yehia2amer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for the help! And yes, the hardware should be pretty compatible with a higher end Macbook pro I found a USB hub and the mouse and keyboard worked! The installer couldn't detect my disks though Maybe it is a DSDT problem or a BIOS problem? Maybe I need more boot flags? I extracted my DSDT from linux and tried to use the auto patcher, but iasl recompiled it with a few errors in both Arch Linux and Ubuntu. I don't know that much about DSDTs, maybe someone can patch mine? Thanks for the response, I am making progress! sorry i don't have much experince in DSDT, but you can search for help & post your "extracted non edited DSDT from linux" in here http://www.insanelym...forum/228-dsdt/ or fix it yourself using DSDT Editor & Patcher Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tical2k Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ok new problem. I got an old i7-840qm on ebay. This is an upgrade from the i5-450m. I got everything working now, but my DSDT. Which was fine for the i5 now does not work for the i7. I get stuck at "Waiting for root device". I now have to boot with Peter_sm's dsdt he posted but with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes". Anyone got any idea? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaitu Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Does anyone successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8 on HP DV8 or on another i7 HP Laptop? If yes. What was the procedure used. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tical2k Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Does anyone successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8 on HP DV8 or on another i7 HP Laptop? If yes. What was the procedure used. Thanks. I've installed it by basically using this method. All you need is cpus=1, FakeSMC.kext, NullPowerManagement.kext, and either a kext for the tarackpad/kb or a usb keyboard/mouse. I installed using a i5-450m, but have since upgraded to a i7-840qm. It's caused nothing but headaches for me and my DSDT, though. Probably for the best, though, I don't have speedstep working.

dgrx Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi, Thanks to all involved with this thread. Got my DV7 updated to ML 10.8.2 pretty painlessly, with the info found here. Not running at 100%, but very functional. Had to use the uploaded NV kext's and Applehda from Lion. Kind of a frankeinbuild , but it works for now. Thanks again :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniodapc Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have this HP DV7 7202. The Graphics card Intel HD 4000 works fine, including graphics acceleration. But I can not run the HDMI port, can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdek Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 All, final holiday arrived; two weeks to try and get upgraded to 10.7.x. I have succesfully installed ML using this method and was wondering if I can not just update through the app store and then replace the kernel? Chameleon and extra folder is still in place.Or am I better off starting from scratch? Many thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebenjensen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Hi everybody! This is my first post on InsanelyMac forums. First of all, thanks to Mammoth and everyone else involved in creating this guide, and other very helpful resources. Without you, I would have given up on my Hac a long time ago. Second, my problem now: I have a HP Pavilion g6-2031so that I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.6.3 on, using Mammoth Method. So far, I have created a MIID and a XIID, on a partition each on a usb flash-stick. The chameleon boot-loader opens up nicely, even though it will only open if I insert the usb-stick in the usb 2.0. slot, not on the usb 3.0. slots. However, as soon as I start the Mac OS X Installer, I cannot get the mouse track-pad to respond. The keyboard works, but not the mouse. And thus, I get stuck a few steps into the installation, since I can't access the partitioning-tool :/... Has anyone experienced similar problems? And what is the solution? By using -x flag and a usb-mouse, I've managed to get further . The specifications for my laptop is as follows: CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50 GHZ, 2501 MHZ, 2 cores Chipset: Intel Panther Point HM76, Intel Sandy Bridge-MB IMC BIOS: Insyde, Version F.22. Memory: 6 GB (2048 MB + 4096 MB DDR3 SODIMM) Video: Intel HD Graphics Family, Intel HD Graphics 3000 Sound: Intel Panther Point HDMI @ Intel Panther Point PCH – High Definition Audio Controller [C-1] LAN: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Wi-Fi: Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/b 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter Optical disc: hp DDDVDW SN-208BB IDE-controller: Intel 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller The DSDT.aml that I am using is pretty much a clean DSDT, extracted from my HP g6 in Windows 7 using Read-Write Everything. DSDT Autopatcher says there is a few errors in it, and the black boot-screen right after Chameleon and right before the Mac OS X Installer mentions quite a few errors. I can post pictures of these, or copy-paste the Autopatcher errors, if this would help. I have left it out for now, to not bloat my 1st post with what might be unnecessary info. Thank you for your time, and please point me in the right direction if this is the wrong thread for my question, if you need to know more about my laptop in order to help me, etc. Cheers -Preben, Denmark Edited March 3, 2013 by prebenjensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_sm Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's very sad that 10.8.3 is no longer work on our (older) , its the graphic card issue, loos like everything else are OK. The nv* files from 10.8.2( from earlier beta number 2) doesn't work..... any one that might have a solution, please let us know //Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tical2k Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Back when I still had my dv8 (Let the magic smoke out of the cpu. Don't upgrade the cpu haha), I always had to roll back to the dp2 graphics files. There were only 2 I replaced, but it always worked, I think they changed how power management worked on the graphics in 10.8.3. Not sure, though. Also perhaps try the drivers straight from nvidia and see if those work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macq Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi guys, to make 10.8.3 graphics work ,is it possible to Insert our card's ID into NVDAResman and NVDAGF100Hal? I could not find any place in the info .plist where one could do that. can some one try this if they are familiar with this. are older cards working with 10.8.3, if they are we still have a chance? Please suggest anything that would help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskr66 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 my computer was updated today to 10.8.3 and it does not work , how can I bring it back to 10.8.2 ? it says unsoported ship ID=0xffff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi! If it used to work with 10.8.2, just restore or copy from the Time Machine or CCC backup the kext correspondent to the issue and repair permissions. In the following restart use the flag -f (WithKexts in clover). I.e.: your graphics cards stops to work properly with the update. Restore or copy from the Time Machine or CCC backup the kext correspondent to your card, and repair permissions if you manage to boot the system. In case you don't (or even in the case you do), reboot again, using the flag -f. Don't you have a Time Machine or CCC backup? Gee, man! All the best!

oskr66 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi , thanks for the help , I did not have a recent " Time Machine Back up " , but I was able to boot up by replacing AppleACPIPlatform.kext , and then taking all of the sensors kexts from the " extra folder " and just keeping fakeSMC kext , graphics are really bad and slow , not sure if there is a solution for this .... will continue to try ....

macq Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Any solutions for our graphics ?? Anyone ?? I tried adding my device id to both dp2 and vanilla nv kexts but no dice.

oskr66 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I edited the Power management kext with my device ID , but also it did not worked ! Not sure if the higher GODs could try to figure it out , I can only boot on safe mode with -v-x-f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macq Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 we need some one like 'nixin' to look into this. Also one cannot install the latest cuda drivers.At least me and I am not able to boot with any commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskr66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I was able to boot in safe mode , but sometimes it would not boot , you might want to try few times with -v -f -x , cuda driver was not able to install either , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the higher GODs could try to figure it out , I can only boot on safe mode with -v-x-f @oskr66 can you post a screen shot showing, at what lines did you made the changes in the AGPM.kext's info.plist. Any ideas as to what changes are to be made in the values of the p states etc.I believe that is the reason we can't boot the newer builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
