R1Racer Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi guys, I'm new here and a rather hackintosh n00b so please bear with me. First things first - here are my notebook PC's specs: Manufacturer: HP Model: Pavilion dv6695el Entertainment Notebook PC (full specs on manufacturer's page) Mainboard: Quanta 3D02 Chipset: Intel PM965 Southbridge: Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) BIOS: Hewlett-Packard version F.5A date 3/22.2010 CPU: 2.40 GHz Intel Centrino Core2 Duo T7700 RAM: 2 x 2048MB Kingston PC2-5300 333MHz DDR2 Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 128MB / 64 bytes HDD: Fujitsu MHY2250BH SATA 250GB 5400rpm Optical: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632M ATA Device Display: 15.4î WXGA 1280 x 800 High Definition BrightView Widescreen Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem LAN: Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) WLAN: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection Audio: Biostar Realtek High Definition Audio Device - seen by Windows7 as HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0268&SUBSYS_103C30CC&REV_1000 Biometric devices: AuthenTec AES2501A Fingerprint Reader Input device QuickLaunch Buttons ACPI\HPQ0006 Touchpad Mouse: Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad Webcam: HP Webcam - USB\VID_064E&PID_A110&MI_00 External Storage: Ricoh 5-in-1 Card Reader FireWire: Ricoh 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller What I've done so far: I successfully created a bootable Lion 10.7.2 USB drive by following Tony's tutorial. I then booted the laptop from it (with no partitions on the HDD), ran the Disk Utility and created 3 partitions: 1st for Lion (GPT 70 GB), and the other 2 for Windows7 (C: 50 GB and D: 112 GB) and installed Windows7 Ultimate on the 2nd partition. After that, I went ahead and installed Lion. And that's where the rubber met the road Once the Lion installation was done, I booted again from the USB drive and selected the mac partition. Lion was kind enough to load properly and allowed me to use the external mouse and keyboard that are attached to two of my laptop's USB ports. However, once logged in, Lion deals pretty well with my Nvidia adapter, but freezes completely as soon as I connect an external 23'' Samsung 2333HD LCD monitor via the HDMI port. Also, I noticed that the camera doesn't work at all, although it worked well under Snow Leopard. There's no sound either but that's hardly a surprise for me since Snow Leopard 10.6.2 wasn't able to recognize my notebook's audio adapter by default either. As I mentioned before, I'm a n00b and therefore I need your help and guidance. I'm not asking for anyone to fix my notebook's kexts issues, but I'd highly appreciate if you pointed me to the right direction. Although I wouldn't mind having a 100% working hackintosh, I'd settle with * boot from the notebook's HDD * graphics (including the extended desktop on my external monitor via the HDMI port) * audio and hopefully the embedded stereo mic * sleep/restart/shutdown * wifi * camera I'm aware that it's a long list but I'm hoping for good results Thank you in advance!

R1Racer Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Alright, it's been 4 days since I started this thread here, I thought this was a helpful community, should I believe otherwise? By the looks of it, either my notebook's configuration is unlikely to run Lion properly, or nobody cares whether I can achieve the desired functionality or not. I dunno what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
