Snake_575 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 How about this, PM me your e-mail address, and I will share all of my current OS X files via the Dropbox with the interested parties? You will also continue to have access to my Dropbox OS X Folder as long as you wish. I continuously update said folder with the latest OS X developments as their pertain to our systems. As our systems are similar, the files that we require to run our systems optimally are also similar, so why go in circles and second guess where we could simply share? You will also have the write access to my OS X Dropbox folder, I only ask that you prudently utilize that privilege as others depend on those files as well. That's a great idea! thanks for your help I already sent you a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarwinX Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I would appreciate this too. There have to be some mistakes in the next i am using. Thank you for the great help. luggi [Edit] Rolling back the kext doesn't solve the Problem either. I have to roll those kext back every time before I can boot to a "working" screen. I suspect that the video graphics section of your current DSDT.aml is the issue here. Remove it and retain the Chameleon graphics injection or simply use my latest DSDT.aml or the one found at the bottom of the first post of this thread: [GUIDE] Making a DSDT.aml for Dell XPS M1330, XPS M1530, and XPS M1730 Direct download: DSDT_M1530_NVIDIA_ANYCPU_20110720.zip DSDT.aml.zip Also, ensure that you are using the latest Chameleon v2.1svn r1620.

LatinMcG Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 im fine so far with enabler after rv11xx or 2.1. but im staying in 10.6.8 mostly, sometimes i fiddle with lion but the wake issue bugs me (maybe low power wake disable?)im going to try older dsdts with pci uid fix for lion and smbios.plist needs macbookpro6,1 or macbook5,1 with proper identifier id.. and serial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinMcG Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 WARNING - ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop::initCPUCtrlLoop - no sub-config match for MacBookPro4,1 with 17 p-states, using default stepper instead this means u have no /Extra/smbios.plist with MacBook5,1 .. so it defaults to pro 4,1 which wont work wireless.

deandaman Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Guys, I've created the lion USB from the guides available on the site, edited the settings in the BIOS to AHCI, and put my lion USB to install. Now here is the part that is driving me crazy, sometimes it goes well all the way to the installer but gets stuck in random places when its installing. sometimes the usb is stuck while booting into the installer, again in various places. Am i missing something here? I've been working on this for the past day non stop.
