Insert NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and FakeSMC.kext in Extra/Extensions of USB stick (if Extensions folder don't exist, create it)

Reboot with -v -f

Sorry for my english

[south4769]

English is fine! Thankyou, but how do i boot with -v -f

[carbo178]

In chameleon boot screen simply digit -v -f

[south4769]

Thanks, but now i get this again

 

 

I did the steps too!

 

[carbo178]

Create a new folder in Extra, name it "Extensions"; put NullCPU and FakeSMC kext into Extensions folder

Reboot with -v -f

[south4769]

Thanks, i feel stupid i am in a rush so i skipped over that... So far it is working, but if it has another problem may i ask for your help?
Ok, im at the installation screen, how do i get my mouse and keyboard to work?

[carbo178]

Sure, post your problems and we will solve them

Good Hack

[south4769]

Ok, im at the installation screen, how do i get my mouse and keyboard to work?

[carbo178]

You need a USB keyboard and mouse, only until the first access to the system, then you will install the kext for PS2.
If you had created the USB with Pandora you could choose options for laptop and keyboard and mouse would work

[south4769]

This is happening now it says i dont have "essential system software"

It says this after i start installing into my main drive

[carbo178]

Perhaps the pendrive was not created properly, I suggest you create the USB with Pandora (see the guides)

[south4769]

Ok ive been messing around with pandora for a little bit and it is very confusing! Ive been trying to find tutorials but no good one have came up. I found one but it does not give a lot of detail so it is confusing. Do you know of any good guides for pandora?

Try to follow this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/forum/45-tutorials-the-genius-bar/

 

Concerning your not working keyboard and touchpad, you can find informations here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75403-before-you-begin-there-is-no-keyboard-connected-to-your-computer/

 

A good idea is using the platform search. I am sure, that you can find tons of informations for solving your problems.

 

Look for a guide for a working device with similar hardware.

 

Have fun.

done!!! thank you! pandora works good! just one question, what do i do with post installation?

[styrian]

You can install some for your hardware neccessary kexts. I suggest to use the backup funktion by installing the kexts. If they are not working, you can install the original ones back, if they get replaced by install. Very specific kexts, like the applehda. kext you should try to find with the platform search here. You can also try to install an applehda.kext, that is working on an other Dell device. But the device has to have the same alc chip. Using voodoohda is the last, I do, to get sound working.

 

With pandora kexts you should get any kind of ethernet nic, usb and nearly all sata chipsets get fully recognized and working. Just explore the postinstall package. Im sure you will find for you usefull things. The in Pandora included bootloader can updated here in the Downloads.

 

Have fun.

[carbo178]

done!!! thank you! pandora works good! just one question, what do i do with post installation?

Write the exact model of Laptop, or detailed technical specifications, included Audio, chipset, USB type and controller

[south4769]

Also, what do i do when it says this?

 

[carbo178]

Skip this passage, type "N"

[south4769]

After i installed it from pandora i booted from my hard drive and got this! AGAIN!

 

 

I completed the install too and when i restart it gives me the error above

 

[carbo178]

Reboot from USB stick, select Hard drive and type -v -f

[south4769]

It didnt work so i will try to reinstall. I will try this method again!

When i am installing what do i need to add from the customize menu?

[carbo178]

Try this: delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement from S/L/E of USB stick

[south4769]

Try this: delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement from S/L/E of USB stick

Ok, but could it be something in the customize menu, because i did not change the settings in customize. When i am installing what do i need to add from the customize menu?
