GDMorry Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have a HP Pavilion DV7-6111tx I have collected a AIDA64 Everest report, a DSDTSE Windows extracted dsdt.dsl and a Ubuntu extracted dsdt.aml (clean no work and one compiled with just one fix) and added all this into a dv7-6111tx.zip. I was hoping someone could help me with a fixed and patched DSDT.aml to work with this lap top. CPU Type Mobile QuadCore Intel Core i7-2630QM, 2200 MHz (22 x 100) Motherboard Name Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC Motherboard Chipset Intel Cougar Point HM65, Intel Sandy Bridge BIOS Type Insyde (06/24/2011) Version = F.17 Video Adapter Mobile Intel® HD Graphics (3938232 KB) Video Adapter Mobile Intel® HD Graphics (3938232 KB) 3D Accelerator AMD Radeon HD 6770M (Whistler) Monitor AU Optronics B173HW01 V5 [17.3" LCD] etc. etc. (full details included in Everest report) Installation method advice would be appreciated. I can get S/L installed but CPU info does not allow a Lion upgrade ?? dv7_6111tx.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninditsu Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 without spoon feeding, try using the iAtkos L1 from uphuck to install lion. figure out, on your own, what customizations will satisfy your needs I only support this method, because I have legitimately purchased Lion already, so, I feel like I can use this modded method. I suggest you do the same, support the manufacturer of the OS we like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMorry Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thank you I have never heard of "iAtkos" I have used mammoth's method and succeeded on a DV6-2114tx. I have a Gigabyte desktop system that is all working fine with Lion. On this laptop (DV7-6111tx) I seem to have problems with the cpu caller error (I'm not sure if it is a Sandy Bridge problem ??) ALL Software that I have is purchased I have three Snow Leopard DVD's and have purchased the Lion app from apple. I refuse to used pirate software .. if I want it I purchased it = guilt free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMorry Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I had no progress at all using mammoths "Cham" method as I could not find a suitable miif I subsequently used Maldons method and created a USB. Fixed com.apple.Boot.plist is depreciated error by simply renaming it to org.chameleon.boot.plist. Fixed mach_kernel error by copying mach_kernel to / of USB . Updated all in Extra Folder to MacBookPro8,1 / Sandy Bridge from maldons Extra_MacBookPro8_1.zip Booted from USB and attempted install with -v -x arch=x86_64 cpus=1 KP as attached. Oh and would a basic DSDT.aml with no patches and no errors (just a few warnings) be better to use than none at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMorry Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 **Note** Extra SATA Drive & 4Gb ram stick removed =only one drive for mac os and one 4Gb stick ram. I removed the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext also AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext and placed in IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector LegacyAHCI & NullCPUPowerManagement Also added <key>DSDT</key> <string>DSDT.aml</string> to org.chameleon.Boot.plist ... I got a LOT further but last thing I saw was something about waiting for DSMOS then the screen went blank .. yet machine is still powered not a reboot .. usb showed a little activity but all quite now no progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninditsu Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 for blank screen, connect an external monitor via, hdmi or vga. what ever you have. that just means your EDID is not being detected by OS X. so look up a method on obtaining your EDID from windows. if you ever get the screen to work while using ATI graphics acceleration, then let us know. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMorry Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 OK I have tried just about everything I can think of I simply can no get past the "dropping to blank screen" .. Which is where I am guessing the LION "install greeting" would normally be? I have used the "Extracted EDID" method and it does come up in my Snow/Lep as the EDID monitor (so that part works) Well .. I thought I could copy that "/System/Library/Displays/Overrides" folder to the same on the Lion install .. NO joy The internal LCD only works up to the point of Lion install / greeting I simply can not get any external monitor VGA/HDMI to work in Snow/Lep or Lion install ?? I also can not seem to get any VGA/HDMI monitor to work outside of windows IDEAS ... ANYONE ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMorry Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 SUCCESS Everytime I booted from HD I lost display, so I copied and used all settings the same as if I were booting from tonymacs "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]" and VIOLA I am finally into LION on my HP DV7-6111tx using HD3000 Graphics at the moment I don't care for the ATI 6770m (I've got plenty of time and developments will be made) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came accross your post and I was curious to know, how you disabled your ATI card without the option in your BIOS to do so ? did OSX take your HD3000 as the main card by default ? awaiting reply, thanks.
