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 ??

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

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 :rolleyes:

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?

**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 :(

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

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 :P

 

IDEAS ... ANYONE ?? :)

Used [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] (NEW!)

Tonymac Tool to Create a Bootable 10.7.x Installation USB Drive from App or USB Thumb

 

Finally got to the Lion installation menu and got through all the way to reboot :P

 

However when I reboot all goes back to the same problem :wacko:

DSMOS has arrived then screen goes blank :)

 

HOW do I get my screen to work? "Monitor AU Optronics B173HW01 V5 [17.3" LCD]" 1920X1080 Native Resoloution..

 

OR even the external VGA/HDMI ?? New BIOS F.1A has option for "Switchable Graphics Mode" with "FIXED" and "DYNAMIC" options tried both settings with and without Power adapter plugged in :) I noticed that switchable graphics changes in windows with A/C removed.

 

:o:blink: :blink:

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=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/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)

Hi GDMorry,

 

Congratulations. 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.
