the kernel log output and other relevant diagnostic data.

Long time ago I made a guide for installing Leopard on XPS-M1330, since I got real Macs and Mountain Lion on them, I left the forum before Snow Leopard appeared, now I trying to have Snow Leopard on my XPS, everithing works except audio and I am kind of lost. I tried VoodooHDA with no success, I am confused with the

HDEF patch, how do I make the patch or what do I need to install besides VoodooHDA?

 

 

Thanks, and excelent effort with the DSDT.

Welcome back Macgirl! I am glad to see that you are still around the hackintosh scene. Your guide was always very helpful and well received by our community, and I'm sure that it is still remembered and appreciated by many, including myself.

 

The Dell XPS remains quite compatible and stable under the latest versions of the OS X provided the AppleACPIPlatform.kext is regressed to an earlier 10.6 - 1.3.6 version.

As far as the sound goes, the only thing which appears to consistently work on our rigs is the VoodooHDA.kext. I believe that the AppleHDA.kext is no longer patchable or viable on our systems.

The previous versions of the VoodooHDA.kext were indeed viable under the OS X 10.6. The VoodooHDA.kext v2.8.2 does work very well under the OS X 10.7 - 10.8 and possibly 10.6.

Ensure to install it along with the latest VoodooHDA.prefPane v1.2 as well as with the AppleHDADisabler.kext if the original native AppleHDA remains installed.

 

 

VoodooHDA10.7v2.8.2.zip VoodooHDA10.8v2.8.2.zip

 

VoodooHDAv1.2.prefPane.zip AppleHDADisabler.kext.zip

Thanks, I am trying with several versions, all I got is sound on the headphone jacks but nothing on the speakers :(

Hola, macgirl!

 

Out of curiosity, won't you try Mountain Lion also on your XPS? We now have a legacy kernel that runs very stable on "legacy" Intel CPUs (such as the Pentium Dual-Core) who haven't modern SIMD instructions support, thanks to Sinetek's new ssse3 (yes, three "s") emulator (which also supports sse4 and 4.2 btw). If you're willing to try it in the future, the kernel is in thi first post of this topic: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281450-mountain-lion-kernel-testing-on-amd-dont-ask-help-here-use-the-help-topic/

 

All the best!

I did not try Lion or Mountain Lion since I have a real mac with them. My XPS had Leoprad but some apps I tried need Snow Leopard at least, the reason that I don't want Lion on the XPS is the memory it has, I got one real Mac Pro with 2 GB of Memory and Lion is very slow in it. Sorry for the bad news :(

Hi!

 

Mountain Lion runs like a champ with my tiny Asus 1201n (Atom CPU, Ion graphics) and 2GB of DDR2 RAM (800Mhz, if i'm not wrong). Of course, it will depend on what kind of work will you do with the machine, so i got your point (i only do basic coding, gaming and music recording with it).

 

Anyway - as you know already - Mountain Lion is not Lion and manages the RAM even better than Snow Leopard, if that's what's worrying you. Snow Leopard will start/shut down faster in any machine, but in every other task, it would lag behind Mountain Lion. That's it.

 

All the best!

 

P.S.: out of curiosity, why won't you upgrade your MacPro's RAM? Using a beast of a machine like the MacPro (even the 2006 model) with that little amount of RAM is kinda heartbreaking. :P
